2016-17 National Rankings

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Clickable. Sagarin has Illinois State at #54. That's not in at-large territory or even close to it.

The cut will fall around #45. #54 would be about the 9th team out.

Given that Sagarin isn't used as a hard and fast selection tool, #54 is very much within the range of the typical bubble team.

I guess it all just depends how you look at it.

#18 Virginia lost at home to Miami last night.
That's their fourth quality loss in a row.
Wonder how many more they can sustain before we pass them by.

Virginia's offense really struggling. They have averaged a paltry 48 points per game over the last 3 games (including 1 OT period).

We can't.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

We can't.

Why can't WSU pass Virginia?

This Saturday, they play @NC State. KenPom gives NC State a 21% chance to win. If Virginia loses that one too, they will be out of the top 25 entirely.

Put new batteries in your meter Howard.

I wonder why nobody mentioned the losses of #23 CU and #24 Maryland on Wednesday. Superstition?

Notable talk about such in the games of interest thread.

[AZ Shocker]

Any news or thoughts of where we will move to this week?

[The Mad Hatter]

I think we should move up to #23 with the Maryland and Creighton losses, but I don't really see passing anyone else.

[Play Angry]

We'll pass Maryland, Creighton and maybe Wisconsin if they lose to Michigan State this afternoon. Iowa State will gain a ton of ground after squeaking out a road win @ meh Texas Tech and beating Baylor in Ames, but not enough to pass us.

We'll be #22 or 23 IMO.

[AZ Shocker]

I'll take it! Moving on up!!!

[DwShock]

Not on Seth Davis top 25 this week. Was last week.

[wushock27]

Yeah, he dropped all the non power 5 schools down, and put Michigan St, Michigan, and Miami in...

[Dave Stalwart]

Yeah something is going on in general. I wonder how much time we really have left before it goes from a conversation to a reality that the p-5 takes over and mid major becomes an "FCS" kind of thing

And if it is going to get really bad for mid majors, are we even safe in the AAC? I feel like the AAC and big east should be viewed at a higher level but who knows?

palm may not be off base at all. Maybe he knows something we don't. I don't like how the narrative sounds this year
