Give it a rest. They are going to have their minds so wrapped up in RPI, SOS, conference performance, quality wins, etc., that they aren't going to give a rat's arse what the media thinks.
We WILL be ranked next Monday..

Ok. So. The seeds that play in omaha are 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, and 15. With the 12 seed being a play in game. We are most likely going to be sitting on a 10 seed next bracketology. This can work.

We're not ranked, we don't go into every game with teams looking for a signature win over a ranked team. I don't see us being ranked come Monday.
#25 Vandy lost today and some other top 25 team lost too. I think we will jump some people to get in, just because we are in the Big 12.

If the only teams ahead of you are ranked in the Top 10, you should be ranked.
If you've beaten one of those Top 10 teams, you really deserve to be ranked.
If you have two other "should have won" games, you really, really, really deserve to be ranked.
We deserve to be ranked. Can't have a Top 25 that doesn't include us and call it the nation's best 25 teams.

vandy is the only one that may drop out, so it is doubtful that we will be ranked. maybe we get lucky and slide into that 25 spot.
Ranked in early February? Would be nice, being ranked and going on a losing skid would be a big blow to the momentum that is building in the program, I prefer to just keep winning, getting better and being there ready to make some noise in March even if it does go unnoticed in the short term. When your program has been irrelevant as long as ours has been there will be doubters all the way through, our focus should be what it appears to be, take one game at a time - win it and move on to the next challenge. Each win is bigger than the last, the confidence this team gains from road wins is invaluable. Lets do it again Tuesday.
Teams ranked from 21 to us in the AP poll:
21. Florida State: Georgia State W, #18 Virginia W
22. Mississippi State: Auburn W
23. Michigan: #20 Indiana W, #10 Michigan State
24. Gonzaga: BYU L, Pepperdine
25. Vandy: Arkansas L, #11 Florida L
Harvard: Cornell W, Columbia W
Louisville: Rutgers W
Kansas State: Iowa State L, Texas A&M W
West Virginia: Pitt L, Providence
Wichita State: Missouri State W, Indiana State
Nevada: Utah State W, Idaho
Notre Dame: #15 Marquette W
Southern Miss: Memphis W
Long Beach State: Cal State Northridge
I think we can pass Long Beach State, Southern Miss, Nevada, Wichita State, West Virginia, Kansas State, Vandy, and Gonzaga. Maybe Michigan if they lose tomorrow. That puts us at 26 or 27 for next week.

Probably won't be, but I have a hard time believing that there are 20-25 teams better than this one.
Not true. A lot of teams near the bottom of the T25 lost and could potentially drop out after losses this week...
Vandy
Indiana
Wisconsin
Gonzaga
In addition, a number of slightly higher ranked teams also lost, and could fall off some voters' ballots (but will likely remain ranked in total):
Creighton
Marquette
Virginia
UNLV
etc
Not sure who we can jump. Maybe Wisconsin or Indiana falls out, but the media is loving the Big 10. Illinois may be looking to move up to after beating MSU.

We absolutely should be ranked now. Based on K State's ranking earlier alone gets us ranked. But if we get ****ed, which I expect we will, lets keep winning. The nation gives us no respect. Lets make them respect us. win. win. win.
