They were destroyed by 29 points. So no problem dropping them out.
Edit: Don't know where I got 29 points. Out of nowhere obviously. 19 is right.

Every week in 2021-22, I will hand out awards for the week that just unfolded in college basketball and unveil a new top 25:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana. He hit 18-of-24 field goals with 43 points in a 90-79 win over Marshall, the first Hoosier since 1994 to score 40+ in a game.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Iowa State. The Cyclones won two games last season, beating ranked foes Xavier and Memphis to win the NIT tip-off event.
COACH OF THE WEEK: Cliff Ellis, Coastal Carolina. He earned his 800th career victory.
DIAPER DANDY OF THE WEEK: Paolo Banchero, Duke. He scored 21 points in a win over Gonzaga.
SHOCK OF THE WEEK: Dayton over Kansas. The Flyers were a 16-point underdog and trailed by 15 in the first half before winning 74-73.

Lol gotta squeeze in da Hawks with their 358th ranked strength of schedule
Bozich (of course) has Memphis still on his ballot (and references loss by 19 to ISU) and ISU is nowhere to be found.
Absolutely par for the course for Bozich. He is always one of the voters who votes ISU lower than almost every other voter.

We were shorthanded too. I think Javan Johnson (9 pts and 4 reb avg last year) and Xavier Foster would both have gotten significant minutes if not be in the starting lineup. Do we have 13 scholly players (11?)?
I'd like to think they would be #15, but expect they crack the top 20.
Just a heads up, there are some ticket deals happening today for Cyber Monday and also some 4-pack deals.
Bought tickets to take the family to the Jan 1 game against Baylor. 4 for $60 including fees... not bad at all.

Some voters will consider it "bad loss to a 'bad' team" and drop Memphis without elevating ISU and ignore the body of work, including beating #25 Xavier ... But Bozich didn't have Xavier ranked last week (He had Memphis at #11 ... also had Purdue #1 (only voter to do so) and Gonzaga #4 (the lowest of any voter.)
He is always a wild card (not necessarily a bad thing, screw group-think) but he has some really strong biases that come through consistently from year to year; devaluing ISU is one of them.
Headed to the Baylor game as well!
Gotta fill the seats for all the games to bring the magic back
And of course is wrong. Wasn't it 29 points? Wrong facts = wrong conclusion.Bozich (of course) has Memphis still on his ballot (and references loss by 19 to ISU) and ISU is nowhere to be found.

That is too much. Top 10? That would be miraculous and amazing if that's how the season ended up, but it's pure fantasy right now.
The have the b1g/acc challenge this week, they had to inflate b1g ratings for tv bc the acc is so awful this year. Ohio st maintained their ranking bc they play Duke.

No way that's fully updated. Looks like they did a very partial job of it.
That’s not updated. Still has Memphis 9 and Xavier 25Looks like we didn't even receive any votes in the new AP poll? Doesn't make sense because of the Chris Murray article, maybe they incorrectly put Iowa instead?

Yeah, those votes would seem legit now.
They updated records and next games, but we know that Gonzaga and UCLA will drop a little after their losses.
Since Duke beat Gonzaga, you just know they show up in the top 3.
But someone changed the updated date to today, so it's really easy to throw folks off with that. It's still an hour or so too early for the real results.
