Surprised it’s possible to edge by two teams like Siena and Canisius and raise your ranking. That's the life of a ranked team. Once you are ranked as long as you dont lose and give them an excuse to take you out, you stay and climb if/when others lose. They dont re-evaluate everyone each week, its not a 'power ranking' or 'efficiency ranking.' that's also why its so hard to crack the top 25 when you are outside of it. Why it took us 30 years to do so for example.

Exactly - That's why starting off the season being Ranked is huge for us. Big plus for Brand recognition also ...
JUST WIN AND STAY IN. BONA Contingent in Charleston will be loud and proud today. I'll stop there - starting to sound like Walt Frazier on a Knicks broadcast ...
GO BONAS

Fantastic job by the Bona faithful in Charleston. Tim Welch pointed out how well Bona Nation supports their team in Olean and on the road.
Delighted that all the Bona travelers got to see a game that had up and down swings with Bona finishing strong. 6th man played a big part in the win. Glad to see OSUN circling the arena applauding all the Bona fans.
As my license plate frame reads (thanks to FOX) "There is no Place Like Bona."

Hope to see a nice vertical jump in this week’s poll. Maybe 18 or 19?

We’ll end up at 18…nobody we played was ranked, even if Marquette won AT #10… Not enough losses in front of us to JUMP anyone else…18 will be fine, anything lower is BS

Unranked Arizona beats #4 Michigan by 18, might be tough to go up very much.

We will definitely move up due to "The OSU" (#19) loss to unranked Xavier this week. It will be interesting to see whether losses by #17 TEN (to #5 Nova) and/or #18 UNC (loss to #6 Purdue) will be enough to jump over them. Certainly name recognition is a concern and not much research goes into the weekly voting process.
Had SBU lost any games this week, especially since games were versus unranked teams, the drop in the poll would have been significant to where it would've taken 2-3 more weeks to get crack the Top 25 again.

See enough AP voters posting on Twitter to feel we go up at least to #19.

I believe I read last week that there were 4 or 5 AP voters that didn't even have Bonas in their Top 25. It will be interesting to see if any voters leave them off this week.
