I honestly think if we play the way we should we shouldn't have to worry about even getting close to losing a game til February. If we really handle business we don't have Wichita til late Feb, we could go undefeated the next two months
Jon I'm thinking the same thing. Time to get on a roll. Team is starting to play well. Roles have been defined and we have played enough games to understand what we do best.

Quick look at Next weeks schedule and it isn't filled with really any great games, I see a few potential upsets but that's about it. Probably not gonna be a great week for a big jump for the cats. I see about 7-8 games that could potentionally result in an upset. My guess, 2 teams lose and cats make it back in the top 20 in the coaches and 18 in the AP.

I agree I think we really gelled in the UCLA game and if we can win there on the road I'm a lot less worried about our conference road games, only one other than Wichita I'm concerned at all with is SMU, I just don't think anyone else in the conference has enough to beat us this year.

if we keeping winning in conference I think that is when you will see are biggest jump. Others teams ahead of us will start taking some losses in conference.

Or Kansas. Who barely escaped Nebraska and just doesn’t look good yet never drops too far

Some pollsters haven't even seen some of these teams play yet. They will become more accurate as the season goes on.

You shouldn’t be allowed to vote if you don’t watch a Ton of basketball.

I can legit say that I’ve seen every team I voted for in the reddit poll at least once and most multiple times

Imo the Reddit poll is better then the AP poll

the voters dont watch, the coaches dont even do the voting themselves for a lot of teams in the coaches.


the polls really are a waste of time anymore. fill in big name that is always good and go from there. shift them a little when teams lose.

Agreed. By end of year the polls may be more accurate but now they are a joke.
