Maryland has to be the most
Need a Pitt and KSU win today for RPI purposes
Also, i think we get help if Purdue beats WVU.
I agree and if anything I'll
I agree and if anything I'll root for these teams. But what's so great at this point...We don't need anything. We're so damn good that we just need to win a "few" more games and a 3-seed at the least will easily happen.
3 seed? At this point that'd
3 seed? At this point that'd be a pretty big disappointment. We have a legitimate shot at a #1 seed. If you can survive the regular season with five losses or fewer in a major conference (which I think we can), it's a real possibility.
Yes for sure
Yes for sure, but not that it matters much.

Off topic but ESPN really
Off topic but ESPN really needs to start actually researching what they write. They stated Alabama only had 2 guys enter the draft early when in fac they had 4.
I'm on record as saying
I'm on record as saying Maryland is decent and close to turning the corner to becoming relevant again. I'm wrong. Maryland is terrible. This game can't even be fun to watch if you're a Tarheel fan.
And I'm on record
From the past-future saying that Maryland lost to unc big.
Arkansas at Mississippi - 1:45p
Mississippi is looking like the real deal, having knocked off Mizzou rather easily in their last game. My guess is they shouldn't have too much trouble with the Hogs but it would be nice if Arkansas could pull off the upset.

Oh, and you forgot (12) Creighton @ Wichita State.

Kind of, but neither have anything to do with UM and it's not a top 25 matchup. I may tune in to see Doug McDermott tho

Top-25
I think the OP was just noting matchups between two ranked teams (or former M opponents), but certainly Wichita State (ranked just outside the top-25) will give Creighton everything they can handle at the Shockers' home court.
Additionally, Arizona (7) at Arizona State should be a good game.

Is there a difference for RPI
Is there a difference for RPI in the outcome of the Purdue/WVU game? Is it better for an ooc opponent to have an extra win or an in conference opponent who you play twice?

Texas leads Kansas 28-26 at halftime but KU finished the half strong and Texas is turrible so I don't think this will last. It would be nice to have KU and Louisville lose to give us a bump in the polls

Been watching hoops most of the day...
glad my Panthers could pull out a win after a bit of a scare against UConn, and caught most of the first half of Purdue v. WVU, but I just flipped over to the NHL season opener (Chicago at LA). I know a lot of people said they wouldn't, but I'll gladly watch good hockey given the opportunity.
As an aside, and something NBA fans might be able to answer for me, how long has that jumbotron been up in the Staples Center? That thing is enormous and has a pretty unique design.

Pretty hilarious end to the PSU-Neb game
PSU goes 1-6 on the FT line in the last 24 seconds to lose by 4
Texas just opened
Texas just opened up a 42-31 lead over Kansas with 15:21 left in the second. Would be big if Kansas were to lose, as that would guarantee us moving up to at least 3rd in the new rankings. If Louisville were to lose, we would move up to 2, and possibly one if voters feel our win over Minnesota warrants us jumping Duke.
Also, while Purdue has looked good, lets keep in mind that WVU is a pretty crappy team.
Practice makes perfect. Unless you're the Buckeyes. Then you have to cheat.
Duke also beat Minnesota
Duke also beat Minnesota (albeit on a neutral court). And their other wins (Kentucky, VCU, Louisville, Ohio St, Temple) are considerably better than ours. I would be shocked if we jumped them.
And syracuse will jump us
And syracuse will jump us with their win over louisville
Damn it.....
Kansas came back and beat Texas. Oh well. Purdue blows out WVU!
ACC has Duke, NC St. and then
ACC has Duke, NC St. and then a whole bunch of nothing really. Miami is probably a tournament team, Maryland has played nobody, and FSU is about to rack up a 4th awful loss. The ACC is suppose to be a basketball conference.

We'll probably be fourth, behind Duke, Kansas and Syracuse (who will leapfrog us - justifiably so - for beating the #1 team on the road).
And down goes #1 Louisville
Exciting day in college bball.

Syracuse comes from behind to win at Louisville. Who knows if they will fall enough in the rankings or not for us to pass them, but they do have 2 losses now. Syracuse will probably pass us tho

New top five

5) Louisville
Kansas and Cuse will likely
Kansas and Cuse will likely be ranked ahead of us, same with Duke. I think we are 4th
HAIL.
I think Michigan will be
I think Michigan will be third at the lowest. We will jump Indiana, Louisville, and possibly Kansas since they struggled today.
Syracuse could jump us
Syracuse could jump us though.
Yep will probably be:
1.
Yep will probably be:
1. Duke
2/3- Michigan or Syracuse
4. Kansas
It's tough, because Cuse has
It's tough, because Cuse has a much worse loss (Temple) than us, but a better win (#1 Louisville, obviously). Cuse also has a weak schedule in my opinion. They are one-defeated, like us, yes, but against SDSU, Louisville, and who else? Air?
Villanova, Rutgers, Arkansas, USF are their toughest games until now, save the two mentioned above. They haven't been proven wrong yet exactly, and beating #1 is kind of an indication of being good, but I don't think they should have been #6 in the first place and therefore shouldn't be #2/#3.
But they were 6, so yeah they'll probably jump us. Might even be Duke-Cuse-UM. Disagree as we might.
We'll get some first place votes I'd think. More than the 1.

Rooting for MSU because I think OSU is the better team. IMO MSU has at least two games left in them where they will self-implode and shoot themselves in the foot.
Maryland has to be the most undisciplined team in the nation. This is pathetic. If this continues UNC is going to win by 40.
