Poll Watch, 2012-13 Edition

Creighton certainly saved their arse with that performance on saturday against st. joe's.

8 and Zero,

Top 25 Ranking,

Another "ROAD WARRIOR" victory, and

Northern Colorado coming to town. Well can you, CAN YOU DIG IT!!!

[all valley]

I hope both Shox and CU win until they meet each other. That would have been awesome!

[JaminShock]

Please don't shout me down with the 'one game at a time' stuff... if we take care of business at Tennessee, it's likely that in two weeks we could be looking at a ranking around 15. At that point, we would be 10-0 with three quality road wins and three wins over BCS schools. Follow that with two winnable home games (one at IBA) to finish out the non-conf, and it's not a crazy pipe dream that this team could be ranked very, very high going into Valley play.

All that being said, we could drop a couple turds and never sniff the top 25 the rest of the year. No one expected this ranking, so we shouldn't take it for granted. Still, it's fun to dream...

I believe 10-0 would be the best start in wsu history

[wsushox1]

Before long (A K-State win at Gonzaga in Seattle) Kansas could have 3 ranked teams, which would be really cool.

Go Shockers!

I expected this before the season. Now that I've seen this team play I expect a lot more!

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

I believe 10-0 would be the best start in wsu history

Yeah, I think 9-0 is the best start (and I think we've done that twice), but correct me if I'm wrong.

[ShockerEngr]

WSU has started 9-0 three separate times

[all valley]

GO SHOX!

[newshock1234]

This is what happen when you start to build a program, this ranking is due to part of success last year. Last even if we got the same results, we wouldnt ranked right now, but now people know what this program is all about and that is all business!!

[Dave Stalwart]

9-0 is very reasonable to expect. 12-0 is possible as well given the remaining schedule. Anything beyond that I wont bother speculating

[ShockerFever]

Me thinks my definition of 'sniffing' is drastically different from yours. Let me rephrase so I can indulge Fever. We won't be in the AP or Coaches top 25 until we win at Tennessee. Better?

Me thinks you're wrong yet again and should probably not quit your day job doing predictions.

[ShockerPrez]

Keep rolling and winning.

Go Shox.
