Let that sink in for a sec Looking at their schedule it could be true. As of today it's their best win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of odd, usually it's the other way around, coaches getting it, AP generally clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches filling out these polls are simply too lazy to do a little research. I would bet for the most part that their SID's fill in the polls for them and then maybe (emphasis on maybe) run it by the coach before submitting. Maybe even more than coaches, because they don't have to watch opponent game film, etc., SID's are probably only watching their own teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivalry games and tough road contests, we all said rankings are not that important, but with a win on Saturday, we move up at least 3 spots. Yeah, rankings are not that important; washing, waxing and buffing the car isn't that important either, but it's a nice enjoyable luxury. With a long week between games, it's another talking point.

milehiiu Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 In terms of the coach's poll.... I read a story a number of years ago, in which many coaches admitted they don't have the time to follow college basketball that closely. And therefore rely more on what others tell them and what they read. That's for basketball. Football was a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, neither one, AP or Coaches matters when it comes "play-off" time in either sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Don't expect us any higher than 24th in this week's poll. Villanova is the only team ahead of us that will fall. Syracuse lost so they will drop out. We should end up higher than K State but that's not a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 As long as we do not fall out of the top 25 or we are not in a three way tie for a position in the top 25 after beating a top 30 team, I will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
