Wisconsin dropped to #19.

 

Nebraska is very secure now at #14.

Are they still predicted to lose their last ten games?

By my count, Sunday's game against Iowa will be the first game NU and their opponent were both ranked since playing the Fab 5 Michigan team in the Rainbow Classic on 12/28/1992.

Ohh Nooo! .  Not to a dreaded #13!    Let's make it at least a Two spot move.

So we did leapfrog in front of Kentucky into #13th briefly, but then we got jumped back by Kentucky a little while later.  I guess you could say it's a fluid situation, LOL.

Fricking Kansas State.  They haven't looked good all year.  Started conference play 0-2.  Was down by 20 to West Virginia at home.  Come back and win.  Now they come back and knock off Iowa State on the road today.

Ohio State with a rough week with losses to Rutgers and Iowa.  Whew Boy.  Could you imagine if we lost to Rutgers and Iowa instead of Maryland and Iowa?  

[Fullbacksympathy]

Ohio State’s ranking is completely unearned.  We have a better tournament resume.

I'm not entirely sold on that. But my position is in the "wait and see" mode for another couple weeks.

 

OSU:

Quad - 1: 2-1, 2: 3-2, 3: 1-0, 4: 6-0

Q1+Q2: 62.5%

NET: 36

Nebraska:

St John’s goes down at home to DePaul and Arizona State loses to Stanford.  PAC 12 is a one bid league!

The Wiscy hype train is a joke.  Same with IU and OSU.  We have way more talent than those three teams.  If we were any of those names, we’d be AP Top 15-20 range week in and week out even before we kicked IU’s ass.

Texas had a shot to win in the final 3 sec, took a highly contested 3 that barely drew iron. KU survived (like, of course, they did... they always seem to at 'The Phog') by a final score, 80-78.
