I realize everyone has seen this but as an ASU fan indulge me while I put it in print.
Of course I have a number of questions. Has there ever been a case where a team unranked re-entered the rankings as high as 18th if so who and when.
What does this actually say? This is rhetorical of course and I suspect the answer is somewhere in between all these questions.
1. Did ASU improve that much in one week?
2. Were the teams ahead of ASU that overrated or over ranked or did they all fall apart?
3.is it possible to people doing the rankings are having trouble with focus after they get beyond the top 10?
4.Should the criteria that the voters use to rank these teams be reconsidered? As previously indicated in preseason and the first week of the year ASU was ranked.
5.. The bolded sentence below is true. Or is there any disagreement about it?
"Arizona State had one of the greatest weekends in Division I history, knocking off then-No. 2 Oregon on Friday and No. 3 Oregon State on Sunday. It's the first time a team has beaten two AP top-five teams in back-to-back games during the regular season since 2010, when Stanford topped No. 4 Xavier and No. 1 UConn.
"We have a lot of great teams, including us, in our conference," Arizona State coach Charli Turner Thorne said. "Clearly, we were young and injured early, but we've gotten healthy."
The Sun Devils vaulted into the Top 25 this week at No. 18."
