Ranking Prediction

[BullyPulpit]

We could lose ranking points, but still remain around the same ranking overall. There will be a lot of disparity among the teams ranked #18 to #25 by the voters. Spread out the wealth enough and we might not see a huge drop. Realistically, I see us dropping to #22 or #23 in the AP.

Can you explain how we'd fall 6 spots after winning, with #17 UF, #22 WVU, and #23 Texas all losing?  K-State and VaTech may leap frog us.  I don't see Washington St or UT doing it though.  I think AP will be between 19 and 21.

So Washington State did leapfrog us, but UT didn't

I couldn't help but wonder as I watched the game how we'd fare against Tennessee or Ga. Tech.  #19 felt sort of paper tigerish...

Right now we would be in a world of hurt

Apparently, CCS will be surprised:

From Oracle:

Even with two lackluster starts to open the season, Strong doesn’t see why the No. 19 Bulls would drop in the polls.

“I don’t know if we’ll drop,” Strong said. “We don’t have any reason to drop, we just have to be better.”

Perhaps, next time he will tack on some more points at the end of the game when given the opportunity.

I would love to see a more high octane offense.  I am not surprised by CCS coming out and stating "I don't know if we'll drop".  I actually would have been surprised if he did say we would drop.  Lets beat UConn!
