Poll Watch (2013-14 Edition)

We might need a favor from Tad Boyle if we want to move up 2 spots. Oregon probably jumps us with a road win @ #20 Colorado this afternoon.

I have faith in Tad

[pogo]

I'm pretty sure Tad dislikes Diana as much as the rest of us.

Uhoh. KU losing fight now. If they do lose again, there are some on here who would say, no worries, they deserve to be ranked #16 or high her because they are KU. They shouldn't drop and they be ranked according to their record. They have a lot of talent and they have a great SOS so leave them there. LOL

[wsushox1]

KU has lost to every decently good team they have played this year except for Duke. That's it, and the jury is up in regards to Duke being decently good.

I wouldn't rank 'em.

[shockmonster]

I don't have a problem with them being ranked 20-25 or something but they'd ranking shouldn't be just because they are KU and have the most talented recruiting class in America.

Wichita St. poised to move to #5 and/or#6 this week. Way to go Shockers!!! 15-0!!! Yeah Baby!!!
As for the other program who has been overrated all season..."receiving votes" isn't too shabby either. Lol

[Shock Top]

Seth Davis has the Shox at #7. Has Florida jumping them.

What about struggling to beat Richmond at home merited Florida jumping us exactly?

I'm going with #6 in the AP and #6 in the Coaches. Kansas and Carolina sayonara to the "others receiving votes" status and Kansas St. getting ranked. Colorado and San Diego St. jumping a bunch.

I have some concerns after seeing his ballot but it is not with FL. Seth had FL rated ahead of WSU last week too. I can't imagine FL making big gains on most AP ballots this week after their weak showing over Richmond. Seth did have WSU at #8 last week, so he did improve the Shocks one spot this week. Unfortunately he had Baylor at #14 last week, so he improved Baylor 4 spots on his ballot. I am far more worried about Baylor jumping WSU than FL. He also improved Villanova 4 spots. Both Baylor and Villanova could jump WSU if several others give them a similar kind of bump.

Id start to look out for SDSU too. Their resume just got really strong. I think their only loss is to #1 Arizona

[ABC]

KU is just SDSU's 2nd top 100 win. I was a bit surprised. Two wins over 300+ rpis

Take away jersey names. Beating KU is not a resume-maker this year.

As of now SDSU just picked up an away Top-1 RPI victory. So their record isn't good, but the stats still love KU.

I don't care how unimpressed with the team you are, winning a game in Allen Fieldhouse warrants well-deserved attention.
