omg....i love the Bulls and I will take all the positive press we can get but no way a team who has a Net ranking of 103 and an RPI of 74 with a SOS of 161st be essentially the 41st ranked team in the country. These voters don't really pay attention, all they see is a record. I shouldn't complain but I do it when other teams are "ranked" higher than they should be so i guess turnabout is fair play. It would be hilarious(and awesome) if we get in the dance.  

Actually, when you think about it, the voter rankings sometimes make more sense at times because they're a more current reflection of a team. We've got 5 losses, 4 within the first 6 games of a new coach with a rebuilt team. I'm assuming that, along with our overall SOS, plays a significant part of what's killing our NET. What are the odds that we lose those 4 games if we played them right now? Where would/should we be voter ranked if we were sitting at 21-1?

Seeing my Hoos back in the Top 25 and the Bulls getting votes is fan-effing-tastic. 

Same for me with my two schools, both having their best years in a long time. USF first in the AAC, and Stetson second in the A Sun.

Beat Tulsa and FAU this week, and I think we will be close to getting ranked. Its good for us that FAU is still ranked. Maybe not impossible at this point to be an at large?

Pretty cool to see the USF men’s hoops get some push from the local media regarding getting snubbed in the Top 25 poll…

Man, I think your manifesting the Bulls into the Top 25 is starting to work

First, the team earned those votes. 

I didn't reach out to any of the AP voters who voted for us, so no credit to me. 

I think I might have helped with the coaches poll, as one of the voting coaches liked my tweet to him, but we don't know if was one/some of our votes or not, and even if he was, he might have done it without my tweet. 

I did.  Once... and Mia O'Brien liked the post. HA!

We have to win out we might be able to afford to lose one game to a good team. But I really think we need to beat everyone one because we need the FAU,SMU, and charlotte wins for our resume and we need the number one seed in the AAC tournament.

If that happens then I do believe USF gets an at large bid as long as they have a decent showing in the AAC tournament

It will be fun to experience it from that side instead of the the usual side.
