So last week these were our voters:
23: Jerry Carino, Tod Palmer
25: Christian Caple, Jon Nyatawa
If Seth Davis and Borges have voted for us, that's two new voters.

Carino has us unranked this week, which is odd if he had us at #23 last week. It will be close if we get in this week. I guess we will find out around noon.

- TCU was getting more votes but lost twice this week @ Tech and vs. #6 Baylor.
Even though TCU lost twice last week, they still have a higher RPI than SMU (TCU #29, SMU #33) and was an article in the DMN today putting them solidly in the Big Dance field. It was pointed out that they have no bad losses and have played some really highly ranked teams, hence the solid RPI.
Even though I feel the froggies are overrated, it helps our case if they keep having success.
I would predict #28 this week.

South Carolina should be out and we should move in at 25. Unfortunately I expect Kansas State to move back in and we come up short.

Makes zero sense. Just like that writer that moved TCU up multiple spots after we crushed them. Half these guys don't watch the games

Seemed to work last year when we bugged the votors...
Jerry -
Love to follow your balloting - as you have such a pulse on the Northeast corridor of Basketball. But wanted to point out one odd note in your latest ballot:
Last week you had a 15-4 SMU team at #23 and this week they are 17-4 and unranked in your ballot.
SMU beat UConn by 20 and Houston by 21 this past week - both teams predicted to be in the top of the American conference standings at the beginning of the year.
I know UConn is down this year, but SMU was up by over 20 at the half and started playing reserves and walk-ons in the second half. SMU was up 27 on Houston and essentially held onto the ball for the last 5 min of the game.
Not sure what you expected out of the Mustangs to keep them in your ballot.

He found out the LB was at the game and penalized us.
