    Yeah Penn State pulling out a win last night would have been big.

    Damn, nailed it! Tech tied with zags at 6.

    Honestly surprised we're still 4.

    AP voters are getting better, less predictable. There was a time when knee-jerk reactions to a loss would be the only thing that mattered. Now it seems they are doing more "body-of-work" comparisons. I think #4 is still correct for us. I don't see a better resume.

    Of course, part of what helped was that everyone else lost as well. Cinci lost twice, Purdue split (And was lucky at that), Tech Split (With a win over plummeting OU), OSU dropped 2...etc.

    So what happens Monday? Does X jump Nova? Or if rest of top 5 wins, does everything just stay the same?

    I expect Nova to fall a couple spots.

    Just feels weird to put an X team ahead of a Nova team with an identical record because of what Nova did to X this year...

    I think we jump em. Not that it matters that much. If we both take care of business, we'll have a third matchup with the second #1 seed likely at stake. Possibly #1 overall if Virginia stumbles.

    Is this one of those situations where Villanova is a bad matchup for X but X might be the better team?

    I don't think this but I'm playing devils advocate.
