in the coaches poll .. 4 votes this week

still no votes in the AP


st louis would be 31 in the AP and 35 in the coaches

I'm not sure I want to see OU break into the top 25 anytime soon. This team is hungry right now, and I want them to stay that way.

 

[DenverSooner]

I don't think it would be a bad thing.

I agree with Ada. We wanna fly under the radar and be eager to get recognition.

 

[AdaSooner]

I don't see it as a bad thing necessarily. But there are certain pressures that go with being ranked that this team hasn't had to deal. It's like having a bulls eye on your back that only gets bigger as you move up in the rankings. I'm just not sure they're ready for that right now? Who knows, though? The mental toughness we have seen from this goup might be enough to get them over that hurdle.

Either way, moving closer to a top 25 ranking has to be viewed as a positive, especially considering how far the team has come since the season started

 

[BoulderSooner]

if we win our next 4 we will be very very close to #25 2 weeks from today

Not a bad thing at all, it provides proof that hard work pays off and could provide motivation to keep working hard.
