I say we will be close with 19,20,22,24 and 25 losing; several teams will move in.

Time for #19 Butler to move out; they have lost 6 of their last 10 for crying out loud.

alot of teams lost or went 1-1 in and outside the rankings. Ohio State will be ranked for sure..maybe even in the top 20. They deserve. I think Northern Iowa, BYU, and Arizona have solid shots.

great news...scratch one offf....byu, az, osu..who falls out, for some reason there is a love affair with overrated Butler. Houston also lost today and IMO should not be ranked but probably stay in. Iowa is going to fall close to being out. Illinois is definitely out. Tex Tech went 1-1. LSU lost

At this point I don't care that we're ranked. I'd rather continue being the hunter and not the hunted. It was great being ranked those two weeks. We have some unfinished business including beating for the first time Michigan and Maryland. We need to hold serve and then maybe, just maybe get an elusive road win.

I’m circling this one. First I think saying fail is for wimps. Second, we do deserve to be in but may not be. So it’s not a fail. It’s a real possibility but doesn’t matter as said above. Let’s be there at the end of the season.
I won’t say what I think of people who use the word wimp and you clearly just started watching basketball if you think we deserve to be ranked. It’s possible, but I would consider it a mistake if we are.

Win twice next week and we will check in at 21 the following week at 20-8...and in third place in the big ten at 11-6

Take care of our business...the national ranking will follow

My thought exactly. Win against Michigan and at Wisconsin, lock up the first NCAA berth in forever with 2 weeks to go in the season, and we will probably be ranked the rest of the way. If Rutgers wants the ranking, they are going to have to prove it, and I am fine with that.

You don't .500 yourselves into a ranking, particularly with only home wins

If we were 3-5 on road we'd be top 20. The fact that we cannot win on the road just makes us look really weak regardless if games were close or. Not. Good teams must win on the road.

Well...if we won two more games ...and was 11-4 and 20-6 right now ...we would be checking in between 12-15 this week

The difference between being 10 and 30 in the national rankings? For a lot of teams, a couple of possessions in a couple of close games

NCAA going to be wild this year...especially in the second round
