Not talking about national championship. More about Mich, tOSU, Ped St, Wash, Oregon, all in the top 10 and others in the top 25

In football Mich, tOSU, Ped St, Wash, Oregon, all in the top 10 and others in the top 25. That IMHO makes us a football conference. ACC ?????? They aren't in my post or my thoughts

FWIW, Bilas posted a very detailed "Top 68" teams this morning, with Illinois at #8. It looks like he wrote it before PU and Houston lost though.
ESPN+, but here it is.

speaking of polls. Maybe the definitive answer to are we elite and best program to not win a national title in the "modern age" of college basketball.

Just keep winning. If we take care of business tonight and Sunday, hopefully 8th or 9th. Maybe higher if Arizona loses on Saturday as well.
ratings schmatings! one person popularity poll.
Just win baby!

Hard to tell with so many losses, but I think the top 4 remain the same but shuffle, UNC moves to 5 Tenn and Kentucky slide back. Illinois could land at 7, they absolutely should pass OK, possibly Arizona, but I am concerned that poll darlings Duke could benefit from the losses and end up at 7 or 8 and leave Illinois no higher than 9 despite all the chaos.
I could see that happening but I’d be ticked. Duke barely scraped by a bad Georgia Tech team. They have no business moving up ahead of us if we win against Maryland.

I get the impression from listening to Parrish that he doesn't actually enjoy doing the Top 25 and 1, but he has said it consistently gets the most clicks so he's got to keep doing it.
Everything will shake out in the next few weeks now that teams can't hide behind cupcakes anymore. I am actually interested to see how Houston's season goes... their computer numbers are still so high that they are supposedly favored in every game remaining, but I would not be surprised if oddsmakers begin to disagree for upcoming games (@BYU, @Texas, @Kansas...)
Okay, but if we "barely scrape by" at home, throw out that philosophy. Gotta win it fairly big or it's not good.

Seriously … beating a bad Maryland team by one frickin’ point could have had us pushing the top five.
