There was a lot of carnage in the top 25 this week. Looking at the AP poll: #3 Ohio State lost at home to Michigan State. #5 UNC lost at home to Duke. #6 Baylor lost to both Kansas and Missouri, both games by double digits. #8 Florida lost at Kentucky, and to Tennessee at home. #9 Murray State lost at home to Tennessee State. #12 HOYAS lost in overtime at Syracuse. #13 SDSU lost at UNLV. #15 Florida State lost at Boston College.  #16 St. Mary's lost at Gonzaga. #17 Creighton lost twice, to Evansville and Wichita State. #19 UVA lost to UNC. #20 Miss. State lost to UGA at home in overtime. #25 Harvard lost at Princeton. I think the Hoyas stay about where we are now. |

I think we move up to 10. No way are we behind Florida or Murray State. Maybe UNLV passes us and maybe Baylor drops behind us. We were 11/12 along with Mich State. They will rise with their impressive road victory over Ohio State.

It's ironic that we have more respect from the pollsters from a loss, but that's what will happen. I think we move up to 9...Baylor, Florida and Murray State will drop behind us

Regardless of where we end up, I like our spot. Not too high up so every game against us becomes huge, but not too low either. 8-14 is hopefully good for us. Also seems that every time we crack the top 10, we lose the following week and drop back to 15ish.

I'd be pretty happy with #10. Great place to be in mid-February.

Good for the team to start getting some much deserved recognition. Funny that with a loss it seems we are getting a lot more media attention.

I don't think that there is much difference etween 15 and 30 this year. Hopefully we get recognition at the end of March. We have had recognition before March but only once in the last decade at the end of March.

CBS Jeff Goodman's Top 25 and 1 has us slated as #10. Interesting he has us so high as we are usually ranked slightly lower in his poll than the AP and Coaches.

Yeah, I think we will be 9/10. Baylor, Florida and Murray St all had weeks that will drop them lower than us, and MSU is the only one close enough to leap frog us. Even tho teams like UNLV didnt lose this week, they will pretty far behind us in votes.

Coaches poll released and we are #9, just squeaking in ahead of Baylor (#10) and UNLV (#11). Fair bit behind MSU (#8).

For want of a Wittington FT...wonder what we would have been. Oh well, I'm happy.

He's had Gtown at 21 for a couple of weeks, and has consistently had us the lowest (or tied for lowest of any voter). Covers UVA. Make your own conclusions...
