AP Rankings - 1/18/16

Post by sjackson »

Top 10 losses this week:

1. Kansas - 1L
3. Maryland - 1L
4. Michigan St - 2L's (including vs. Wisconsin today)
8. Miami - 2L's
9. Duke - 2L's

After holding serve @ Tulane today, we are poised to move up in the polls tomorrow. We won't likely pass Kansas or Maryland, but it would seem MSU, Miami, and Duke would all drop out of the Top 10, with 2L's each this week.

So...here's (hopefully) looking at the 7 slot tomorrow afternoon...6, if we are lucky (if Maryland drops to 7).

My guess:

1. OU
2. UNC
3. Villanova
4. KU
5. Xavier
6. Maryland
7. SMU
8. West Va
9. UVA
10. ATM

This. Some voters won't vote for SMU, which is going to hold us back. WVA will hop over SMU and KU falls 1 or 2 at most.
Pony up!

Which voters will not vote for SMU and why did they all vote for us last week?

We have jumped 5 spots in one week recently.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
