any chance we'll be ranked this week

We have to be ranked. Even the biased writers can no longer deny our place.
We should be ranked in the top 15. Not the top 25.

top 4 teams have lost this week with Duke still yet to play. This should be an interesting monday who be the new number one? St Johns???

I think Duke will be the new #1, but it's not a level playing field. After Duke the ACC isn't as good as the CAA. Some of those teams don't even look like D1 caliber.

I wonder though, who will we pass? Not many of the teams in the 20's lost.

Syracuse shouldn't be ranked. They stink on ice.

In addition to our winning, we also need a few teams ranked between 15-25 to LOSE and drop out of the rankings. The only team that I can tell that lost this week between the ranks of 15 and 25 is, ironically, St. Mary's (#23).  My GUESS is that they drop out, but voters won't drop teams if they didn't lose.  My guess is that we'll be in.

I can't figure out how Xavier is ranked. I think they'd lose in the first round of the NIT. There are a lot of overrated teams in the top 25 that have racked up a strong record, but really haven't beaten anyone.

Who is Xavier's best win? Dayton? St.Louis?

They have no business even getting votes. Neither does Temple, Utah State or Vandy. It's ridiculous. Hopefully the committee stays true to their appreciation of SOS.

i wonder what will happen at the top of the polls, as kansas, ohio st, texas and pitt all lost this week.

Here are some early ballots I found for this week that will be among the approximately 60 ballots counted for the AP poll.
