Rankings going 1-1 this week

[Planter's Punch]

ESPN might use their power to keep us ranked. I doubt they want two unranked teams in their Saturday night showcase game.

It is nice to have the influence of ESPN, but it is like paying protection money to the mob

Others around us also split or worse. I don't see us dropping much if any.

15. West Virginia lost both (by 19 and 18)...so they'll drop.
16. Wichita State won both.
17. Maryland won one, play other today.
18. VCU split, but lost to a bad St. Bonaventure team.
19. Baylor won both.
20. Ohio State lost to Purdue, play other today.
21. Oklahoma won both.
22. Butler won both.
23. SMU split.
24. Georgetown lost both.
25. Texas split.
---- (huge drop off in points after TX)
26. Texas A&M split.
27. Seton Hall lost both.
28. Arkansas won both by 20.
29. San Diego State won one, play other today.
30. Indiana split.
31. Colorado State split.
32. Dayton split.
33. Xavier split.
34. Tulsa split.
35. Stephen F Austin won one.

Don't really see us dropping at all, with or without ESPN's help.

Considering that if Ohio St loses theres the slightest chance we surpass WV or OSU? Could be jumped by Ark though

I see us at 25. I feel that is fair.

23, 24, or 25 this week

RPI and Kenpom are usually the most accurate poll predictors.
#24 sounds reasonable.

It will be interesting to see how voters view the AAC, is Cinci still a good team to lose too, and is Tulsa a solid win.

Yes and yes.
