Seems a little odd they would have dropped a spot since last week. Maybe one or more teams had a particularly good week and leapfrogged them.
UCLA now at #2 and Baylor, after beating then #7 Xavier, at #4.

A road loss to the #4 team and a neutral site loss to Georgetown aren't going to look like bad losses at the end of the season. If Baylor had been top 5 when they beat us we'd be a lot higher. I don't think we're a top 25 quality team at the moment, but it's funny how it shakes out.
Bottom line is you have to be UCLA, Arizona, or Gonzaga to get consistent respect from voters as a west coast team. That's the way it's always been.

Baylor has turned out to be a very good team but I think they are peaking at the start of the season. Wouldn't be surprised if they completely falter at the end of the season.

As always, I'd rather be ranked lower, especially at the beginning of the season. Polls in basketball mean absolutely nothing.
