Gaining points, even if the teams directly a head of you all lose (even twice) is damn near impossible apparently.

It just takes time, especially when 'quality wins' are hard to come by.

Agreed, it can be frustrating. I do think the pollsters have shown WSU and UNI pretty solid respect so far this year though.

Here's to hoping we can both win out between now and our matchup on the 31st.

Agreed. UNI could have fallen off the face of the earth in the polls with the Evansville loss but stayed at 26 AP and 23 coaches at that point.

It just sucks to see so many teams in front lose but no ground made up in votes and teams leap in front that were way behind last week.

Will be interesting to see where UNI sits 5 games from now. Would be really nice for them to solidify themselves in the teens by the time they play host to WSU. I'd really like the winner of that game to grab a great win, and the loser to keep a spot solidly in the Top 25.

A 19-2 UNI team would probably be about 15?


UNI hosts TREES and in Normal against the BIRDS, before a game against SHOX. And, you've already pegged them at 19-2.
Now that's funny.

Evansville fans are as good at logic as Marty is at getting a winning conference record...or keeping his lost weight lost

Congrats to UNI for moving back into the top 25. I really like your team. Nice inside and outside balance. It would be great to get 2 teams in the tourney this year.

I think it's more likely that UNI is undefeated between now and then than WSU. I like the odds of both but it's hard to win on the road and teams ALMOST always lose to teams they shouldn't.
