There are so many teams that had more points in the other receiving votes category that I am not sure we make up that many spots this week.

 

Lucky for me I can get as much enjoyment out of being “outraged” as I can out of us getting in

I doubt it this week.  I think we move from the 40's to the 30's in the polls.  Beat Tulsa and SMU and we're in the top 25 next week.

GO BULLS!

Great time to be a USF fan.

The one advantage that USF has going is being on ESPN and winning their 11th straight game in front of a national audience

Ranking is football-thinking. It’s mostly meaningless in college basketball, outside of impacting the top few seeds in the tournament. It’s nice window dressing, but it’s all about finding a way into the tournament - however you do it. That’s why college basketball’s post season is so far superior to college football.

The only ranking that matters is when the tournament is over. Look at the year our baseball team reached the Super Regional. We weren’t sniffing a Top-25 ranking all year, but we were in that final poll. Hoops is the same.

Agree with you on this.

However, since MBB has never been ranked, it would be nice to see it for the first time.

247 thinks we will be ranked. Should know within the hour.

We're expecting some shakeup inside the top 10 this week.

I think it’s just nice to see a number by your name and also attention breeds attention, it certainly can’t hurt impact when your scores are shown by default when looking up scores of the day, that your scores are scrolling at the bottom of broadcast and when people go through highlights yours are covered. People have mostly forgotten about usf and it’s nice to get to remind them that we are still here.
