Expected more of a jump with all the losing ahead of us and us looking dominant, but we’ll get plenty of chances for top 10. If you would’ve told me we’d be effectively a 3 seed at this point in the season, I’d be ecstatic.
This - If I could lock in a 3 seed right now to the tourney with all our guys healthy - I’d take that…we’ll be ready to rock

21?

He gushed about FAU beating Arizona. And that he's been a believer all along. Then ranked FAU two spots below Arizona.

It's nonsense. Maybe he's of those pollsters that assumes his first ballot was perfect on principal and only nudges teams up a little bit each week. His ranking never gets rebuilt, only adjusted. He doesn't watch games as much as follow them to dole out punishment. The polling community likes to be generous to undefeated teams regardless of their schedule. That's fine. DeCock will be found leading that charge. That's fine. It's just not honest.

I think we deserve higher but my only real gripe is FAU is so far ahead of us despite our convincing win over them on a neutral court.

But our SoS is so much better in conference that we will have our shots to keep moving up. The Purdue game would go a long way.

AP is a total brand popularity contest. But, at least our brand is now being regularly seen among the tops in the country. There was a good decade plus when that just was not the case. Now, it is up to the players and staff to continue to show up night in, night out and cement the brand into the national consciousness. I am beginning to believe this team might just be able to do that; but many weeks to go in this season.

When your own home town voter (Richey) has you 12 and Colo St. 5 🤷‍♂️ I mean, come on, Scott!

Even if we can’t pull off the win in West Lafayette…. I think a 8-1 January is very much on the table.

18-3 going into February and we’re not only in the top 10, but firmly in the #1 or #2 seed discussion. As well as at worst tied for #1 in the B1G. Let’s just keep it rolling fellas.
