Hard to argue that with loss to Houston, followed by Houston's loss to Tulsa. Going to take a 7-1 game run for us to see Top 10 again.

This, at this point I will take anything close to top 15. I thought for sure we were dropping out of the top 20.

Win the next two at home (no small feat) and we'll be knocking on the top ten door again.

If anyone is up for some Twitter fun, Waco writer and AP voter John Werner has us unranked this week. Two other voters also have us unranked. You talk about the ultimate lack of respect. A team that is 20-2 (11th in the RPI) and in a good conference?? I'll give the other two guys a little slack as they are in other parts of the country but for a guy 100 miles away covering Baylor to leave us off is a joke.

Note - he had us #13 last week.

This Werner guy is getting a lot of flack as his paper is trying to avoid printing anything about the rape stories at Baylor.

He is one of the few who are still ranking Baylor in top 25.

Dropping us out is absurd.

My post on the SJMN directed at Jon Wilner....and yes, I've got too much time on my hands.

SMU (20-2) is unranked according to Jon Wilner
Record against RPI top 50: 3-1
Record against RPI top 100: 6-1
Best wins - Cincinnati, Michigan, Stanford, Colorado, Tulsa & Yale
A 3-point loss last week to Houston (RPI 105) drops SMU out of the top 25.

Wichita St (16-6) is ranked #20 according to Jon Wilner.
Record against RPI top 50: 1-3
Record against RPI top 100: 3-5
Best wins - Utah & Evansville
A 5-point loss last week to Illinois St (RPI 130) only drops Wichita St three spots to #20.

To be fair, they are 1-3 against the RPI top 50.

Good stuff LA, you should blast that at him. He will likely argue that WSU's losses came at a time when they were missing key people, but..
