Does X stay in the top 25?

I say we stay in.

Not sure who won or lost above us, but I am hard pressed to find 25 better teams than us right now... I know that voters do not vote that way. It sure seems like we have very little margin for error in Top 25 voting. (I know that's not a new topic on this board.)

Lots of upsets in the top 25. I expect a 24-25 ranking by Monday.

It will be close, if UK can get a win in OT and ASU holds on in Palo Alto I think we stay as Florida and Stanford will not rise

Florida looks like they will win. The number of top 25 teams that lost this week is staggering. Just today the losers were #1 #4 #9 # 15 #16 #23 #24
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I think the win tonight helps X stay in the Top 25. It leaves a good impression the night before the rankings are done. Also, with so many upsets this week, X's big loss against Temple on their home court doesn't look as bad. I say either #24 or #25.

Looking at the bottom of the top 25, we should be safe. Miami (FL) dropped two games, URI lost to SLU, and Clemson fell to Duke. Villanova managed to win both games this week & will rise. Florida will reach top 25 (even though they haven't played a worthwhile team yet), and XU should stay at #23 or #24.

We stay in. Teams that didn't lose this week who are close behind us in the rankings are St. Mary's, Stanford, Drake, and West Virginia. West Virginia plays tomorrow.

I say if WV wins we go to 25. WV loss, we are at 24.

It'll be close, but I see us sticking around in the 23-25 range. This week proved that conference play, on the road in particular (but not exclusively), holds many surprises.
