With the week nearly over, it's looking like we'll have 3 ranked teams. 2-4 is still possible, but I'd say 3.
More importantly, the currently ranked teams/SHU should improve this week (aside from Creighton).
#4 Nova: Won Vs Penn & @ St. Joe's. Should stay at #4 barring a massive MSU upset.
#21 Xavier: Won Vs #16 Baylor & #11 Cincinnati. Amazing week. Tough to know how much they'll improve, but have to think mid teens at least.
#25 Creighton: Lost @ #15 Gonzaga. Most likely will drop from the rankings.
#26 Seton Hall: Won Vs #22 Texas Tech. Game tomorrow @ #17 Louisville. Think they'll most likely be ranked even if they lose tomorrow.
#35 Providence: Won't be ranked
So far we have two elite teams in Nova and Xavier. Seton Hall has a chance tomorrow to join that conversation.
Also, SJU plug here... but if we somehow win our two games out West next week (@ Grand Canyon & #20 Arizona State). We MAY be ranked. We'd be 9-1 with wins over #20 Arizona State (probably higher when the polls out Monday), Nebraska, Oregon State, UCF. Only loss to Missouri. Not an amazing resume, but definitely should at least gets some votes. In terms of RPI at least we'd definitely be Top 25 since right now we're #33.
