#18
And both Battle and Moyer will drop 7-9 spots in the ESPN 100 as a result of Cuse winning Atlantis.

20

#15/16

 

[Orangezoo]

I go with 19-21 and prefer as much. Good to get back on the radar but a long ways to go and keep the bacon dangling in front.

 

[senorpalmer]

17

 

[rstone7727]

I'm saying #17.

 

[cpatrocks]

I vote for 15 as well

 

[jr4750]

13th

Yep, said that number myself

 

[cliftonparksufan]

My first thought was 15th and after reading other predictions, I am sticking with 15. Seems about right.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Miami went from NR to 15 and beat no one in that span so Im gonna say 12

 

[VikesCuse84]

I'll say 14th

 

[Frozen]

69, dudes.

But really, 19.

 

[WalkON]

Switching with uconn at 18

 

[IthacaMatt]

In 2009 we jumped into the top 10 after beating Cal and UNC. I think 19 Monday.

We beat 18 and 25. We'll probably come in around 20th, depends on how many other teams are still undefeated.

#14

 

[nycfan]

very surprised if we are inside the top 20. It just doesnt work that way. I will go #22

Yes, it does work that way in November as the first poll is not based on any actual results. There is no chance they will be only in the 20's after starting 6-0 and beating 2 very good ranked teams (and Texas A&M is actually better than their 25 ranking after beating a really good Gonzaga team). Should be around 15 /16, so if I can only pick one I'll go with 15.

[MartyCuse]

21st. We should make a tee shirt

 

[jncuse]

17th

 

[SUinSC]

It doesn't matter this early. For the coaches/players, let's keep a little disrespectful motivation. #25 going into two big games vs Wisconsin and G'town.

 

[PoppyHart]

21

 

[Dave85]

I'm going with #17 behind Purdue but ahead of Miami and ND who both lost. And Gonzaga will be ranked higher than us with 1 loss.

P.S. First time this season I actually looked at rankings! What fun!

 

[longislandcuse]

Between 10-15

 

[RF2044]

Between 10-15

That feels like a steep jump, but with the number of teams that lost this week I agree with you.

 

[jncuse]

Many teams have lost this week -- many to not so great opponents. Assuming no further surprises this weekend:

Current Top 25 Teams they Should Jumped (8 Teams)
#25 - Texas AM (We beat them)
#24 - Cincy (No losses but all cupcakes)
#22 - LSU (2 Losses This Week)
#21 - Oregon (See Cincy)
#20 - Wichita (2 Losses)
#18 - UConn (2 Losses)
#17 - Notre Dame (Lost to Monmouth)
#15 - Miami (Lost to Northeastern)
#14 - Cal (2 losses)
#13 - Indiana (2 losses)
#11 - Arizona (Lost to Santa Clara)

Likely Jumped (2 Teams)
#24 - Cincy (No losses but all cupcakes)
#21 - Oregon (See Cincy)

Maybe Jump
#19 - Vanderbilt (Only Loss to Kansas)

Doubt that we Jump:
#23 - Xavier (Undefeated and Assuming they win Tounrey this week)
#16 - Purdue (Stay Undefeated)
#10 -Gonzaga (Lost to a good Team, and hard to take a big fall from the Top 10)

Then we need to consider teams with votes outside of the top 26 who had really good weeks:
None of them had a last week -- Dayton could potentially beat Xavier and Iowa ... but if they beat Xavier we probably jump them.

So for sure #17 as of today (Pass 8 Teams), before we get to the weekend, and possibly as high as 14 as of today.

We can get a few more spots depending on what happens this weekend - but I don't see many upsets in those games.
