AP Poll - Week 15

[UCLJ0211]

What are we thinking Boneyarders? I’m guessing we stay around where we were last week. We had a great win followed by a “good loss” on paper (one possession loss to a top 25 team on their home court.) Hopefully the voters put more weight into the Marquette win and maybe we can crack the top 20 again?

Stay where we are

19. We blasted a Top 10 Marquette team, and lost on the road to a ranked team by a big toe. I think that moves us up a couple spots

Well Indiana moved up with a loss at an unranked team and by beating Purdue. Now Marquette isn't Purdue (though that game early in the year was pretty close) but I'd take Creighton now over Maryland.

We will move ahead of Providence, TCU, St Mary's, but probably get jumped by Creighton. So I'll say 19. Outside chance we pass Iowa State, but not sure they'll fall enough even with 2 losses to unranked teams

We jump TCU and PC.
Creighton jumps us.
Nets out as 20.

I second the motion. Close road losses to top-25 teams doesn't really push you down; destroying a top-10 team does.

Example #1: Seth Davis moved us from unranked to #13 on his ballot this week

 

[HooperScooper]

Dave Borges of the Register moved UConn from unranked to 25.

We don't usually add a team coming off a loss to our weekly AP Top 25 ballot, but we had to think long and hard about adding the UConn men's basketball team for the first time in three weeks.

The question: Is a 15-point home win over the No. 10 team in the country and a three-point road loss at one of the hottest teams in the country enough to re-introduce the Huskies on our ballot?

The answer: Yes. While road wins are what we value most, and the Huskies haven't really had a great one this season, it's hard to deny home wins over Marquette, Creighton and Oklahoma State and neutral-court wins over Iowa State and Alabama.

David Borges: Does UConn men's basketball team return to our Top 25 ballot this week?

There's a new No. 1 on our ballot this week — a team that lost to UConn earlier this season.

I thought it was a mistake when I saw that on the athletic. We're going to be all over the map. There's ballots out there that don't even have us ranked lol

[Storrs South]

Borges, Carino, and Davis didn't have UConn in their polls last week. This week they have them at 25, 15, and 13 respectively this week. Brown had UConn at 21 last week, now 19. They could really move up more than we think.

 

[UofCT]

If we win out or even 4-1 down the stretch we will go into the BET as a top 10 team. Everyone is losing and our schedule is opening up.

 

[REB1094]

Probably somewhere 18-20. Last week was a 1-1 week, where the 1 win was an absolute thrashing of #10 and the 1 loss was a 3 point road loss to #23

Definitely moving up from that week. Take care of business against Seton Hall this weekend and we’ll probably be closer to 15 than 20 for our PC and SJU rematches

 

[Tenspro2002]

Treading water or moving up slightly. #19.

 

[RayRay]

There it is. We moved up 1 spot to #20.

20% of the Top 25 is Big East. A league with less members, therefore opportunities, than the P5 except for the Big 12.

Seth Davis is funny. There’s gonna be no hate towards him from us this week, that’s for sure.

And all five grouped within 13 spots. BET should be fun.

We also beat a top 10 team in the same week. Isn’t about luck.

 

[AntG168]

1 spot is a bit light after dominating a top 10 team. But we’ve built this bed

 

[Incursio007]

Marquette only dropped one spot after that beat down?
