Back in the AP Rankings

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

Seems like once we're in we go right back out.

If that's the case I'd just rather stay out and only be ranked in the other poll!

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

Of course I realize we won't be ranked in the other poll either as of last night.

Fell 3 spots in the AP to 28. If we fall 3 in the ESPN too that would keep us in at 25.

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

so, we fell like 6 spots in the AP when losing on the road to bradley, but only fall 3 spots losing to E'ville? Makes a lot of sense.

That would be nice if we could hang on in the ESPN poll again. I think its been around 5 or 6 weeks hasn't it?

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

We got a litte lucky last week. 21,23,24, 27 all lost.
People always say that the rankings don't matter and they are right..they really don't. But it is nice to stay in the ESPN poll because our coverage on ESPN is so much more.

26th in ESPN. 3 points/votes behind Texas.

What does Texas have to do to fall out? They have lost 7 out of 12.

Not be named Texas.

Well, now we have to win the tournament to get back in the top 25 and back on everyone's TV.

Perhaps because the performance of other teams also affects the polls.

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

Honestly, how does Texas stay in the rankings? I am not saying UNI should still should be in 25. Texas basketball is imploding before our eyes.


The last two scheduled games are against Baylor & OK, teams Texas has already lost to earlier in the season. 5-7 since the start of the losing streak. If they lose those two games, they are at that point 22-9 going into Big 12 tourney.

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

I think if we win in STL we get back in the top 24.

It sums up like this. If we win in STL we should be a lock for a 5-6, if we lose first or second round we are playing the 8/9 game, if we lose in the semi's we will be a 7. Just my thoughts.

Re: Back in the AP Rankings

Jeg - the second round is the semis. Or, we can't lose in the first round because we don't play, take your pick.

If they lose both games this week, they will be out for sure.
