Poll Watch (2013-14 Edition)

Finally ranked where I thought we should have started in the polls at the beginning of the season.

[Shox21]

Well, they can't say we don't have a top 25 win anymore!

Only if St. Louis holds ground or continues up. As long as the four above us keep winning, we are not going to jump anyone. And I can't imagine how far we fall with that first loss (if it comes). What I don't know is if we keep winning and those nipping at our heels keep winning, will one of them be put in ahead of us just based on SOS.

[AZ Shocker]

Ahhh - another neat addition to my signature!!!
Top 25 = 100 times
Top 5 = 20 Times

Congratulations Shockers!!!

[1979Shocker]

No technically about it...we did jump them. LOL

Yes, we jumped over them as they were falling.

Not crazy about the Shockers point total in the Coaches Poll.

[SHOCKvalue]

The margin between #5 WSU and #6 'Nova in the AP has become razor thin.

Not that I mind one bit being #5 at this particular point in time.

[shocktheheart]

Why we have a better margin between sixth in the Coaches than the AP?

[Steeleshocker]

Why we have a better margin between sixth in the Coaches than the AP?

Probably for the same reason that someone doesn't have Villanova or Iowa State on their ballot.

[Steeleshocker]

But Villanova only pays DePaul this week, so if we can win both of our games I doubt they gain on us.

[Shox151]

Pretty sure he means the number the total votes/pts count LOL "666"

[TheDover1018]

I believe that it was referencing that the point total is 666..

[DUShock]

But Villanova only pays DePaul this week, so if we can win both of our games I doubt they gain on us.

of course we can hope DePaul pulls off the upset.

Thinking about last year's run to the Final Four and than looking at this poll, I remembered Garrett Stutz's comment when he signed that WSU was going to be better than Kansas. He took a lot of flack for that comment in certain circles, and it took a little longer than he hoped, but given what the Shockers did last year (and so far this year) he is looking like a prophet. Here's to you Garrett.
