We will be there next week. I foresee lots of top 10 teams taking losses this week, starting tonight. UNC and Baylor (not top 10, but close enough) lose tonight.
Care to rethink that?
UNC and Baylor will still lose tonight. But unfortunately it won't matter for us now.

If we win out (very hard) we might crack top 10 once more.

Just hoping we don't lose 2 or 3 more games this season.

The only thing I care about is winning the conference title. If we're ranked along the way, great. But they don't make banners for AP rankings.

Last time I checked, we've still lost one fewer game than everyone that is chasing us. Goal remains the same: go unbeaten at Moody and win the regular season title. As someone predicted earlier, 4 losses may get that done. Probable road losses at UConn and Cincy still remain on the schedule

highly unlikely and quite frankly, this doesn't look like a top 10 team right now. Need a convincing win at USF to make sure voters don't drop us out of their top 25

2 or 3, may be best case scenario.

Undefeated at home and probable road losses to Cincinnati and UConn.

Lucky if we stay at 15-16. Houston was horrible today and SMU's win was expected, in terms of voters. We lose 3-4 spots.

Bozich always has an interesting comment about us:

15. SMU – Yes, it bothers me to put a team that lost to Houston this high in the rankings, but nobody in the bottom 11 spots is Tom Brady or Gisele Bundchen.

On a side note - too bad we don't play some of the teams that we played last year (UVA, Indiana) to see where we really stack up. Gonzaga was supposed to be that game, but unfortunately winning that one won't really do much for us. Would be nice to see the Zags and Michigan to get on a roll after this weekend.
