PrintIt's Sunday Morning and that means one thing:
Missouri fans are waking up with massive hangovers.
But that also means it's time for the Sunday Poll Watch. Follow the jump for updates as polls are released, and in the mean time, see the post below to wade through all the glorious Mizzou links from this morning.
This week, we might even be joined by this guy - the one CU fan left at Folsom Field
in the second half.
Click "Full Story" for updates on the Sunday Poll Watch.
Update [2007-11-4 11:56:3 by rptgwb]: Prediction Time: Missouri at No. 7, but Kansas leaps West Virginia to No. 5. The top ten should look something like this:
- Ohio State
- Oregon/LSU
- LSU/Oregon
- Oklahoma
- Kansas
- West Virginia
- Missouri
- Boston College
- Georgia
- Hawaii/Arizona State
What do the citizens of Rock M Nation think? How does your top ten look?
Update [2007-11-4 12:52:21 by rptgwb]: Stay tuned - both polls should be released in the next hour or so...
Update [2007-11-4 13:18:22 by rptgwb]: USA Today and Associated Press, why must you tease me so? Release the damn polls!
Update [2007-11-4 13:32:26 by rptgwb]: I was spot-on with KU, WVU, and MU. Here is the latest AP Poll.
Some points of interest:
-- Missouri gets placed at No. 7, just ahead of the NCAA's newest one-loss teams, Boston College and Arizona State.
-- How is BC ahead of ASU? Isn't ASU's loss on the road at now-No.3 Oregon better than BC's loss at home to unranked Florida State?
-- Pollsters are still somewhat weary of Kansas, placing them behind three one-loss teams. Oklahoma could be fortunate they blew out Texas A&M, otherwise the Jayhawks may be sitting at No. 4 right now.
-- Three Big 12 teams in the top 7, two of which from the North, not named Nebraska and Colorado? Wow...
-- In other Big 12 news, Texas checks in at No. 15 after escaping Stillwater with a win. How does OSU respond at home against Kansas next week?
-- This is not a weighted question, but, objectively, what does Missouri have to do to leap West Virginia
Update [2007-11-4 13:41:27 by rptgwb]: Once again, the AP and the Coaches agree. It's 5-6-7 for KU, WVU, and MU. Link here.
Update [2007-11-4 17:24:18 by rptgwb]: The BCS Standings have been out for a solid hour now, but I was waiting on a link. A PDF of the latest standings can be found here. How 'bout that Big 12 at 4-5-6?

I think...
...we'll jump BC simply because I think people have been wanting to drop them for a while but didn't have a reason to.
- Ohio State
- LSU
- Oregon
- Oklahoma
- West Virginia
- Kansas (they won't get a ton of credit because NU sucks)
- Mizzou
- BC
- Georgia
- Arizona State
Not what I think, but what I think they think.
Interesting to see
how the pollsters treat the LSU/Oregon debate.
LSU has been escaping in their games, albeit against solid competition. Oregon has looked a little more solid, but how impressive do the wins look?
Plus, the team's two losses - Kentucky and Cal - are getting harder and harder to judge.
At some point, WVU's loss to S. Florida
needs to get revalued, especially as USF plummets through the rankings. WVU is on a course to a highly ranked matchup with UCONN (yeah...I cannot believe there is a season where kU is undefeated and UCONN has lost one game by one point), but our finishing schedule (kU and assumed OU) should move us ahead of them at some point.
I am a little surprised, but not much I guess
I dont think the pollsters thought too highly of Arizona State, and I think that is at play here a bit. I dont think Oregon is personally deserving of a 1st place vote, and I am actually surprised LSU is getting them considering how Ohio State is simply going out there and taking care of business right now, though I do note against likely lesser opponents.
it's been kicking people off...
