i guess SI is only doing a top 20 this year but USF isnt one of them.

oh well, we still have enough love in the other polls that we will be ranked to start the season.

Considering we are ranked in the coaches poll I'm not worried.  I'll assume we'll be in the Media poll too.

So, that's all that matters.  We've got enough attention ot make the poll.  Now it's up to the players and coaches.

When does the AP poll come out?

I can just see future headlines...  if we're ranked #17:

"USF Not Ranked in Top 15"

If we're ranked 11:

"USF Not Considered Among The Elite"

huh?  not quite.  the "TOP 25" is huge.  its the only grouping that matters.  top 20 dont mean anything different then top 25 or top 15. 

once you are in the top 25 all that matters is being #1.  but when you are out of the top 25 all that matters is being in the top 25.
