They deserve to be the #15 or #17 ranked team…#20 is taking credit from what they did beating the #2 and #23 teams. Taking down Kansas is nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah, at least at #15.
UNC bolted up from #23 to #15 based on their Louisville win, even though they had lost to Belmont, struggled vs Holy Cross, and beat like Oakland and Richmond.

Have to wait til Monday to see.

Its Sunday EST right now...

Good call.

The week that UNC bolted up, they beat a 4-2 Richmond team and then #2 Louisville.

I think part of things- only 2 teams ranked 16-25 have lost this week so far in coaches at least... #18 Creighton and #23 Iowa. Not many have a shot to lose tomorrow.. The only ones that come to mind are Kentucky- #4 8 Oklahoma St/19 Memphis, 10 Gonzaga, 12 Wichita St(plays Saint Louis), and possibly 24 VCU(vs Belmont).

Great win for Nova and the Big East!

I tuned into a Nova game and for a while at least a Creighton shooting exhibition broke out.

I thought Baylor(18) had already lost this week, so that might be a potential opening (it was a close game against Syracuse, so maybe not). Wichita state is in legitimate danger against SLU, make no mistake. That said, unless it is a blowout they will probably not be in danger of dropping out of the top 25. Memphis will likely lose, although whether they remain in the top 25 is a matter of margin of loss. On the off chance that UAB beats UNC I think they would drop out (far outside chance). I think we have opportunities and will have at least 2 teams (Creighton and Nova) in the polls next week.

You are right about Baylor... It'll be close between those 2...

I don't know about Creighton. no one below them except for Iowa lost, and they have a replacement in Nova for them. A team that wasn't ranked that I think will get ranked is Pitt. 3 big wins this week, including one vs Stanford.

I'm assuming we are out, so that makes 2 places. It will likely be Creighton or Pitt for our spot.

RPI look-
Good- Nova. Up to #6 right now..... what more can you say.
Bad- Xavier. Down to #144 right now... 53 spots worse than any other BE team.

at least in the one I was looking at- coaches- Marquette wasn't in there.

AP poll, Creighton was 2 slots lower than in the coaches. Iowa St and UCLA ahead of Creighton in AP. AP didn't have VCU ranked. I think that'll probably change on Monday.
