Poll Watch, 2012-13 Edition

[ShockerFever]

Wow, moved up in front of Okie State after a win over Northern Colorado. That's some respect.

The Coaches' Poll seems to get less meaningful each and every year. It used to be the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll, but I think that has been dropped. I know for a fact that ESPN now uses the AP poll for their rankings and bottom line. The Coaches' Poll has been rendered useless.

Does anybody know how Coaches Ben Jacobsen at Northern Iowa or Shaka Smart at Virginia Commonwealth voted in today's poll?

[martymoose]

Wooooo #23! A win at Tennessee should move us up to 18 or 19

You usually only move up when other teams lose...just a win on
our part won't do much.

Wow Fever, are you losing your edge on taking a shot?

Apparently pollsters see this: NOCO > SWOMO!!

Unless we pile it on come Thursday, you're right.

Moved up to #23 in the AP, flopping spots with Ok. St.

Scuse me - did you say we are flopping? Really?

Solid pub, although Cold will hate the article's title.

I don't like the name change.

I also love the pub but wow, they are really pushing the whole mid major label down our throats... It makes us sound like we are a small school with a small budget that is lucky to be winning games against bcs level teams

Ouch (in a very high voice)!!

We also were dubbed as a "premier" team in reference to a game against Louisville. I think there's more good than bad with the article. When we start a streak of 7 or 8 consecutive NCAA's, then we can start b*tching more about the meaningless "label".

[DUShock]

I don't believe our Shocks are on Creighton's level either as we will be above them when the 2012-13 season is complete.

Go Shocks!
