I'm looking forewad to the OSU Marquette game. If OSU pulls off that upset does that get us ranked or do you think they will end up getting more votes than us even though we dominated them from beginning to end?

I think you know the answer to your own question.

Here is how it works:

When a non-traditional power loses to a traditional power this is taken as "proof that you can't beat a quality opponent"

When a traditional power loses to a non-traditional power it is taken as "a let down in the midst of their tough schedule" or proof that the big name team "wasn't as good as everyone thought"

If OSU wins they will get more votes than us. This will help us in the SOS and rpi thats it.

The 'belt is taking beating tonight. One bright spot: Ark-LR beat Centenary. A win over UTA suggests we should be able to beat Ark-LR and Centenary, though it never seems to work out that way.
