Elsewhere on the Big East top 25 bubble, if Butler jumps in they're really going to have earned it with games @ X and vs SHU. Perhaps Creighton could sneak back in for us.
The polls are where we're seeing the most damage from SHU's choke at RU. If they don't blow that game (or simply don't play it and win another buy game instead), the Big East would have 3 top-10 teams right now with 2 more on the top-25 bubble. As is, we're barely keeping 3 teams ranked.
I'll add that SHU seems to get unfairly punished in the polls compared to other teams with a similarly bad loss and overall comparable resume *cough* UNC *cough*.

Butler has a better SOS than Gonzaga, Baylor, Creighton and Notre Dame, who all have three losses as well.

Seton Hall has 2 wins vs teams getting votes this week. Neither loss vs top 25 team
UNC has 2 wins vs top 25 teams this week. 1 of their 2 losses vs #1 Michigan St.
