#23. A little low imo. Rothstein is one of the 11 voters who still has ISU unranked.



Lol Memphis should not be ranked let alone #19


Time of the year when Big 12 teams get dropped for playing each other.

Remember 7 teams ranked at start of playing each other, 8 after a week or two in.

It'll be 4 or 5 by end of the year with a lot of the minor league conferences getting boosted while Power One beats up on itself without a propaganda network like the SEC gets in football.

Arizona is pretty fraudulent this year. They really suck on the road. I think they will be pretty average as long as they have Tommy Lloyd.

AZ and Gonzaga are tough because you know there is talent but it's not clicking.

AZ somehow did better against their meat grinder non conf than they are doing against pretty easy Pac schedule.

I’ve checked in on poll tracker throughout the last few years and Wilner is often a hold out with ranking ISU. I’m guessing it’ll take a KU win to get on his radar.

He has many oddities. Texas being ranked 16th right now should be grounds for losing voting privileges.

Some other bad ones:
14. FAU
22. Kansas State
24. Ole Miss

If a Big 12 team not named Kansas lost in the non-con to the 2 teams Memphis just lost to, they wouldn’t sniff the top 25 for the rest of the year

Funny part about that is that that he had us at 22 last week. 1-1 for the week moves us up 11 spots. Nice.

He is a KState beat writer. Either he has done some research in preparation of Wednesday, or he knows a win or a loss looks better for KState if we are ranked higher.

FAU - 29/26
KSU - 71/56
Ole Miss - 70/78
Texas - 59/46

Actually kind of scary bubble for those three when they pick up losses later that they are that low now.

The B12 teams seem like they can only go up unless they lose most the rest of their games. If KSU goes 5-8 to finish 9-9 I would bet they are a lot higher.
