2017-18 National Rankings

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

99% certainty that WSU will move up from #22 to #20.

More importantly, a ton of teams in the potential 4-11 seed range loss today, so WSU’s relative stock increased significantly.

**** SETH DAVIS

[Shocker Mama]

And the horse he rode in on.

[WSUwatcher]

Goodness, Mama -- who knew you talked like that?

Meanwhile, second the motion -- Davis is a long-established skeptic, and it looks like nothing has changed. He's almost Palm-like.

[ShockTalk]

Hard to justify a lot on that ballot. Nova at home loses to St John's and stays #1 and VA at home loses to VaTech and is #2? Nevada at home loses to UNLV and is at #19. Cincy wins 2 games and drops 2 spots in the top 10. WSU wins 2 games and drops all the way out while aTm and Alabama rise from the dead and get in. aTm wins 4 in a row after losing 7 of 9. Alabama has loses to UCF, Minnesota, Vandy, Georgia, and Texas.

But they beat OU so that justifies being ahead of WSU. It's all about the wins.

[AZ Shocker]

I suppose he no longer thinks the step up in competition is valid. Wow....that certainly suprises me because most every other college basketball writer is and has made a point to state that Wichita is no longer in the MVC and the competition is much more difficult. And yet here we are at 19-5 with really no "bad" losses. Weird logic...but whatever Seth.

[ShockerFever]

CBS seems to like to employ the biggest know-nothings in college basketball.

Chris Dachille has WSU #15, up from #18 last week

Wow, and Cincy at #2.

[WuShock Reaper]

I'll say the Shockers hit #19 (+/-1) in the AP Poll.

Go Shockers!!!

#19 - WICHITA STATE SHOCKERS (19-5) Last Week: 22
Is anyone truly sold on Wichita State yet? The Shockers are the newest addition to the American Athletic Conference and could prove themselves with a win against Cincinnati, and they will get a chance to do that this weekend and again to end the regular season. The Shockers had no problem beating Memphis on the road and then Connecticut at home.

#4 - CINCINNATI BEARCATS (23-2) Last Week: 6
Cincinnati is dominating the American Athletic Conference this season, but they have yet to really beat a quality opponent. In fact, their best win this season has been at UCLA and the Bruins aren’t exactly setting the world on fire. The Bearcats blew the doors off a mediocre Central Florida team and then a decent SMU team on Sunday. They’ll likely jump a couple of spots.

Memo to AP Voters:
Everybody...please don't forget to notch down the Wichita St. Shockers a few spots for WINNING games last week.

[Play Angry]

Elton Alexander has us at 21 this week - down from 18 last week :/

Jerry Carino has us at 20 this week - same as last week

Whoever wins between us or Cincy will get a good bump. We both need to prove ourselves.
