AP has us at 29. Again

And we are still 30th in the coaches poll.

I'm sure the polls will get us there when all the talking heads have is in top 25. In sure people will see dicky v's and we'll get a bump

I don't see the polls updated past Dec 17th, link?

nm it updated, disappointing that we didn't get any love. Kind of surprised Temple is getting more love than us I guess they did beat SYR so that gives them a top 5 win and you can't argue that. I figured UNM would drop from rankings and they would get more votes that us as well.

w/e just keep taking care of business if they want to give us no respect and no ranking w/e but if we finish the conference strong and still have no respect no ranking and don't get into the dance I will be quite upset.

I think that we will break the Top 25 after the smu win. Yes, it will be a win. And if we continue to build the resume we should stay in the Top 25 throughout the rest of the season.
If we start 16-0, we will surely be Top 25 when SDSU comes to town. Then if we win that game, and are 17-0, I think we can afford a loss @UNLV and still stay in the Top 25. After that, we gotta just keep winning and not drop stupid games to Boise (still not sold on the smurfs) and AFA, and SWEEP the SHEEP. End up in the Top 25 at the end of the season and get a good seed for the tourney.

SDSU always plays us tough in the AA, Depending on what they do against Arizona tomorrow will be a big mark on what happens for us if we beat them.

 

[AfiPoke]

I doubt we get in with a win over SMU. The OOC SoS is pretty atrocious. Colorado falling off the map doesn't help.

 

[Wyo2dal]

To be 100% honest I don't think we hit the top 25 unless we go undefeated up to UNLV in Vegas and beat them. SMU won't give us a top 25 and none of the early conference games will either.

 

[phxpoke]

We just need to keep winning, which I expect us to do in Dallas. I was watching the New Mexico game at a bar last night (no sound.) I noticed they put up a list of the remaining unbeaten teams, it was great seeing Steamboat on national tv. Did they happen to say anything about our team?

 

[nirv117]

I didn't hear them say anything - just flashed the list. I only watched the second half.

Nope they just named off the undefeated teams.

Then he promptly drops the Pokes out of his top 25 this week.

It's going to happen when we don't play and other teams below us do.
