2024-25 Rankings

All of the results yesterday made it difficult for St. John's to move up in the the rankings. #1 and #2 lost, but we're not passing them. #6 Florida is a team I thought we could pass, but after they upset #1 that's obviously not happening. #5 Houston almost lost but pulled away during the last minute. Yesterday really solidified the resumes of #3-6, so barring anything crazy we're not entering the top 6.

That leaves #7-11, so here's how they did:
#7 Purdue: W @ Iowa, W Vs. USC - it's possible we'll pass them but I'm leaning toward no
#8 Iowa St: L @ #16 Kansas, W Vs TCU - I think we'll pass them, they've now lost 3/4
#9 Michigan St: L @ UCLA, W Vs Oregon - I definitely think we'll pass them
#10 Texas A&M: W @ South Carolina, W @ #15 Missouri - two very close Ws, I think we'll pass them
#11 Marquette: L @ #12 St. John's, L @ Creighton - we'll pass them
#12 St. John's: W Vs #11 Marquette, W @ #19 UConn - everyone knows the results but had to type out again :)

Today's results won't matter, no teams will pass us regardless of what happens today.

I'm guessing we'll be #8, plus or minus one spot. I think #7 (passing everyone listed above including Purdue) also has a decent shot at happening. CBS / Parrish for instance moved us up 9 spots to #8 after our win on Friday, passing a lot of teams that hadn't lost.

If we're #9 our ranking will be the highest since 2000
If we're #8 our ranking will be the highest since 1999
If we're #7 our ranking will be the highest since 1991

No matter where we're at tomorrow, it'll be a phenomenal ranking for our program.

I could have sworn they got up to #7 in 98-99.

Now I'm going to have to do alittle research.

You're right, not a big deal, but had to check.
I'm one of those people that i'd be wondering all day about it.

After this week, they can no longer use the argument that we haven’t beaten anyone. And we are three close calls from being undefeated.

1. Screw job with the timer vs Baylor
2. Wilcher dribbling the ball off his foot after a steal that would’ve potentially put us up vs Georgia
3. No call on Luis vs Creighton

We should be top 5 if there wasn’t bias involved.
And yes I know I conveniently left off close calls the other way 😎
 
The NET is constantly moving and there still can be change. Home win against Marquette although extremely unlikely could be Q2, At Butler game while also extremely unlikely could wind up Q1. Creighton and UCONN at home are both currently Q2 but either could flip. Like someone said almost impossible but New Mexico could wind up Q1. Too much to track.

Another huge week with possibly two Quad 1 games. Lets keep it going.
 
Gary Parrish has SJU at 8.


I think he's right on us being 8.

But he's viewing Auburn from the longview seeding committee perspective. I don't think AP voters are that analytical and are more about the short view. They'll drop teams that lost and elevate teams that won, which is why I think Bama will be No. 1 tomorrow. But regardless of order, I think SEC will hold top 4 spots.

I could actually see us reaching 7 in the coaches poll.
