Poll Watch, 2012-13 Edition

[ShockTalk]

#17 in CBS's Top 25 and one. Same spot as last week.

Well, as far as their poll goes, no way any Pac-12 team should move up 4 spots by beating Wash. and WA St without the same happening for WSU. Probably the same goes for Mizzu up 5 spots beating Vandy and SC. Both did what WSU did. Beat teams you were suppose to beat.

You're right. Fortunately neither one of them gets a vote in the real poll.

Correcto. Guess the eyes were seeing what they wanted to see.

Yea I really don't think we are going to see as much movement upwards in the poll as people think we will. I'm thinking 18-19

Damn, that would be a bit disappointing. I think you're a little too low.

#15 on Seth Davis's exceptionally weird ballot:

He has Duke falling all the way to #13 and UCLA debuting at #14 (after a 1-1 week). Also keeps Creighton at #16.

Seth Davis had WSU at #18 last week. So if everyone else treats WSU the same (move up 3 spots) WSU would end up at #17.

I think WSU will end up anywhere from #13 to #17. It is hard for me to believe that with all of the upsets this week that WSU would be any worse than #17.

ETA: Cannot read. Actually #11.

While I like the #11 much better, this guy had WSU at #15 last week. So he moved WSU up 4 spots (just one more spot than Seth Davis).

It is still very nice to see.

It also is another ballot confirming that WSU should move up into the #13 to #17 spot (a move up of 3 to 7 spots).

Clicking on the link, I also see that he has Cu at #19. Last week he had Cu at #17, so he dropped them 2 spots.

Seth Davis had Cu at #16 this week. Last week he had Cu at #12. A drop of 4 spots.

Considering how many other top 25 teams also lost, Cu might not drop too much.

#15 on Geoff Grammer's ballot, up from #20 last week.

#15 and a move of 5 spots both sound good to me. This guy had WSU at #20 last week which is where we ended up.

So far we have seen 3 ballots and WSU has moved up 3, 4 and 5 spots.

This guy also had Cu at #25 this week, dropping them 10 spots from last week. He has k-state at #21 this week, 11 spots lower than he had them last week.

The same 3 ballots have had Cu drop 2, 4 and 10 spots. And Kstate has dropped 8, 11 and 14 spots in the 3 known ballots so far. This weeks final poll could be very interesting.

Now some not so good news. Bret Strelow has WSU at #18 this week. He had WSU at #20 last week so he only moved WSU up 2 spots.

So far we have seen 4 ballots and WSU has moved up 2, 3, 4 and 5 spots.

This guy was easy on Kstate dropping them just 3 spots to #16 (yes still ahead of WSU). He was brutal to Cu dropping the Jays from #18 last week to UNRANKED this week.

Just saw that one too.

His was kind of interesting because he only moved us up 2 spots, but had just 1 team (Miami) jump us. He basically just refused to penalize anyone for losses. Seems like a couple voters have taken that approach this week.

But he certainly penalized Cu dropping them from #18 to unranked. He (as well as the other 3 ballots we have seen) also penalized VCU. As VCU has not appeared on any of the ballots we have seen yet.

Asinine.
