With the big win yesterday... we're definitely holding our position in the rankings and depending on if we win on Saturday... you gotta think we're ranked ahead of both Ucon and Pitt next week.
Btw, Arkansas just took out #4 Oklahoma!!! #2 and #4 have gone down this week...let's hope we can add #3 to this list.

Actually, I think that, assuming we take down Pitt and after the way we destroyed UConn, there's a chance that it will be #3 Duke taking on #2 Gtown.
I don't think it's likely that we leapfrog Duke, but it's certainly more than possible.

I don't think it's likely that we leapfrog Duke, but it's certainly more than possible. If we get to Duke without losing (which is NOT likely), we will absolutely be ahead of them, since we will have beaten ND and SU as well. Heck, if we then beat Duke I'd be suprised if we weren't #1. |

Let's not get crazy...I can't see UNC taking a fall in the rankings if they don't lose, especially given the media love affair with them (deservedly so, as that's a damn good basketball team)

I dont think its crazy. We would have beaten 5 top 10 teams in 6 games. To not be number one would be impossible.

Let's walk first, huh? One game at a time, people, one game at a time. Pitt's on Sat. Let's think about them

omg. what are you guys doing??? lock this up FAST! Relax - just throwing out interesting hypotheticals. I think it is much more likely we go 3-3 over that stretch and are ranked about where we are now. |

Don't think #1 will happen unless UNC loses which is less likely than us. \ However, i am with Hoyaholic. If both teams (UNC and GU) go undefeated trough say Jan 21 (after UNC plays clemson), georgetown should be #1 (this is NOT going to happen, there are just too many tough games but lets have some fun). You have to look at it like the selection committee would- take away the name and look only at who they beat. GU will have beat: UMD, @memphis, @uconn, Pitt, @nd, Cuse, @duke, with a Neutral court loss to Tenn. UNC will have beat: Kentucky, ND, MSt., @wake, Miami, and Clemson (you can include @oregon, UVA and BC if you would like) and will have no losses. Even with One loss GU's resume is much better than UNC's. Additionally GU's SOS (as of now) is almost 30 points better than UNC's (74 to 102) Look this isnt going to happen because there are too many variables and games to be played. GU has too many weaknesses to make it through Jan. with out 2 to 4 losses. But it is fun to think about it. It also is going to happen because voters are stupid and wont drop UNC until they lose (even though losing may not mean they arent still #1, but that is a debate we already had). No one is Junxing the team by talking about it either so lay off and let some people have some fun. |

If we beat pitt we better move to #2 in the ESPN we won't in AP since we start out lower. but we should still move to the top 5 in the AP since Purdue, Oklahoma, Pitt, and Uconn will have lost ahead of us.

I actually concur. You can think about moving up all you want, but I'd rather not see blind joy of moving up x number of spots on this board. We should be like our team and not get ahead of ourselves. Continue to work hard and if the results in the rankings come great, if not it's out of our control.

Probably a good thing our loss came before the UNC-BC game tonight. Imagine how out of control this thread would have gotten if Carolina had already lost.
