My answer to the first is maybe as the loss to SFA may still hurt us.My answer to the second is yes,two straight wins vs. Top 20 teams has earned it for Jeff and the guys.

Gonzaga was rated. I don't believe Arkansas was.

Well, they were ranked in my mind, so that counts!

No and no. Now, go on the road and give them mountain goats an *** whipping and then we are talking top 20. I wish that game wasn't a whole week away because the Sooners are riding on a bit of momentum now.

Did I mention our RPI ranking is now #39 and Stoolwater High is #102? :D

No, but we will get votes again.

Yep. I'd say about 30th or so among the others getting votes. A win over WV would launch us well into the top 25, a loss and we probably don't quite crack the top 25 this year thought we could be close.

You are right the Pigs aren't rated,I was going by an anouncers comment after the Zag game.I checked and no Pig rating but Zags were #18 when we knocked them off.

The Pig win looks a little less impressive than it did yesterday. They lost to Appalachian State in Little Rock today.

The boys looked good... but... not good enough for the voters IMHO... They need to beat up on WV if there is any chance of breaking 25-20...

My answer is take care of WVA a Top 25 team, Rice a crappy team and Mt St Marys and then OU deserves to be in the Top 25 going into big 12 play.

I actually think they have a chance to do it if the team that showed up for SFA dosen't show up again.

In fact they will be creeping into the Top 20 if that happens.

Uh .... in terms of the AP Poll, I don't believe it does ! :)

(just the Sooner Fans poll)

If the Sooners can get a win over West Va., perhaps several more voters might take notice.

We're 46th in the RPI as of this morning. Arkansas loss to Appy State hurts-- the Hogs dropped all the way to 80th.

But The Big 12 is well represented in the RPI, and I am almost 100% positive that a 9-7 Big 12 record would probably get us in the dance this year, assuming we had some quality wins in there and did decently in the Big 12 tourney.

As for the original question:

Will they be ranked? No

Should they? No, not yet.

The SFA loss still looks pretty bad, and we definitely need to beat WV if we want to have an arguement in terms of being ranked. Beat WV and I'll say we deserve a number before our name.

As I was saying,NOW that we have two Top25 wins we SHOULD be in the TOP 25.I have to admit that I thought this was an L going into the game.We are now back on track to 21 wins as this win balances out for the projected win over SFA.We have 2 non con games left that we should win and given how we are playing I see 9-7 in the Big 12 as very possible.In fact if we continue at this level I can see a top 4 finish in the Big 12.

In fact if we continue at this level I can see a top 4 finish in the Big 12. I think that the team is the 4th best team in the conference right now. If UTerus keeps playing like that, and we keep playing like tonight, we may be higher than 4th.

We SHOULD be in the next top 25 poll. Our last 3 wins could come in handy come tourney selection time as well.

Sagarin has us ranked 26th as of this morning. If we plow through our last 2 non-con games and beat KSU at home, I think we'll creep into the low 20s, high teens in the rankings. Going to KU after that is going to be extremely tough, though.

We came in close in the AP poll, 3rd most votes after number 25. I figure this is about right considering we had NO votes last week. We're close, a couple more wins and we'll be in.

I think we are actually tied for #32 right now in the USA/ESPN pole
