What Oregon State is doing right now to throw this game away is epic

UCLA loses, Or State aided by a very questionable charge call down the stretch that helped them seal it

If I were a pollster I would cut OSU, Wisky, UMass and Pitt at the minimum. But I'm sure at least two will stay.

UMass and Ohio State are guarantees to fall out. And Virginia is a sure bet to pop in.

Oklahoma lost as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if they fell out from 23 despite having a quality win.
Memphis may fall out.
Pitt likely won't, but if they don't they'll be about 25.
Wisconsin probably won't fall out, but they'll drop a good deal.

Expect to see moves up by St. Louis, Creighton, and especially Texas.

UConn and Gonzaga will probably also appear. We'll probably be somewhere between 20-22.

We were pre season 14 in SI and we haven't lost many games to be out on the fringe the way we are.

So far, I've seen 3 AP ballots this morning with UConn not ranked. Look up Bozich's and Grammer's ballots. They don't have UConn on them.

Thanks to #21 UMass going 0-2 against unranked teams, we're just about a lock for the top 25.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Wisconsin and Ohio St.

#14 Wisconsin lost to Northwestern and 24th Ohio State both at home. That really should be enough for them to fall out having lost 5 out of their last 6 after winning their first 16, but they could land at 24 or 25. My bet is they fall out of the top 25. No matter, UConn jumps them (that's 24).

#24 Ohio St lost to Penn State at home and then beat the free falling Badgers. Depending on what some of the teams just outside the top 25 did, they should also fall out. UConn should jump them too (that's 23).

#22 Memphis beats UCF and loses @ SMU. They fall to 24 or 25 and UConn should jump them (that's 22).

#17 Duke won @ Pitt and lost by 1 in OT @ Syracuse. They could move up. UConn will not jump them.

#16 Iowa St lost @ #6 Kansas and beat Oklahoma. They won't move much and UConn will not jump them.

#18 Pitt lost at home to Duke and play tomorrow at home vs. Virginia. If they win, they'll drop to 21ish. If they lose, they could fall out and we move up (that's 21).

So we should be #21 or more likely #22 on Monday. Makes for a good top 25 matchup with some hype vs Cincy.
Nice call! Virtually right on target!
