looks like #19 is a good bet this week

As I said, all the real action was today. I'm adding Stanford for a pretty obvious reason.

12. Stanford - lost to #10 Arizona State and Arizona
14. Texas A&M - beat Missouri and lost to #17 Mississippi State
15. Duke - beat #8 Louisville, Wake Forest and Clemson
16. Iowa - beat Ohio State and Wisconsin
17. Mississippi State - beat #14 Texas A&M
18. Princeton - beat Columbia and Cornell
19. Nebraska - lost to RU and #5 Maryland
20. Texas - lost to Kansas State and #3 Baylor
22. Georgia - lost to #1 South Carolina
23. Chattanooga - beat East Tennessee State
24. George Washington - beat Davidson and Dayton
25. Syracuse - lost to #8 Florida State, beat #13 North Carolina and Georgia Tech

Hard to imagine not passing Texas and Nebraska this week. I would guess that TAMU won't fall far enough to help, but Stanford had an understandable loss and a really, really bad one, so I don't know what's going to happen there.

Like Tennessee, Stanford likely won't drop more than 2 spots based on their recent past successes.

Stanford is ridiculously overrated. They now have 7 losses, including today to a 1-10 PAC 12 team. I have no idea how they beat UConn early in the season, but that ship has sailed. Its time for them to stop being propped up due to it. I wouldn't even have them in my top 25.

Won't happen. I predict they will be 15 or higher!

yeah the name schools always get passes, Stanford will be protected not only in the rankings but by the NCAA committee, you know they will be a 3 or 4 seed or 5 at absolute worst

Looks like I was wrong. Stanford drops to #19 one behind us. We are now 18.
