I don't know for sure, but it would be great if they did.
They might need a couple more B1G wins with no losses...
Whadya think?
I just saw the AP top 25 on ESPN too.Just missed the top 25. Gophers received 56 votes in the AP poll.
A bit disappointing seeing them unranked, but unranked this early in the year is not a bad place either. Keeps a chip on the old shoulder.I'm glad they aren't ranked yet. I'd rather see the Gophers beat Northwestern (and OSU) before we talk rankings. Pitino is 1-4 against Collins.
Cautiously optimistic.
Part of the problem the the preseason polls. Due to last year.....we were expected to be trash and were ranked as such. We had to make up a lot of ground that other teams did not. 13-2 with losses against FSU and MSU and a road win against Purdue would be enough for most teams to be ranked.
29th in the Coaches Poll with only 9 votes.....
Am I missing something here? South Carolina has 23 votes in the coaches poll but not a single one in the AP?
It's ridiculous they only have nine votes in coaches poll. Oh well, it's one week with a long season ahead. Just kind of dumb how much preseason rankings affect the rest of the season rankings.
True. But that basically meaningless number signifies relevance. Boosts both fan and potential recruit interest.Who cares about rankings at this point, so many games left. They'll be ranked accurately at the end of the season and that's when ranking actually matters.
I wonder how often the head coach assigns an assistant to take care of the vote in the coaches poll. The assistant fills out the form, forwards to the HC, who sends it in.
Not even an assistant. It's managers. And they don't have time to do it/watch games either.

I thought most schools have their basketball SDI handle the ballot.
