Did we really get bumped down to 22 in the nation?

How do you get a grind out W on the road and then blow away a pretty good Penn St. team at home and get bumped down a spot?

I was expecting them to move up to 18 or 19. Maybe I was something different than everyone else in the world.

Don't think that's accurate, as the polls usually aren't out by now.

Note #3 UNC and #4 Wake Forest when Wake just beat them last night. Also, Louisville beat Villanova, which would change their rankings, and BC lost to Harvard (but they're still ranked #17 in that poll). I don't think the poll is updated with this week's rankings, just the W-L records.

I'm pretty sure what you have linked right now is the AP poll concerning last week. The AP is usually not released until later in the day.

Yea, Baylor and Louisville tied at 289 votes, and us with 290, definitely happened last week.

The poll is old but they update the records as they happen which is why it says "last updated" as today.
