Rankings-Where will we tomorrow? 01/21/19, Guesses?

[ScarletteK80]

I say at least #17 based on all the games today, but we shall see. BeK is probably working on all the scores right now.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

They were 17. Maybe we switch places?

Looking at the teams from 10 to 20 in the AP poll:

#10 Oregon State: Lost to #19 Arizona State; beat Arizona
#11 Texas: Lost to Kansas State; beat TCU
#12 Syracuse: Lost to Georgia Tech; beat Pittsburgh
#13 Gonzaga: Lost to Brigham Young, beat San Diego State
#14 Marquette: Beat Seton Hall & St. John's
#15 South Carolina: Lost to #7 Mississippi State
#16 Kentucky: Beat LSU
#17 Michigan State: Beat #9 Maryland; lost to Ohio State & #20 Rutgers
#18 Iowa State: Lost to West Virginia, beat Oklahoma
#19 Arizona State: Lost to #5 Oregon; beat #10 Oregon State
#20 Tennessee: Lost to Alabama

The obviously vulnerable teams here are Gonzaga (which will get punished for a loss to a team that's nowhere near being ranked), Iowa State, and Tennessee (which ought to drop out of the top 25). Realistically speaking, Oregon State won't drop behind RU after a 2OT loss on the road. The other teams that lost - Syracuse, South Carolina, Michigan State, and Arizona State - all have mitigating factors, like that the losses weren't a surprise, wins against teams ranked ahead of them, or just being ranked pretty far ahead of RU.

I'd say would be a surprise not to move up at least one spot; if Gonzaga gets punished badly, it could be as many as 3 or 4.

My guess is 16

ASU/OSU played in Corvallis.

My guess: no higher than 17 in AP and 19 in Coaches´ Poll.

 

[RUgrad]

I'm thinking 15th. Lots of losses ahead of us. RU will jump MSU, Iowa St, Gonzaga, ASU, and the Cuse.
