1/5 2015 AP Ranking & Big 12 Games Tonight

[hobbsfan27]

What do you guys think that we will be ranked in an hour or two? I am hoping to stay top 15... but could see us falling to about 18-20.

Who are you all cheering for tonight as well.. OU @ Tex? And hopefully Tech could upset WVU tonight.

If we fall to 18-20, I'll be ******. KU gets beat by Temple and only went down 4 spots. ISU has been getting some love this year though. I hope we are still in the top 15.

We'll receive votes.

Rooting for the Red Raiders and Longhorns. Can't have a conference contender (OU) winning on the road vs. another conference contender.

I think ISU will drop to #16. No way they drop lower then 18, but I think ISU will still be ahead of OU and UNC.

ISU falls to #17..behind OU and ahead of UNC

Time to buckle it up and play ball. We are #5 of 6 B12 teams in the poll. Time to get tougher.

Arkansas is back in at #23.

**** Vitale put South Carolina at #25 on his ballot.

We drop 8 spots, total bs

The only one I would argue is a three loss OU jumping ISU. Other then that, you cant argue any of those other teams jumping ISU. People bringing up the KU loss only dropping them 4 spots need to remember that the Top 15 had 6 teams with loses that week. This week there was only 3.

? Everyone who leapfrogged us won...

We were exposed on Saturday. We showed how we can be beaten. It wasn't so much about the loss, but the type of loss. It begs the voters to think that other Big 12 teams will be able to do the same thing to us. We can get all the voters back by beating OK St and WV.

Need to win 2 games this week to lock up Gameday

Hard to complain about the drop. Taking an objective look at our resume, it isn't all that impressive. No great wins, no glaringly bad losses either, but nothing remarkable. Luckily, we will have plenty of opportunity to make our mark.

 

[CYUL8R]

Not really upset. We were too high at #9 and this just evens that out. Nice to see Arkansas back in, hope they keep it up. Now we just have to take care of business this week. Okie Light and the Flaming Couches need to be taken out and all will be right with the world again. The WVU game scares me, but we have a VERY good chance of winning there if we don't fall asleep at the wheel again.

 

[Wesley]

Time to stop making so many mistakes on offense. We can be our own worse enemy. Keep looking for the passes and not assume the dribbler will keep the ball.

Exposed? We lost by 4 to a projected tourney team.

We showed that even on our WORST shooting % night we're are extremely tough to beat.

Don't worry about the AP Poll. Most voters are in the old, lazy "lose, slide down, win slide up" autopilot and aren't really actually comparing teams like the Selection Committee does. There was a ranked team at the end of last year that didn't even make the tourney. ISU will either have the resume to warrant a good seed or they will slide down the bracket a bit. They have so many games left against good teams that they can still build a solid, top three seed worthy resume.

Yeah, you're right, exposed is not really the right word. We lost because we missed shots that we usually make. If you knew every stat about that game except the number of 3s we made, you would think we won for sure. We shouldn't be beaten by teams that score in the 60s.

South Carolina was projected for the tourney? That's news to me.
