Week 2 AP poll

Deac peak: Wake hits AP No. 1 for first time.

Memphis hung on to the top spot. UNC-CH fell to 11. Louisville is the highest CUSA team at 12 followed by Memphis at 25. Arizona was the biggest dropper after losing to Virginia (10 to 18).

I don’t have the actual link to how the votes added up, so no idea where we stand among those receiving votes.

we win and move down go figure.

Some love for Davidson. Cool.

Apparently, if you can pull a win out of Zeus’ butthole after being down to some patsy, you only drop one position, otherwise its everybody moves towards the front of the line.

Just whom did anyone else beat?

I don’t get too excited about polls anymore, they are just a popularity poll, much like being in high school.

The only one that counts is the big dance.

Don't worry Run. We will get Page 1 tomorrow since we lost. I understand that's the plan. Last page when we win. First page when we lose. We are the only ranked team in the country to have a hometown newspaper put our wins on Page 11.
