Kentucky 6, A&M up 10 spots to 8, Florida at 9, Alabama moved up 7 spots after losing to Minn, now at 18.

Doesn't surprise me, Alabama getting a lot of sympathy for ending the game with only 3 players.  The fact that they cut the lead to 5 is probably a bit over-hyped as I'm sure Minnesota coasted a bit at that point.

So...are we still not ranked?

[010HogFan]

The poll isn't even out yet...

These must be the weekly rankings from Gary Parrish, a columnist at CBSSports.com.   The AP and coaches' rankings should post pretty soon.

ESPN just released their power index and we weren't on their top 25. 

[Adam Stokes]

Got 17 votes in the AP poll, coming in at #33, up from #39 last week. Seems like USA Today gave us more love last week at #33, so we may get closer to cracking the Top 25 there.

The other polls are interesting but the AP poll is the one that really matters to me. Goes back for years to when the AP and UPI polls were the two polls everybody checked weekly.

It's a long season.  I hope we continue to remain unranked and "disrespected."   I think we thrive on that "us against the world" mentality.

If we close out the pre-conference season strong with wins at Houston and against Minnesota, we will be ranked going into SEC play, which sets us up nicely to work our way into a high seed come tourney time, especially with the respect the SEC is getting this year.

[Hogs49ers]

We are #16 on teamrankings.com - their rankings seem to be more accurate than any and do a really good job on early season rankings.  The AP poll and basically all polls will be much better and more accurate later in the season, but I think it is silly to follow the out dated AP poll this early in the season because they just continue to put way too much weight on their preseason rankings of teams and are slow to move away from where they start.  I mean seriously, please find me 25 teams with 5 better wins than us and only 1 loss to a really good team.  You just cannot do it...

Yeah I agree. It's for sure a long season and remaining unranked early on will only help the guys moving on into the season.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

I think we should be ranked but rankings in basketball mean zero. It'll be good for the hogs to keep that edge due to disrespect.

[Adam Stokes]

And... USA Today/Coaches has us at #30, up from #33. Still behind Arizona? Hmm...

[alohawg]

Keep winning and those things take care of themselves. I like the no respect motivator.

We are right there.. keep winning and we are in soon... gives us incentive...

[jacketsting]

A win at Houston will get us even closer but I think if we beat Minnesota in a couple of weeks that will get us in for sure.

To heck with the sympathy. It should be surprising. A gallant effort with 3 players for sure but players bench and fouling out. That is on Bama. Had they not obviously,the injuries wouldn't have played as big a role...

[AlmaHog2011]

I'm disappointed..But like said up this thread keep winning and we will be in the top 15 sooner or later. Apparently later.

[BannerMountainMan]

What gets me is Texas lost two games this week and won 0 and jumped ahead of Arkansas in votes? It's pathetic

[root_hawg]

Who have we beaten, 0 ranked teams and the one ranked team we played beat us by 19.

I agree, but people do love anything they perceive as an underdog.

[sigpooie]

Massey  comps have us at 18 and sag is finally giving in and has us at 20. So next poll if we don't lose will put us in around 20th.

go away

[FATHAWG08]

down by 6 with 3 minutes left  against NC then the Refs got involved.

[BannerMountainMan]

Right now Team rankings has Arkansas as a 4 seed and I believe this site is the only bracketology that figures in all the stats from the games and not just "who they are" like most poll voters.

[Sapperhog]

Take care of business against Minnesota and we'll get some well deserved recognition.

[cardsNhogs]

If we still have only 1 loss after the Minnesota game and are still not ranked then I will be upset! We were mid to upper 30's before PK80 and now we are low 30's. The Oklahoma win and UCONN thumping were good but we also got beat 19 by UNC who got drilled by Mich St two days later.

[AugustaHog]

If we get by Houston and Minnesota, this team will roll for awhile.  The schedule softens a bit after the Gophers and we open conference with UT, @MSU, @AU, LSU, and Mizzou before heading to Gainesville for a big-time matchup with the Gators.  Minnesota is the only team of that bunch that we should have the possibility of losing to in non-conference.  The two road conf. matchups aren't too bad in MSU and AU and the first 3 home SEC games are manageable.  The schedule should allow us to shine until February hits.  The 3 game stretch of TAMU, UK, and @ Bama will be a fun one and will determine where we're going to shake out in the conference.  2-1 in that run and we're going to like what comes our way on selection Sunday.

That Tennessee game will be a tough one, they are better than anyone expected. Same w/ LSU

[wavybone]

If we win our next 3, we'll be ranked.

[johnfanman]

We will sneak in there this year I believe. This team has too much potential.
