AP Poll - Week 17

[karstenkibbe]

Borges voted the good guys at 23 last week. This week, while basically stating that metrics are trash, he has UConn at 15. Marquette 6, Xavier 14 and Providence 20.

Following yet another crazy week, the Huskies' home dominance over Providence and road win at St. John's helps them move up several spots.

Putting Xavier ahead of UConn with that nonsense argument is special reasoning.

Maybe Syracuse should give their 2003 championship to UConn after getting handled 3x by UConn.

And UConn should give their 2011 championship to Louisville after getting blown out by them a couple times.

My bet is 14

2014?

 

[Phoenixhusky]

14 my guess to.

 

[uconngb]

All I care about is where we get seeded. These polls are absolute nonsense.

 

[YoungFree]

I have been thinking 15 all weekend but will agree 14 is also a possibility

 

[Tyler2Rings]

UConn #13 in BracketMatrix FWIW

 

[navery12]

I'll stick with my guess of 15. Pass Miami, Xavier, St Mary's

Should hopefully jump Virginia and Indiana too. Maybe Tennessee

I agree with you, in theory. Of course, the reveal of the first 16 seemed to correlate a lot more with the AP poll than with NET, so I don’t know what to think anymore.

I can see Tennessee. Indiana probably moves up since they beat Purdue on the road.

I think that's pretty aggressive to jump Virginia though, we were almost 800 points behind them. I know they lost twice but that would be a pretty massive fall. Not apples to apples since one loss was to a ranked Marquette, but we were #6 before our 0-2 week and we dropped 538 points in the polls. I guess we could gain enough points that it happens though

13 or 14

 

[GHSWolverines]

15 - 16

 

[ninety-nine]

They're up to #9 today in the Massey College Basketball Ranking Composite, with an NCAA NET of 8. After last week's wins it wouldn't surprise me to see them jump into the 12-13 range, but I think just enough voters will go low to keep them around 15.

 

[UConNick]

Seth has the good guys at 12.

Marquette 8, Creighton 18, Xavier 21, PC 23 for the Big East teams. All seems fine to me.

He’s also got Kentucky back in at 24.

Dropped Tennessee down to 25(!) from 13 in his rankings last week and Virginia all the way out (!!!!) from 10.

 

[aburks41]

Davis: 12
Borges: 15
Carino: 12
Berman: 13
Rothstein: 14

Off to a good start

I do too, except that the Committee basically deferred to the polls on their first top 16 bracket reveal. That's why this matters (beyond the usual factors of buzz, eyeballs, recruiting, etc.).

Davis: 12
Borges: 15

Berman: 13
Rothstein: 14

Bozich: 15

 

[Umami Zen]

13

 

[Captbluefin]

In spite of early reports I think 16. The big jump will be after we BEAT Nova

 

[ElGreco]

My bet is 14

Same here-#14.

 

[Palatine]

16

 

[scdono]

13-15
