Any of the voters that leave us out do need a tweet or two. Tuesday will be big - but both teams should be in the T25 when they hit the court in Ft. Worth.

I think we will only be receiving votes personally.

Gary Parrish at CBS moved TCwho to #19 and USC is out of the top 25. I guess we are the destroyers of Top25.

SMU isn't a Top 25 team right now--and that's just fine

I would expect us to receive votes but not actually be ranked.

The main goal right now is to be 11-2 entering conference play.

Beat TCU on the Road and then we have a legitimate argument

TCU on the road will be extremely tough. If we pull that off, we deserve top 25. This team is young so itΓÇÖs hard to have the expectation we will win. Not saying we canΓÇÖt.

win the rest of our non-conference games and we might sneak into the top 25 but those 2 losses in the tourney really hurt our resume

Hurt our chances in a national popularity poll conducted by uninformed voters. DidnΓÇÖt hurt tournament resume and wonΓÇÖt hurt in coaches poll.

Tournament resume is about signature wins and avoiding bad losses. Arizona and USC should end up being signature wins and Northern Illinois and Western Kentucky should not end up being bad losses. Overall we are sitting pretty right now.

Amen! We need to take this team to the woodshed.

Would be good to beat them in fball next year also.
