Think there is a case that could be made that we could land in the 19th spot or better. Coach Brown saying we did not play well probably does not help us with voters but I do believe this could happen. Tomorrow will be exciting waiting on the AP poll to come out.

19 sounds about right.

I have my fingers crossed that we'll get #18, but we should at least be 19. Chance at 17 .
We should jump 4 spots:
22 Ohio St -lost to Penn St (Indiana still on the schedule)
20 Iowa - lost to Minn and Indiana
18 Mich St - lost to Illinois
17 Kentucky - lost to Arkansas and So. Carolina
To put us at #19. Then,
10 St. Louis ought to drop far after two bad losses (Duquesne and VCU) for us to hit #18.
Then comes the shot that Creighton falls far enough after losing to Xavier...

Gary Parrish really hates our bad losses.

I hope we are somewhere in the teens

It's not fair, but much of it is a beauty pageant and there is insane East Coast bias. There's no justice or fairness, and those looking for it should begin self therapy as soon as possible. New kids don't catch a break.

Should we be? Yes. Will we be? I doubt it. Our bad losses are worse than ugly.

Given all the losses, 18 seems about right. I think SMU and ISU will be in the 17/18 spots.

Like I said I think we should be. I just have a feeling.
