Top 10 Games - week of 01/10/16

[PonyKris89]

I just love hearing mention of SMU in non-SMU games. Last night Mike Tirico mentioned SMU "cleaning out" Michigan, and [deleted] Vitale said that SMU was the best team Michigan had played. Then later, as Michigan was leading in the closing minutes, Vitale said something like "How good must SMU be to beat this Michigan team by more than 20? Larry Brown sure knows how to coach. And I feel sorry for those kids Kennedy and Moore."

Cracks me up everytime I see [deleted] vitale's name censored !

I know we've talked about and i know its an inside joke but

I WANT THAT SHIRT

[sadderbudweiser]

Maybe we jump Miami and Duke but 11,12,13,14 and 15 are all hanging tough and winning. Any combo of those could jump us.

We gain little from road wins at ECU and (still gotta play it) Tulane this week.

If we can take care of biz through UH and Temple next week our stock will be on the rise again.

You can't ignore 20-0.

On Sat, gonna be a Ohio State, NC State, Georgetown, Georgia, Marquette, Clemson, Notre Dame, TCU, and Seton Hall fan. Who do we want to win between OU and WV?

WV

I'd rather OU win. A WV win will move them over us, but OU won't drop below us

That's what I was thinking. I think OU stays above us no matter what.

If WV just plays OU close they probably still pass us. They did already beat #1 this week.

That sounds like you are focused on this week only. In the long run an OU loss is better. We might get passed by WVU this week but it makes it more likely we pass OU in the future and WVU will lose at some point in the future.

The Michigan win over #3 Maryland probably did more than anything for our national rep. If Michigan, Stanford and Colorado continue to play well in conference it will only help us.

I think we can make top 5 through the attrition of other teams losing over the course of the next few weeks. It will be difficult for us to ever get to number 1 because of our strength of schedule and conference that we play in. Also agree that any loss we will have a pretty decent dive in the polls. If we get through January undefeated we will become one of the major major stories in college basketball which will be fun. Beat Tulane.

Top 5 if we beat UH and Temple, both games will be TOUGH, TOUGH. Might not seem to be so nationally, but those 2 teams will be no joke to beat. (I don't even want to THINK about getting beat AT Tulane so . . . ).

That was what I was thinking, just looking at the polls this week. I can see how the OU loss would help out in the long run.
