New ESPN Rankings

Haven't seen the AP rankings yet, but I would suspect that we are in a similar spot to ESPN's # 22 slot. Seems fair given we have the meat of the Big East schedule coming up. Agree with Jester's Rick Flair quote (if it were professionally acceptable, I'd be making the accompanying sound effect as well. know that i'm doing it on the inside). From what little I've seen, I would think WV would be a smidge higher than Pitt; but, admittedly, I'm basing that solely off of BE standings.

Not to keep bashing the crap out of GW, but somebody at ESPN please explain to me how the # 1 and undefeated WV team is ranked a slot behind GW?!! Is being tops of the A10 superior to tops of the hands-down nastiest conference? I want to be there at the end of the season waving goodbye to the Colonials they zoom down the rankings & out of post season.

As far as our schedule, I'm almost more scared of playing St. John's again & visiting Marquette than I am of heading to Nova.

17th in AP. It's been a long long long long time.

By the way, in latest Bracketology, we'd be a #7 seed. That seems pretty accurate to me. I think if we have a couple more big wins, we might end up a 5 seed; but, staying a 7 seed would be fine. (GW is a predicted 6 seed. Glad to see somebody is looking at them correctly.)

GW better hope it gets a 6 or higher or else it will get knocked out in the first round.
