The Syracuse Orange continue to slowly march closer and closer towards a No. 1 ranking that everyone will complain about and say they didn't earn. Can you feel the excitement?
In the Coaches Poll, the Orange move up one stop to No. 5 thanks to Louisville's loss to Duke over the weekend. Indiana remains the heavy No. 1, followed by Duke, Michigan, Ohio St., Syracuse and L'ville.
The AP voters didn't think that a loss to the now-No. 2 team in the nation meant Louisville should fall any further than fifth so Syracuse is still No. 6 there. It's Indiana, Duke, Michigan, OSU and L'ville in the top five.
Other Big East teams in the rankings are Cincinnati (17/16) and Georgetown (20/25). Our old friends San Diego St. remain in the rankings at No. 23/No. 21.
The AP Voter You Arbitrarily Hate This Week continues to be a tie between our good friend Ron Morris and Las Vegas Review-Journal writer Ed Graney, both of whom have the Orange at No. 10.
The AP Voter You Arbitrarily Love This Week is a six-way tie for those who put SU all the way up at No. 3. They include the Providence Journal's Kevin McNamara and wacky Scott Wolf from the LA Daily News.
