Poll Watch, 2012-13 Edition

[shox1989]

It's not looking good for the Shocks to stay in the top 25. Last week, Seth Davis had the Shocks at #15 on his ballot. This week he has the Shocks unranked. He has Akron in at #25 and moves Cu up to #13.

I would love it if we check in around 27, but I'm expecting a more severe drop down to #35 or so. Guessing we'll need to reel off 2 or 3 undefeated weeks to get back in.

I'm just glad this happened now instead of March.

This one is much better, but he had WSU at #11 last week, this week David Borges has WSU at #19. A drop of 8 spots. But an 8 spot drop overall would keep WSU in the top 25. There is still hope. At a minimum this ballot guarantees that WSU will at least be in the "others getting votes" category.

He has Cu at #14.

Some more bad news. Jerry Carino drops the Shocks all the way from #15 last week to UNRANKED this week. He ranks Cu at #16.

The Shockers have disappeared from the CBS top 26 (Cu moves back in at #22 after being unranked last week in this ranking):

Some more bad news. Geoff Grammer has his ballot out and he drops WSU from #15 last week to UNRANKED this week. The last 2 weeks his ballot is exactly where WSU ended up. The week before he had WSU at #20 and the overall AP poll ended up having WSU at #20, last week he had WSU #15 and WSU ended up #15 in the ap poll. Let's hope he is wrong this week.

He has Cu at #22 this week.

At this point, it looks like we will be limping to the finish line.

Just need to find a way to hold serve.

Even better, T-28.

That's pretty generous compared to what they did to VCU when they lost two in a row. A perfect week could sneak us back in.

We're limping right now. If we can go on a 3-game win streak against very beatable teams we will have a chance to make adjustments before the last very challenging stretch of the season.

Somebody panicked I think and said we'd be lucky to get a couple votes this week.

No Armageddon after all.

Just want the team to get back on track and finish strong. I think they are better hunters then prey. Final poll after the tourney is the only one that matters.

GO SHOX!!
