Sac to vault into Top Ten?

Post by SuperHornet »

The PxP guy on the Sac State broadcast last night at some point during the last ten minutes (the point at which I was able to tune in after our Harvest Block Party at church last night) posited that the next poll may well push the Hornets into the Top Ten.

How likely is this? It seems that the titanic games of the last few weeks have shell-shocked the rankings (note the Kitties falling from #6 to #12 after losing to Sac). Are we getting near the point of these titanic moves evening out to some degree, moving Sac perhaps to #12 or #13, or will the Hornets get the big boost that the commentator suggested?

I already had Sac #4 before yesterday, so they're not gonna move in my ballot (behind only NDSU, SDSU, JMU).

If Montana can jump 9 spots after beating Davis, Sac can at least jump 5 spots for beating them

Anything north of 4 means a voter is not paying attention.

Remember when Davis gave NDSU all they could handle in Fargo earlier this year? Davis is likely not the best team in the Causeway this year.

Sac State still has a strong test in front of them, but you win one game in Montana (either Missoula or Bozeman) and you beat the other Montana school in the same year, only good teams are capable of that. As long as the Hornets don't suffer a Griz hangover at Cal Poly, that Weber game should be fun. People on the east coast will have to stay up late for that one.

Nothing to indicate SacState isn’t deserving. They passed the test Saturday eliminating all doubt.

I'm not sure why NCAA.com still hasn't updated the STATS poll. It's already been published on their own site.
