AP Poll - Week 5

[ctchamps]

Looks like a worthless guarantee.

There is no lack of hubris in this forum. Guaranteed.

Early-season voters are willing to drop teams a lot after a loss, but defer to their original ranking until then. They're not going to drop Houston.

Houston is going to get a couple great chances to either justify that ranking or be brought back down to earth coming up. Alabama and Virginia coming up in the next two weeks for them.

Going to be rooting hard for Bama on Saturday! Leaves just enough time to get home from Gampel and get ready for the 3pm tip! Roll tide!

Creighton fell to 21. Xavier and Marquette got some votes

The big east officially runs through Storrs

UConn is solidly at 5. Kansas is over 150 points behind them at #6, and Purdue is over 100 points ahead at #4.

 

[MTBingNinja]

UConn #5 on this week’s AP!

 

[Umami Zen]

Let's take care of biz this week.. 2 more Ws heading into the next poll at 11-0.. Doable

Jordan Hawkins - Big East Weekly Honor Roll

Week 5 AP Votes -- Idols and Idiots
I'd say we were a solid No. 5

 

[Waquoit]

I love this guy

He's been an early adopter of UConn.

 

[Storrs South]

He's been an early adopter of UConn.

Which is funny because a lot of his tweets preseason he sounded skeptical of the Huskies but he was very quick to adjust once the games started

 

[Storrs South]

Could be the first time in what I guess is 16 years since MBB is ranked higher than WBB

 

[imno1]

Didn‘t realize Hubert Davis’s mom gets a vote but noticed UNC had 1 in the others receiving votes.

#5!!! But still have a 60% chance of losing Thursday. When we were #8 it was only 50%....

They have a 0% chance of losing Thursday.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Yeah, Houston is very overrated. They are a good defensive team, but limited on offense. Winning games by less than 10 points against crap teams while only scoring in the 50’s isn’t very impressive to me…

They play Alabama this weekend, which should be interesting

Sounds like a lot of the fan base.

Cause Sampson’s playing amiwrite!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Wild top ten for him. Duke at 6, Auburn at 7, and Baylor at 9 all ahead of UConn.

Could you imagine where we'd be without this piss poor OOC scheduling?! Shizzle wasn't willing to buy a Gampel ticket to watch his team. It's about November "events", not about building success to March or shizzle won't go.

Are you stealing Jon Rothstein's material?

 

[CTBasketball]

He's been an early adopter of UConn.

He’s a Providence-based reporter who mainly follows PC Hoops. He’s also very pro-Big East.

 

[g_smith]

This is the best part of the climb. Nobody rush this season! No one! We have a lot to be hopeful for.

Looks like a worthless guarantee.

I'm very happy to have been wrong. I'm glad the voters got that one right
