Cards ranked 23rd in AP Poll

As far as national rankings go, it was sort of a rough week to notch two statement wins as none of the teams ranked 18-25 in last weeks' Associated Press Top 25 lost. Louisville did, however, manage to reenter the AP Poll at No. 23 today. The Cards were left out of the ESPN/USA Today Poll.

AP Top 25:

  1. Memphis (72) 23-0 1,800
  2. Duke 21-1 1,714
  3. Kansas 23-1 1,662
  4. Tennessee 21-2 1,553
  5. North Carolina 22-2 1,511
  6. UCLA 21-3 1,383
  7. Stanford 20-3 1,354
  8. Georgetown 19-3 1,207
  9. Butler 21-2 1,132
  10. Michigan State 20-3 1,071
  11. Texas 19-4 1,014
  12. Xavier 20-4 962
  13. Indiana 20-3 933
  14. Drake 22-1 863
  15. Wisconsin 19-4 816
  16. Texas A&M 20-4 713
  17. Connecticut 18-5 658
  18. Kansas State 17-5 486
  19. Purdue 19-5 467
  20. Notre Dame 18-4 465
  21. Washington State 18-5 419
  22. Pittsburgh 18-5 301
  23. Louisville 18-6 246
  24. Vanderbilt 20-4 222
  25. Saint Mary's 20-3 204

Can we play Basketball BCS?
Can we play Basketball BCS?

National Championship: Kansas vs. Memphis.

Kansas sneaks in over an outraged Duke with help from USAToday Harris poll.

Sugar Bowl: Tennessee vs. Georgetown

Rose Bowl : UCLA vs. Stanford

Fiesta bowl  : Duke us Butler

Butler gets the bid as the sexy at large from a mid-major vs. the ACC champion.

Orange Bowl    : Indiana vs. UNC

The Tarheels get the other at large bid.

I like the BCS basketball Idea... the only thing... wouldn't it have to be Indiana-UCLA in the rose bowl

Yes, you are right.
In my defense, it felt like I was fitting a square peg in a round hole. I would reverse UCLA and Indiana if given the ability.

See
This is why the BCS sucks.

Actually, Purdue is leading the Big 10
(by a half game).  Who wouldn't tune in for UCLA v. Purdue?  

K. State is only a 1/2 game behind Kansas, too (and would own the tie breaker).

ESPN-USA Top 25
My first reaction that we have not creased the Top 25 was of disappointment.  My second reaction was of disappointment.

But really, everybody, this is a small order of fries in the grand scheme of things.

Let us just  M A I N T A I N.  Indeed, let us just continue to thrive, and we will get all of the notice and higher rankings that we deserve.

I wonder if Nova can beat Georgetown tonight.  Have a good one everybody, Roz

We're 17th or so in the R.P.I. where it counts
I say let's keep the boys hungry...rank us 23rd?  Fine, FTW, just keep winning.
