Not much movement today. There is only one slight change in the top 10 in either poll but it does involve the Hoyas. Georgetown is now #9 in both the AP and Coaches Polls. That's only fair since they beat Missouri in Missouri earlier this season. Missouri was #9 but now they are #10 in the AP.
There are currently 7 Big East teams ranked in both polls - Connecticut, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Villanova, Georgetown, Notre Dame, and Louisville. Cincinnati remains as one of the 8 unbeatens in the nation but they still find themselves in the "others receiving votes" part of the polls because they haven't really beaten anybody yet.
Of course that all changes starting this week with conference play. It's time to play all of your best friends in the country until mid-March. It all starts with Connecticut at Pittsburgh tonight. I'm not sure who I hate more - Calhoun or Dixon. If I have to pick a school to win tonight, I'm picking Pitt. Forgive me Father for I have sinned.
I think it's cute how the media is really all in on San Diego State. I feel like Central Florida, Old Dominion, and Cleveland State are just as worthy from the ranks of the mid-majors. In fact I think all of those schools are better than Memphis. It's criminal that the Tigers are still ranked.
Right now Georgetown is in a two horse race with Kansas in the RPI rankings. The Hoyas are sitting in the 2 hole right now but it moves back and forth daily.
A quick scan of how the media voted Georgetown in the AP poll shows that all of their votes were between 5 and 12. One of the guys who wasn't even voting for the Hoyas 2 weeks ago now has them at 12. It's nice to see that he finally bought himself a TV.
OK I need to give the Independence Bowl more of my attention.
Peace brah
