I'm loving the fact that K-State dropped the most. I'm sorry, but is that bad??
They needed a reality check. They were ranked too high to begin with in my opinion.

KSU is at their apex right now. After 2 or 3 years, the talent will fall with Webers recruits and they will be middle of the pack in a continuingly falling big 12.

Since we're just minutes away from the AP coming out, why not tease with another ballot. This guy has us #14 (up from 19 last week):

There is no excuse for these. None. You can't DROP teams in the rankings when they have an undefeated week, including one 30 point win. I can't decide whether this is utter incompetence or sheer stupidity.

On the other hand, I'm glad Medcalf is coming around.

WSU in at #14 in the USA Today poll

[MadaboutWu]

7 spots improvement and top 15 in coach's! Wow!

[1979Shocker]

Miami made a big jump right behind us.

[GoShockers89]

Coaches' Poll looks surprisingly....logical.

Creighton's too high at #17. Other than that, there's not much to argue with.

Actually, there there are obvious excuses for Bilas and Katz - they are the ULTIMATE BCS butt-boys. If there isn't BCS man-love going on with those two, then they're all frowny-faced. In their minds, there should be a tournament for the Big 6 and noone else.

Just sayin'

Sort of like Cold with EO.

Bilas and Katz have given the MVC and WSU plenty of love.

Love, love? I think it is more like that they have taken us out to dinner, a movie, given us a few kisses, and now they just want to screw us.

[wsushox1]

15 in AP poll

Bilas has indeed given us plenty of love. He's constantly doing it on College Gameday every Saturday morning. For some reason, it's not transitioning into his power rankings. That's too bad.

Katz has given love too. But the 3 spot drop doesn't make a **** of sense. I realize Miami would leapfrog us, but after that, that's really puzzling and kinda pisses me off.
