Sparty

That was my guess but X, Nova, UVA and Purdue tight right there too.

UC be 6 again?

OSU getting near top 10?

Purdue lost twice this week lol and UVA and Nova lost at home to unranked teams. I could see Xavier but they were 5th and sparty was 4th and sparty best #3 Purdue. Think they’ll give it to sparty. 

And yeah I think OSU moves up to 7th.

Sparty, no doubt...and fwiw, I've got OSU at 8.

I missed the other Purdue loss this week.

1. Mich St

I think Nova May stay above X but hope not. I bet UVA stays ahead of UC

2. Nova

3. Xavier

4. UVA

5. UC

10. OSU

I don’t think Kansas deserves a 2 seed at this point. Too many L’s and they don’t really scare anybody. 

Mich St wouldn’t be a 3 right now

They shouldn't be, but that's what the committee says they are currently.

Michigan States 3rd best win is Nebraska. They are probably closer to 4 seed than 2. The B1G is simply horrendous.

But Izzzzzzzzzzzoooooooooooooo

OSU up to 8 in the AP Poll. 

And voters completely disregarded losing at home for Virginia. They are 1 and Sparty is 2.

Nova loses again. 

Indiana is not a good team because they can’t score. But goodness Archie can coach. They have gone from around 250 in defensive rating to 50 in the matter of 2-2.5 months. 1 of 2 teams who are giving up under 1 point per possession in B1G play. Light years ahead of where they were in years past/to start this season.

Too bad guard play is still awful. Can’t wait for Phinese to get to campus, and, hopefully, Romeo.

That said, they have a chance to host OSU in the season finale on a 5 game win streak and a chance for 11-7 in conference. Never thought I’d see that...especially after the opening loss to Indiana State.

Also, Kentucky lost again. Are they on the bubble yet?

Currently 9th in the SEC and have lost 4 straight.

I would definitely say things need to change for them to get in.

Looks like things could get very interesting.
