Congrats, this looks like the bold upset prediction of the night. Who was the *** who mocked you with the "first beer" comment?

5. Wisconsin
6. Villanova
7. Gonzaga
8. Arizona
9. Wichita St
10. Washington
11. Iowa St
12. Utah
13. Maryland
14. Texas
15. Notre Dame
16. Kansas
Everybody should be watching that Zags @BYU game on Saturday. If BYU can get that win, I would say we have a really good shot at the top 10.

I don't anticipate Washington jumping Iowa State. Should they? Yeah, their resume is probably better but its not typically how the AP Poll works. Would have been awesome to see Witchita State go down. Villanova was down in second half as well.
I actually expect UW to jump ISU — assuming they don't lay an egg vs. Stony Brook, they'd be 13-0 and "did something" the past week by playing (and winning) two games, while we're idle.
Good call. I think it's a possibility (I wouldn't bet on it happening, but it's feasible).
The only other teams above Iowa State thru Sunday is Wichita State (vs. GW) and Wisconsin, which plays Buffalo. It'd be amusing if Badgers could follow Big Ten trend of losing a shocker at home in a cupcake game. It won't happen, just would be funny if it did — and I'd be curious how far voters would drop them, after an otherwise solid resume so far.
EDIT: forgot about Diamond Head Classic final

Who would have guessed Iowa State could move above both Texas and Kansas in the rankings without playing a game?
WSU has lived on the edge a few times already this season, but also keeps closing it out. It's possible to read that two different ways.
George Washington has a definite shot vs. Wichita, on a neutral floor.
I think GW beats WSU. WSU barely beat Detroit, Alabama, and now a really awful Hawaii team. WSU doesn't deserve their ranking after their sorry schedule they put out. If a school that plays a bunch of Sallies in conference play wants respect, they should load up their non conference schedule. Instead they play nobodies (other than Utah, who they lost to), and look vulnerable. ISU should jump these guys (this is assuming they end up beating GW) and I think it happens along with Texas and Kansas falling behind us. My guess is 9th, one spot behind Arizona.
This. I'm going to assume the voters will give Wichita the benefit of the doubt and hold them steady or even advance them a spot or 2 even though they are extremely overrated. There's a lot of comparison with this to the Florida State football team this year. Lots of ugly wins against mediocre teams but they still were top 4. I don't like it but I just don't see Wichita getting dropped at all.

Not sure if you watched, but UNLV did not "roll" AZ. AZ had plenty of opportunity to take the lead and win in the last minute. They didn't execute. If they played again I would put money on AZ "rolling" UNLV for sure.
