SMU AP #19

[SmooBoy]

Cincy falls to #18.

That is a bit of an unfair drop for Cinci. I think Vegas would make us a favorite against all but maybe 3 teams in the country at moody.

It is what it is. We are both ranked and within the Top 20. Hopefully if we win out and others in the Top 25 lose then we will gradually move up.

No way Cincy should drop that far. Just shows there is no room for error in the AAC

[Smulaw90]

RESPECT! Move up 6 is huge!

As for Cincy, I don't think they should drop so much, but here's the take. If they can only beat us at the buzzer at home, and we handled them well at Moody, are they really any better than us from an outsider's standpoint? To me, that's the justification for putting them next to SMU.

Either way, if we both take care of business here on out, we should both be nicely in the 12-15 range come AAC tournament time.

I can't argue too much with the polls except I think that the Zags are over-rated a place or two. I think that the top 25 is pretty evenly matched from top to bottom. Given relatively equal seeding in the NCAA tournament I see us having the tools to go further than Cincy. I don't see Cincy going into the second week if they have to put as much reliance on long range shooting as they do against the better teams.

We all need to put these two jackwagons on blast: Tyson Alger and Patrick Murray. A #25 team beats #11 team (no overtime, and greater than by 5 points) should be auto lost of AP voting rights. Tyson kept Cincy at #12. Patrick has Cincy at #15. Did they pretend yesterday didn't exist?

Add-on: Majority of voters have us in the 18-21 range. That tells you something...

This and already tweeted at them! #joke

A bit higher than I would have thought for us but then there were plenty of folks that lost this week. Cincy certainly didn't deserve to drop like that. Losing to a top 25 team in one of the most intimidating environments in college basketball isn't a reason to drop cinch like this.

No respect for our conference. Even if we won out the regular season and won the conference tournament, doubt we get any higher than a 5-seed.

Agreed that that's our absolute peak. My guess is that we end up as a 7 seed.

I think Cincy's perception was also hurt when the committee didn't list them as one of the top 4 seeds

[MFFL02]

Hopefully we win out and Cincy wins out except for losing to us in the conference title game. Probably the only way to avoid a 1, 2 or 3 seed in the first weekend of march madness.

[EastStang]

Or worse the dreaded play-in game.

....maybe the last 4.
