We were #43 in the AP last week in terms of votes, but after #28 it was highly dispersed.   I can certainly seeing us get more votes, but others can certainly pick other teams that were in the #29-#43 group.   We won at Georgetown... a good win, but nothing great either that makes you jump others that were well in front of you.

Teams #26-28, had clearly separated themselves from #29-43 before this week.   They will get dibs on the first spots that open in the AP Top 25.
#26 Creighton won -- they will climb in, deserved or not
#27 Oklahoma won at Wichita St -- they are jumping in easily.
#28 Texas lost, so they are out of discussion, and we will jump them,

Who falls out of the top 25:
Florida should and with 4 losses we should jump them,
#20 -Tennessee might after losing to a top 10 team at home.   (But we are not jumping them)
#19  - Florida St might after losing to Oklahoma St  (But we are not jumping them)
#18 - Notre Dame might after losing to Indiana at home (But we are not jumping them)
#15 - Seton Hall might after losing to Rutgers (But we are not jumping them)

So Creighton and Oklahoma take two of the teams that fall out.  I think the other 3 teams above might come in at 26, 27, 28.

Louisville and Arkansas had 19 and 17 points, compared to our 2 and won on neutral courts.   They probably stay ahead of us.   Around #30 will be our peak.  (My guess is #33)  No chance at the top 25.
