Side Note for our resident lurker: The difference between the Big East and the AAC (8.85) is smaller than the difference between the AAC and the -2.16 Mid American Conference (8.61)

Purdue goes down to OSU. We gave them a pretty good coach.

However, we kept 2 or 3 other great coaches

Tough break for Purdue. They got pretty close to their first ever #1 ranking. They still have @MSU coming up, so I am not sure where that leaves Xavier for the next poll.

What Holtmann has done at OSU is pretty amazing. That team was picked near the bottom of the B1G. Yes, I know the B1G sucks this year but still....

I'm still trying to figure out a way that both Purdue and MSU lose on Saturday. Haven't found it yet.

Sucks for Butler, but perhaps they found another solid coach in Jordan. I had them no higher than 6th before the season.

MSU win probably means #4, assuming X can win @ Creigton.
Purdue win I think it's 50/50 #3 or #4.

And I am not even sure how far Nova drops. I would think we'd still rank ahead of X, but losing at home to St. Johns is a real bad loss. I'd like to see VTech upset Virginia just to see top 5 in complete chaos.
