It is Christmas day, but it is also Monday afternoon, so that means we have some new rankings. Instead of moving up on merit (which we should be doing) we moved up two spots, mostly because of who lost in front of us. We’re now 14th in the AP Poll, our highest spot this year:
- Villanova (43) 1,600
- Michigan State (16) 1,560
- Arizona State (6) 1,481
- Duke 1,435
- Texas A&M 1,309
- Xavier 1,242
- West Virginia 1,226
- Wichita State 992
- Virginia 969
- TCU 923
- Kansas 920
- Oklahoma 901
- North Carolina 891
- Purdue 839
- Miami (FL) 827
- Kentucky 735
- Arizona 511
- Baylor 437
- Tennessee 405
- Gonzaga 382
- Cincinnati 377
- Texas Tech 351
- Seton Hall 227
- Florida State 169
- Creighton 143
The coaches poll has not been released yet, and I don’t know if there will be one this week.
