Poll Watch (2013-14 Edition)

Here's something interesting. For all the grief KU fans give us for not playing a tough schedule, the only victory they have over a currently ranked opponent is a neutral site win over currently #23 Duke.

We have a win at currently #24 St. Louis.

They also have #25t Oklahoma on the road, but I expect them to disappear from the rankings very soon.

If you are going to count it this way, then I think they have two... Duke and OU... splitting hairs...

Oh man. Didn't notice OU popped into the rankings.

KU fans talking trash on Wichita State for our schedule when their program will not step up and play is an embarrassment to themselves.

Hypothetical question: what do you think WSU would have been ranked had we lost in overtime? What about if the last 12 minutes were a wash and we lost by 19?

No sense in thinking about impossible contingencies, there was "NEVER A DOUBT"

What if the Shocks had caught a break in Maui at the UConn game, might we have made several more Final 4's?

[MadaboutWu]

Thought it was an interesting way to frame the question of how much we are likely to fall after our first loss if and when it comes. I think we are almost passed the point where we will be punished with like 6-7 places given there are not aggravating circumstances.

I know SWMoSt. record is 12-4 but too bad they lost to Loyola. I wonder had they only had 3 losses on the season and came within a whisper of upsetting #6 Wichita St. if they would've been rewarded of "others receiving votes"???? I notice when the BCS schools do that same thing of almost upsetting a top-ranked team...they sometimes get rewarded for it. Lol

Missouri St. does not have a win against a Top 100 team. They aren't even close to the voting right now.

I realize that...it's just I'm sick of some other Top-25 school fans saying...but look who we lost to? That's why were still ranked. Lol

[DUShock]

No worries @MadaboutWu: I like to speculate. I do believe that we will take a disproportional fall in the polls when a loss occurs than our BCS counterparts.

Go Shocks!
