Monday's rankings

[gtcam]

There is no freaking way Kentucky and MSU should be ranked ahead of us, they both have more losses and Kentucky has only beaten one ranked team.

ku getting smoked by south Carolina in 2nd half-that team is a joke

The NCAA does not do the polls.......

The statement still holds true!

Memphis was a 7 point fav at Houston, we were a 6.5 point fav vs SMU at home.....

You ignore the fact two games were played in those weeks, we beat Temple in one, they beat Lville in theirs. Are these equal?

And people on this site bemoan the houston loss, and people on this site do not vote in the AP poll. Weren't you also so upset with the fact that UVA was ranked ahead of us a few weeks ago??

Yep, you're out of your mind.

Where should we be ranked on Monday. It's kind of a joke we aren't ranked this week but I think we move up to around #17. Our resume got a lot better today, we have now beaten #1 Florida, #11 Cincy and Memphis twice. 5 ranked AAC teams come Monday.

Given all the upsets I am betting we come in at 25 - taking Texas place. Otherwise they probably won't make too many moves!

Our RPI is 27, our Sagarin is 21, I think we go to 20 in the AP to make up for unfairly dropping us last week.

Except the NCAA doesn't decide rankings, the coaches and sportswriters do. My guess: 21.

I'll go with #23.

Well, I think it is fairly obvious that we deserve to jump Texas, Iowa, Michigan State, and Kentucky. I'd say there's a good chance our win over Cincinnati vaults us past New Mexico, too.

As far as Memphis is concerned, I agree with upstater - there is absolutely no conceivable measure that would indicate Memphis deserves to be ranked ahead of us. Our RPI is better by about seven spots, our BPI is better by almost twenty spots, we beat them head-to-head twice, and they have one more loss than us against a very comparable schedule. For whatever they gained from beating Louisville, they should lose and then some from losing to Houston. That's the way it worked with us, it should work that way for them, too.

If Ohio State wins over Indiana, we're #20. If they lose, #19.

Upsets and losses are exactly what causes movement. You win two games, one on the road and one against #11, while other teams lose to unranked teams and sometimes twice, you move up.

We'll be 20th. Book it.

I don't care where Memphis is ranked as long as we stay in. (Simply to get our highlights on Sports Center)

Seth Davis' released his AP ballot:

11.Louisville
15. Cincy
16. SMU
17. UConn
19. Memphis

I'd take that in a second...
