[Stardust]

Looking at the schedules, the top five will be the same next week

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Agreed

You cant really go against Syracuse with there win over power houses like Providence and Marquette

[Mr. Pike Central]

Marquette might give Syracuse some fits.

[LWC]

Did UK jump Duke?

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Nope we were already number 3.
Ohio State fell.
Lville was 4, they fell after 2 straight losses and i believe duke as fifth with Carolina 6th last week.

[Mr. Pike Central]

UK was #3?

Ohio St. was #2, they lost.

UK #2?

[LWC]

I forgot about OSU. Thanks.

[Aslan]

Cuse loses this week. UK back where they belong. Yeah.

[Spud6]

I'm good at #2. We don't have to be #1 to satisfy me!

[ekff]

IU should be in top 10.

UK's third "toughest" game was against a team Cuse play's twice..


That was real cute.

[Overrated]

Lets look at RPI-SOS

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketba...rpi/index1


This is before Conf play, and anybody knows Big East is better than SEC, So Cuse is only gonna go higher.

[itzAmazing]

The top 4 now may be your eventual four number one seeds come tournament time. It remains to be seen though. Conference play will tell us who the best teams are, really.

Bernie thinks your real cute too overrated

[Overrated]

I think he is too

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Syracuse loses within the next two weeks.

[Junior-Battle]

No way for Florida to get into the top 10 this week.

[Aslan]

^
Syracuse loses within the next two weeks.

Marquette is taking them down.

[HawksRule]

Murray State 40-0 lol

[Overrated]

PM Me, Love to meet and gamble on these statements.

[DSRfan]

Cuse loses this week. UK back where they belong. Yeah.

Looking at the Cuse's schedule, they shouldn't lose before late February.
But Boeheim is still their coach. So they will lose, and soon.

HAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....Love it
