my goals are Monday afternoon after new rankings come out, Friday mornings before weekend games, and Sunday evening or Monday morning after all games for the week are complete.

Search This Is It Furniture commercials or downer downer commercials on YouTube. It was (is?) a furniture store on the west end of Champaign near where I-72 stopped. They were truly unforgettable commercials
That's a lot of assumptions there, but sure, they're all plausible. But as of this current moment, none of those things have happened yet.
That's kind of exactly what I'm saying.
To me, the difference in likelihood (30% vs. 20% in your example), isn't great enough between those two tiers for going 8-2 to be enough evidence. Again, for me.

Very 2005-esque, with Purdue being (a lesser!) 2005 Illini, and Wisconsin/Illinois being 2005 MSU/Wisconsin. In other words, a top 5 team, two other ranked teams and a bunch of “meh” below that. With that said, I think NU is very good, and I think Nebraska is dangerous so a better middle than 2005.
This did not age well.

I never really expected Maryland to win at Breslin, but I stand by my prediction that the spread will be very tight for our rematch (likely in the range of the game in Columbus). And if that is the case, I think there is great value in Illini covering spread. I think Illini will be about -150 favorites, but a lot can change between now and then.
I finally got the joke/reference.
We can be ranked any number except for 10
Wisky should see a big drop this week with 2 straight loses
Houston will drop a couple spots but will remain top 10
KU and Marquette will jump Duke. Duke probably stay ahead of us
UK with 2 straight loses should fall behind us
Arizona will move up
ISU and Creighton will drop. Texas Tech will also drop us
So Wisky UK ISU and Creighton should be ranked behind us. Does Auburn leap frog us?
We should be 10 or 11 tomorrow

If Wiscy hadn't lost to Nebraska, I'd say that the loss to #2 Purdue wouldn't really kill them. With two losses I think the pollsters punish them this week tho, dropping them 5 or 6 spots. I'm betting Kucky drops similarly . . .

Any chance we could sneak MSU in there? The new weight of a number next to their name would be helpful.

Kinda hard to forecast a bunch of teams on that board.
And the outcome will be what it always is, not a single decision, but the aggregate of a bunch of movements on ballots that don't have the same order.
I do think there is a degree of skepticism of putting us in the single digits, which is frankly understandable when you look at the teams we've actually beaten.
Nice to see FAU getting their stuff together on that front.

Agreed - KenPom has it as a 3 point game for now and that's with no baked-in assumption that MD has our number (which I expect might be worth a point or two in Vegas).

hmmm..........we won both our games and wisky lost both their games........methinks we pass them based on those results...JMHO..
We should, but I think the pollsters don't believe in us.

Agreed, I am with you. I really think this is the year we make the second weekend.
