Despite a 4-1 start to the season that includes a true road win over the (then No. 6) Florida Gators, the Florida State men’s basketball team remains just outside the latest AP Poll.
How close are the Seminoles to being ranked? No. 25 Xavier (which just lost to UF) has 139 points. FSU, at No. 26, has 137. The 5-2 Gators are No. 24. The ’Noles are currently smoking the hapless Chicago State Cougars, and if they beat No. 17 Tennessee in Niceville, FL on Friday, they’ll definitely be ranked for the first time this year.
