SMU #23 in AP Poll

[Junior]

We should get into top 25 on coaches poll too.

I agree.

probably not. We were ranked ~30th in that poll. Not sure we could jump 5 spots.

Anyone know what the Coaches Poll generally includes obscure universities?

Top ranked team in Texas

Look at Stephen F. at 29. Good for them

[The PonyGrad]

Top ranked team in Texas

[ojaipony]

We're ahead of Texas. I'll take it.

We're ahead of Texas. I'll take it.

Dangerous territory for SMU.

UConn now 0-4 against top three teams in the AAC.

[Pony ^]

Pretty amazing to me that Memphis is still ranked higher than us and UCONN. We beat the [deleted] out of them and UCONN swept them. UCONN also beat the number 1 team…

Also, St Louis….what's that about? Have they even played anybody? They beat Rhode Island by 1 point. A team we beat by 30…

I hope we are placed in the same bracket as Wichita St when they are gifted a 1 seed.

Memphis didn't lose to Temple and USF. Some of you seem to forget that these things matter.... Those are two garbage losses.

The top 5 in the AAC have lost a total of 3 games to the bottom 5 and SMU has 2 of those. The other was UConn losing to Houston.

That's pretty bad. I've very very happy to be at 23

Yeah, but not TOO much ahead of them. Now, if we get Myles Turner from them, the investigation starts the next day (why I'd rather just not get him . . . just not worth the headaches/baggage).

[ojaipony]

Keep climbing Louisville. Can they crack the top 5 by the time we play them? (I'm about to look over the schedules).
