Week 8 Rankings

There's still a game or two left, but if they become upsets, we could always update.

Remember, last Sunday's games count towards this week's rankings, so Villanova technically lost twice this week, and Michigan State's loss at Wisconsin came this week.

1) Duke
2) Connecticut
3) Pittsburgh
4) Illinois
5) Texas
6) Villanova
7) George Washington
8) Washington
9) Florida
10) Wisconsin
11) Memphis
12) Gonzaga
13) Michigan State
14) Indiana
15) Ohio State
16) West Virginia
17) UCLA
18) Michigan
19) Xavier
20) Iowa
21) Tennessee
22) Air Force
23) Wichita State
24) North Carolina State
25) Manhattan - Great inspirational story. They started out 0-4, but they turned it around and have been 10-0 since (6-0 in conference play). They deserve this spot more than Louisville, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Syracuse, fours teams who get way more national spotlight than they deserve.

 

Here's what I have going:

1. Duke
2. UConn
3. Illinois
4. Texas
5. Pittsburgh
6. Villanova
7. Florida
8. Memphis
9. Washington
10. Gonzaga
11. Wisconsin
12. Michigan State
13. George Washington
14. Indiana
15. Ohio State
16. West Virginia
17. North Carolina State
18. Louisville
19. Iowa
20. UCLA
21. Michigan
22. Nevada
23. Xavier
24. Tennessee
25. Southern Illinois

Seeing how we all had Ohio State at least #6 or higher, and lately we've been publishing our polls with a lot of teams high ranked who just lost, I think we should count Sunday's games. UK and I have already updated ours, so that just means that CK needs to update, and the other people who post theirs just need to include today's games.

Key games -

Pittsburgh - 61, Louisville - 57 @ UL
2OT - Michigan State - 62, Ohio State - 59 @ OSU
Maryland - 90, Wake Forest - 86 @ MD

Well man, you're 4-0 in the Big Ten and only have two losses overall (and to decent teams at that). Forget your talent level. Your resume looks damn nice.
