We're #2 with (23) first place votes in the AP poll that was just released.

As I expected, but I'm good with it.
Roll Tide!

It might not be a popular opinion but I think it is good that they are #2 instead of #1. It gives them something to remain focused on and to chase.

Ok just looking at the breakdown of the remaining schedule ... if we can remain undefeated past our matchup with Tennessee, there's a solid chance we can go undefeated the remainder of the season. Even if we lost during the SEC tournament, it won't affect our rankings enough to drop past a 2 seed.

The great thing for us is, they are also keep Tenn ranked high so we will have some cushion if we somehow lose that game. If we do win, however, I won't be surprised if this team is ranked number #1 after that week.

One game at a time though, Miss State will be out for blood and playing Okie on the road won't be an easy feat.

I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams would have thought we would be looking at being a 1 seed and undefeated in the SEC before the season started. Astonishing stuff.

I figured we would be #2. Nobody looks at the games, they just see 19-1 vs 17-2 and that both teams won last week.

It was 20 years ago the last time we were ranked this high. In that season we made #1. We then finished the reason unranked with a record of 17-12 and were bounced in the first round of the tournament.

Bitter memories.

That team never really seemed like a #1 team. This one does.

We opened that year with a win over a very good OU team. Then beat a middling Providence and tOSU. Our first loss was against a very good Utah team. The SEC was good that year though - Miss St, Auburn, LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Kentucky all had good teams. A shame because we had some good players on that team.

Ah, more records in the Pearl era. Sure is fun being consistently good.

If you're gonna have a rough patch this isn't a bad time to do it.

Kansas has lost 3 in a row and plays at a suddenly resurgent Kentucky this weekend.

Purdue beat Gonzaga by 18 In Portland.

We are now 4th in the AP and 5th in the Coaches. Hopefully we can get back on the right side of being hungry this week and take a diet from the rat poison

Tennessee is 2nd in both polls ... hopefully that will help in our focus.
