I have no idea why I don't believe this but I don't. I don't think WSU can lose 4 games and stay top 30...I just don't believe it.

Their remaining schedule is very tough. They're done with ECU, USF and Tulsa. They play us twice, plus @SMU, @Temple and @UCF. That's five Group 1 games out of nine. Pretty similar to our remaining schedule actually.
 
Temple wins and improves to 37. Wichita St only drops a couple spots to 28.
SMU loses without Shake Milton, drops nine spots to 69.

Tulsa @ South Florida
1pm ESPN3
Tulsa at RPI 105. Mostly a lost cause, but they have an outside chance at going 7-1 to get into the top 75. Not impossible with their easy schedule (rpiforecast says 6% chance). 79% chance to beat USF.

Temple @ Tulane
3pm ESPNews
Temple at RPI 42. Need to finish 7-1 for top 30 or 3-5 for top 75. 54% chance to win.
 
I remember thinking after the Florida game that we beat that team at least 6 out of 10 times on a neutral court. They're a decent team but caught us on a bad night.
 
How the hell did we lose to Florida...that's starting to look like a bad loss, or at best a meh loss

We were less sure of our identity back then I feel like. Coming off that Xavier loss, it was bad timing for that game. I wish we could've beat Miss St first and got our groove back a little.
