2016-17 National Rankings

[1979Shocker]

Has to be ABSOLUTELY MADDENING to Redbird fans to receive less votes than us. This is their dream season, and WSU is in a "rebuilding" year....hilarious.

Illinois State hasn't built a resume over the last few years like Wichita State has.

Wait... wut? ISUr does academic smack talk? You're kidding, right?

The school with 70% less academic research funding, an endowment 60% smaller, all the while having the inherent advantages that come with 30% more students on campus?

Okie-dokie then, I guess.

You mean IllSt isn't where Fulbright scholars go? Oh, wait, that would be FullyLit...

8 votes in the AP, good for #29. Illinois State received 2 votes.

Aretha Franklin moment.

[Play Angry]

We were on 3 voters' ballots. Doug Doughty of the Roanoke (VA) Times had us the highest at #22

[60Shock]

Most pleasantly surprised. Now lets just win the next two games and return back to the top 25.

[SHOCKvalue]

Bump.

Eh?

[DwShock]

My hope would be we replace Creigton in the top 25

[WSUwatcher]

If pollsters pay attention either to Pomeroy -- now up to #16 overall in KenPom, and one of only 11 teams to be top 25 in AdjO and AdjD -- or to the eye test WSU passed with flying colors Saturday night, the Shocks should hop back in this week. And yes, the Jayboys are a likely dropout.

To have it happen at exactly the same time would be glorious. Only problem is you really can't rub it in given the circumstances. Just have to watch it unfold and let it be.

CU won at Butler midweek. I'll be pleasantly surprised if they drop out.

[Triticum aestivum L.]

Too lazy to check, anyone know what 25-28 did this week. Do we have an opening?

#25 Nothwestern lost on Wed.; #22 Creighton lost; #20 Notre Dame losing now. Lots of losses from team 1-10

[Play Angry]

It'll be pretty close but the optics of the stomping should help our cause considerably.

[Jhook89]

If I was a betting man, I would say we will be just on the outside of the top 25. I would guess a couple unranked teams will jump us in votes, since they secured top 10 upsets. A couple of other lower ranked teams may hold us off since they picked up decent wins.

Checking in at #25 on Chris Dachille's ballot (previously week did not have us ranked).
