AP Poll 11/13

Voters will overreact to Arizona beating an atrocious Duke team and put them in the top 3. My guess is:

That Duke win is by far the best win for anyone in the season so far. Duke is going to be Top 10 all year—and they'll deserve that ranking.

That said, I don't think Arizona is going to jump any of the undefeated Top 4. The media had a narrative that there were 6 elite teams (Duke, Kansas, UConn, Purdue, Michigan State, Marquette) and then everyone else. Two of those "elite teams" have lost. Arizona probably jumps to 5-6 and Duke falls to 6-8.
 
Prediction:

1 Kansas
2 Purdue
3 Arizona
4 Marquette
5 UConn
6 Houston
7 Creighton
8 Duke
9 Tennessee
10 FAU
 
Not sure the basis for saying they‘ll “deserve the ranking” based on the eye test thus far… let’s assume they fall to the 6-8 range like you’re saying… if they lose to Michigan St. this week (and bookmakers via the moneyline will have the implied probability of that happening at around 35-40% I’m guessing) in the Champions [Of Social Media] Classic you can forget “Top 10 all year“ as they’ll be gone from the Top 10 the following Monday given MSU will no longer be coming into that game with their lofty ranking after having lost to JMU… if you think that 35-40% implied probability is actually 0% thus guaranteeing Duke remains in the Top 10 for another week (which is necessary for the whole year prophesy to come true) then by all means hammer the Duke money line!
 
No anti UConn agenda at all…..

Could you imagine if we were one of their darlings? No other blue blood with this roster would get treated with such disrespect

What exactly did you see from Duke that gives you the confidence that they're going to be a Top 10 team all season? We would beat them by 20 if we played them right now. They looked horrible on offense and have zero interior defense

Come on. They’re Duke bro.

In all seriousness, I’ve been hearing the BS that they have to most talented roster all off season. It was complete bologna then and is even more so now. It’s annoying

Saw the name on the chest... It’s the only reason they are ranked as high as they are.

They can’t shoot and their defense is suspect at best.
 
Reddit user poll kept UConn at 4 and jumped Arizona into top 3. They'll likely have a similar jump in AP.
