  I'd switch 1 and 2, but it really doesn't matter--looks about right
• karen lotz

  

  How many first place votes did OSU get? I'd still put them above Kansas and would have Texas as #1 based on how everyone is playing.

  The ESPN text I got says OSU only dropped to 2nd.
• sleeper

  

  OSU should be #1 or #2, what a joke. I'd love to see Kansas or Texas go into Wisconsin and win.
  
  Here's a hint: They wouldn't.

  Neither did OSU, what a dumb way to point out they are worse lol.
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  Apparently Texas losing 3 games is more forgiveable than OSU losing to a team that never loses at home and needed a perfect stretch to win by 4. Seems pretty logical.

  Louisville loses to Notre Dame in Overtime, then beats Syracuse and drops a spot..?

  I think Kansas loses tonight in Manhattan anyway, so it doesn't matter.
  
  And FWIW, Lunardi still has the Bucks as his #1 overall seed.

  Not that I disagree, because I don't...but its all about the present, not the past in terms of voting.

  Definitely nervous about tonight...KSU is fighting for their NCAA chances, I feel they gotta beat either UT or KU to be considered for the tourney.
  
  Wouldn't be surprised if they won tonight, but I think KU will take care of business.
  
  Doesn't help that Selby (listed as questionable, but not lookin good) and RTob are out.

  OSU doesn't have 3 losses. They lost on the road, to a top ten team, in at worst, the 2nd best conference in the country.

  I don't know if I really believe they will lose or not, I was just trying to stir shit up lol

  Why is Syracuse still ranked after losing six of eight and two last week? That's like ranking the 1994 Rockets atop the current NBA Power Poll rankings. Let's get serious.
  
  Bill Raftery and Co. just mentioned that tonight Syracuse is experiencing its lowest crowd total at the Carrier Dome in years. No shit, they have lost six of eight and three in a row at home.
• wildcats20

  

  Because they play in the most difficult league in NCAA history..... :rolleyes:
• reclegend22

  

  Well, besides that. It's a given that the Big East could go undefeated in the AFC South, but I thought we could at least be objective about it in other aspects (like Top 25 rankings).
  
  I said yesterday that if Syracuse was still ranked when the polls were released today, so should the Long Island Seawolves. Well, where are the damn Seawolves?
• CinciX12

  

  Syracuse being ranked still is a joke, even after beating WVU tonight.
• ytownfootball

  

  They get points for the Big East and Jim Boeheim, I'm not surprised.

  I'm not surprised either. I thought that they wouldn't even drop to 20. 17 is what I figured they would come out this week as.
