Cu Bluejays come in at #31. Picked to finish 3rd in new big East conference and to make the ncaa tourney.

Not that it matters too much, but Notre Dame came in at #31...Creighton is #30

This will be the highest preseason ranking Creighton will attain in a very long time, maybe ever.

Weren't they preseason No. 17 last year?

Weren't they preseason No. 17 last year?

At least in some publications. Not sure about the AP.

[SirShoxAlot]

Just looked it up. They were No. 16 (AP) and 15 (USA Today) preseason.

Would post a link, but I'm on my cell phone.

Who cares?

[SirShoxAlot]

We're having a conversation about basketball rankings on a basketball forum. Sorry about that.

Not that Doc needs defending about ANYTHING that he says, but I think Doc was just saying that the discussion was about Creighton and why should we care.

Boise St, Stanford and Villanova take the next 3 spots (#29, #28 and #27).

[SirShoxAlot]

Not to be defensive, but Fever made a point to which I respectfully made a counter-point. My point was then, again, respectfully questioned on its validity and I backed it up with facts. I had no intentions of making any more posts about Creighton. Now we're here still talking about them. Doc, I will continue to look forward to your posts. Now I'm going to do what I intended after my last post and move on.

They named Virginia #26 today. That means the Shockers are guaranteed to be in their top 25!

Shocker opponent Alabama comes in at #23.

That seems a bit high, but that's good for us.

Future Shocker opponent St. Louis comes in at #21. They are also projected to finish second in the A-10 and make the ncaa tourney as a 6 seed. This also means they place the Shockers in the top 20.
