CBS says we have a chance to move up to 4th.....That would be a surprise.....

Quote from: brewcity77 on December 08, 2024, 04:27:36 PMWell, guess Kansas and Oregon weren't on board with this. New guess:

1) Tennessee
2) Auburn
3) Iowa State
4) Duke
5) Marquette
6) Kentucky
7) Alabama
8) Florida
9) Kansas
10) Purdue

But I could see us anywhere from 4-6. Sticking with Kentucky behind us for two reasons. First, everyone saw Kentucky lose as it was pretty much a standalone game by the time it was on Tuesday. Second, pretty much no one saw us lose to Iowa State because it was on ESPN+ while Alabama/UNC and Auburn/Duke were overlapping it.

Here was how each AP voter ranked MU last week. 

https://collegepolltracker.com/basketball/team/marquette-golden-eagles/2024

AP voter Dave Borges (and UConn beat reporter) has MU down to 7 from 5.

And UConn from 1 to unranked to 13.

My best guess:

1. Tennessee
2. Auburn
3. Iowa State
4. Kentucky
5. Duke
6. Marquette
7. Alabama
8. Gonzaga
9. Florida
10. Kansas
11. Purdue
12. Houston
13. Oklahoma (They don't belong here but voters love 9-0 high majors)
14. UConn
15. Oregon
16. Texas A&M
17. Ole Miss
18. Clemson
19. Baylor
20. Cincinnati
21. Michigan
22. Michigan State
23. San Diego State
24. UCLA
25. Wisconsin

Definitely won't be higher than 4 and won't be lower than 7. I think we hold off Alabama from passing us. I think Kentucky and Duke end up in front of us if for no other reason than name recognition

#5

There was the guy who put marquette from 24 to 6 a few weeks ago.

AP voter Chris Murrary has MU down to 6 from 4.

I missed this. Why doesn't Steele have a vote anymore?

Reddit User Poll has us at #5.

1. Tennessee
2. Auburn
3. Iowa St
4. Kentucky
5. Marquette
6. Duke
7. Alabama
8. Florida
9. Gonzaga
10. Kansas

I think we end up at 6 with Duke, Kentucky above us.

AP voter Jon Rothstein has us at 4 down from 3.

Oh baby.  A Scoop anger campaign.  That'll fix this!

This will be populated with individual voters shortly but 6 seems very fair.

So no wrath?

Yep. We are signficantly closer to #4 Duke than we are to #7 Alabama, all of which seems fair.

I thought Madison would drop out of the 25 and thought there was a decent chance Creighton would be ranked. Otherwise, not much surprising to me.

Our vote total actually increased from 1246 to 1274.

Seems weak

I didn't say that.  I'm pondering a few options.

Oh...I misread that.  I thought it was 6 voters.
