Official Top 25 Poll Watch

[1972Shocker]

On Sunday, February 26, games are:

Wisconsin (16) v. Ohio State (8)
Florida State (15) v. Miami
Pittsburgh v. Louisville (17)
Indiana (23) v. Minnesota

On Monday, February 27, I think the Shocks will move up at least 2 notches and maybe 4 notches.

So we are guaranteed at least one more Top 25 loss tomorrow.

Of course, if Wisconsin beats Ohio St it will counter the Iowa loss.

We should be 15 or 13

[ShockTalk]

I'll say 16th, maybe 15th if Wisconsin loses today (2 losses and not a win over Ohio St) and Florida (#12,#11, bad loss) drops enough. I don't see us passing #15/#16 Florida St (lost to Duke, could actually move up), #11/#12 Michigan (lost to Purdue), and no reason/no losses Baylor or Murray St.

Losses this week from teams ranked #5-20 in the AP poll.

#9 Georgetown- 1-1 (loss @ Seton Hall, win vs. Villanova)
#11 Michigan- 1-1 (loss vs. Purdue, win @ Northwestern)
#12 Florida- 1-1 (loss @ Georgia, win vs. Auburn)
#15 Florida State- 0-1 (loss vs. #4 Duke, @ Miami tonight)
#16 Wisconsin- 0-1 (loss @ Iowa, @ #9 Ohio State today)
#17 Louisville- 0-1 (loss @ Cincinnati, vs. Pittsburgh today)
#18 New Mexico- 0-2 (losses @ Colorado State, @ TCU)
#20 Notre Dame- 1-1 (loss @ St. John's, win vs. West Virginia)

Also suffering losses this week: #22 Temple (@ St. Joe's) and #25 Virginia (vs. UNC).

Poll mechanics are in our favor this week. How much? We will see.

Wisconsin beats Ohio State to possibly save their ranking.

Louisville wins. Indiana wins. FSU leading very early.

I would assume Wisconsin remains in front of us, but we should leap Louisville depending on how strong the Big East bias is. FSU losing would kill their ranking, but a win probably keeps them ahead of WSU.

Florida State down 15 with 7:50 left.

[GoShockers89]

Miami is putting the wood to #15 FSU without the Hurricane's best player, leading 50-35 with 7 minutes to go.

At this point, it's a sure thing that we will leapfrog #18 New Mexico and #15 FSU. #16 Wisconsin and #17 Louisville are anyone's guess. I also think there is a decent shot that we catch up to Florida.

I'll optimistically predict that we check in at #15.

I'm guessing #16, but I will be very happy with anything better than that!

15th or 16th for the Shocks seems like a reasonable expectation.
