2 votes in the AP Poll.

Actually, one No. 24 vote from John Feinstein, who also gave VCU all of its points by voting it No. 22.

It is because of our record not because of us beating WKU again who we would have played again away. The assertion that this is due to bonus play is dumb.

So you don't think it helped us to beat WKY instead of UTEP?

It likely would have been Charlotte, WKU, Marshal, and FAU as our final 4 games if you look at the women's schedule. So we would have played them anyway. This had nothing to do with POD play. A win against WKU helps but it would have been part of our normal schedule.

We would not have had WKU at home again without pod play.

True.....but if we are good enough we should be able to win @WKU.

Please...NO more points in polls or, God forbid, a ranking. My superstitious streak says it would mean doom for these last few games. Don't mess with karma, mojo whatever!

So we want to be good enough to receive votes but fly under the radar and not receive any recognition. At least we have our metrics to hold us back.

ODU gets some points in the rankings and we argue.

Never change Lion's Den.

Never settle. We are taking the motto a different way. Besides what do we have to talk until we face the road peckers.

And there are only 2 pages on the thread for ODU getting Top 25 votes...
and 3 pages about fecesU.

So Monarchs, LOL

At least there's content to read everyday. Should we just wait to post until the game thread? That would be a pretty dead message board. By the way, circle jerking about how awesome we are isn't the best stuff to read either.

In other news, praise John Feinstein

He is a miserable dude. And he's NEVER wrong about anything. Although in this case maybe we can cut him some slack in that dept. At least for today.

Looks like another voter put us at 25. VA guy.

Keep winning until the title game and who knows? A 27-7 team that is just outside (or even in) the Top 25 will be hard to keep out.

Of course, 28-6 will guarantee that we will get in. But we do have a shot at an at-large, and that's all you can ask for at this point.
