Help Support BearcatTalk:

Florida wins, steady at 48.
UConn wins, falls a bit to 99.
Temple wins, steady at 35.
Wyoming wins, steady at 67.

I would say that's a pretty good day. Why does it seem like it's either a really good day or a really bad day...lol! Even in the polls it seems like one week there is no movement for us and the next all hell breaks loose.

Would be absolutely fitting for this season if Houston Lost today and we played them after a win. It happens too damn often
 
Weekly resume update.

Although we picked up two more quality wins this week, our total number of quality wins remains the same. That's a result of Memphis falling out of the top 135 and SMU falling out of the top 75. Houston gave us a boost by barely moving into the top 30. Our record now stands at 5-2 in Group 1, 6-0 in Group 2 and no bad losses.

Projected remaining Group 1 games: @Houston, Wichita St, @Wichita St
Projected remaining Group 2 games: @Tulane

Houston, UCF, SMU, Memphis and Tulane continue to straddle the cut lines. Temple can get into the top 30 by going 4-1 (11% chance). Buffalo has lost a couple of road games in the last two weeks, but they can stay in the top 50 by winning their last four home games (94% chance). Miss St and Wyoming each need to split their remaining six games to stay in Group 2. Florida needs to do the same to stay in Group 1.
