Baylor #1 in the AP Poll for the first time ever...

[JusHappy2BeHere]

At least for a week. @WVU and @KState this week...it will be tough to stay there, but quite an achievment for Drew and Baylor considering what BU has been historically and what they were when Scott came to Waco.

Congrats. Drew has become an exceptional coach.

I've never seen that poll before, but the actual AP poll has ISU receiving 7 votes for #28.

Good lord, KSU ranked #25 in the country? This poll must be filled out by people that just look at records and not quality of schedule.

Gotta give it up to the Bears. They were in the worst situation possible, in the worst college city imaginable and they've gotten it done.

 

[CarlHungus]

I wonder if a blue-blood will make a run at Drew at some point?

 

[NetflixAndClone]

Congrats to BU, it a shame we let the game get away from us in Wace though.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yeah, going to be tough to keep that one as the conference schedule will be awfully tough.

Never fear. This week will tell the tale on K-State (@Tech/Baylor home).

Coaches concur.

I just see the AP poll in your link.

#1 and #2 out of the Big 12. And #10. That should help our RPI rise nicely.

So OU and KU held the #1 spot last year, and BU this year. WVU has a chance to climb up there, but very unlikely, but that would mean the Big XII had 30% or 40% of the league holding that position recently. Oh how close we came.

That was my hope for last year when we started high that we would get a chance to be ranked number 1. Even if just for a week.

Congrats on the ranking! I think with the tough B12, you'll probably settle in in the 5-15 range, but enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[VeloClone]

Congrats, Bears. That is a heck of a team. Hopefully they can get it done and knock KU off of their perch this season.

I would think ISU really needs a win or two vs. the 'top 3' to solidify things, and last week proved that it's possible. I'm not sure if I believed that 3 weeks ago.

Problem is that there aren't any teams that are the type a good team can just TCOB against, and ISU doesn't seem good enough to do that as it is, so reliability is tricky.

This is poll tracker which allows you to see how every member of the poll voted...

Seth Davis, for example, has Baylor ranked 5th
