AP rankings 1/29

Only 31 ballots cast this week in the Coaches Poll instead of the usual 32. Looks like someone who voted for us last week didn't submit a ballot as we have one fewer 1st place vote this week.

Parrish is still holding onto his "resume" argument. He may as well not even watch the games with that approach.

I think we have the better resume. We have best win and they have the worst loss. Do they have a Q1 road win yet?
 
Top 5 feels right

Houston gained a #1 vote from last week. Weird

Wisconsin up 7 spots and Duke/Marquette up 5, but seems to be more of everybody else losing instead of them having huge wins

Iowa St up 11 spots, good for them

Creighton back into the top 15!

Is New Mexico legit? I’ll have to check them out

Memphis out, and out far. They’re 3rd out but they got 48 votes while #25 has 215
 
Duke moves up 5 spots with a 1 point win at home win. I am just going from the eyeball test, but that is not a top 10 team, but it seems to be a pretty even field in the 5-15 ranking range and the ranking just depends on who loses during the week. There is huge separation between the top 4 (UConn, Purdue, Houston, UNC) and the rest of the field.
 
I got into an argument with another teacher in the lounge today because he said we were overrated and were gonna lose to SJ on Saturday. When he said "overrated" I lost it and obliterated him then he left the room. Everybody else was laughing.

Well, in the coaches poll, someone has Wisconsin unranked, so they have that going for them.

Wait…I didn’t even look, you’re telling me Duke moved up 5 spots?

They look … not good. Should have definitely lost to Clemson.

That guy is an idiot. Send him a link to the Xavier game.

He did the same thing with Michigan in football all year long. He kept blaming their schedule instead of watching the games. Hope it turns out as well for us as it did for Michigan.

The problem is everyone else has worse losses. Kentucky, Arizona, etc.

Really only Marquette has a justification to be ahead of them.

We have to beat Providence at home and SJU in the Mecca this week to hold onto #1.

Plus, winning those games is another 'hurdle' for the team sway the, "I'm just not convinced" crowd.

Xavier could have been a fluke.
Xavier has key guys out.
Xavier isn't that good.

Only played one game last week. They could have lost a second one.

Let's see how they do against the Providence that beat Ed Cooley at home last Saturday.

Pitino, Pitino, Pitino.

Ross didn't make a 3.
Karaban shot under 50%.
Outrebounded on the offensive glass

I should count all of those posting about our current ranking who two weeks ago said it was not important and meant little. Then when on to say it is not even worthy of a thread. Well will you look at us now.

Duke at 7 with their weak ACC schedule is a joke. But they’ll remain in Top 10 as they’ll continue to pile up wins with NC as their only formidable opponent.

It really makes no sense. Look at Duke and Kansas, Duke is 1 spot ahead. They have the same record and Kansas has played 6 ranked teams and Duke has only played 2....... So same record and 1 team has played 6 elite opponents and the other has only played 2, someone please try to make it make sense
