Realistic jump in Top 25

Postby LA_Mustang » Sat Mar 01, 2014 9:13 pm

6 of the 8 ranked just above us (#15-#22) lost this week. Could we get as high as #17?

My prediction is move up four to nineteen...based on nothing scientific or factual. I just like the sound of it. Say it. "the nineteenth" ranked SMU Mustangs.". Has a nice ring to it.

#20 Iowa and #17 Kentucky both lost twice this week and Ohio St #22 lost. I don't see how they can put us below those three.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with Memphis. A bad loss and a HUGE win

Huge wins trump bad losses. They're moving up

this week…

#10 Saint Louis , two losses, one bad loss at home
#15 Iowa State, bad loss today to Illinois
#17 Kentucky, 2 bad losses
#18 Michigan State, lost twice
#20 Iowa loss
#21 Memphis, one bad loss, one great win
#22 Ohio State, one loss…

sooo.. SMU jumps Ohio St, Iowa, Michigan St, Kentucky, and maybe jumps Saint Louis, Iowa St, and or Memphis.

Yep, I am leaning toward #18 solidly, with #17 an outside chance.

I still bet somehow we end up 20 21... I don't think the voters are sold on SMU. It has been too long.
