Strange to have no rankings on a Monday

[Alaskawildkat]

Apparently with the holiday, we get to wait until Tuesday to learn how far up Northwestern has moved from its #30 "also getting votes" position.

Anyone done the analytics to suggest where we "should" be ranked based upon Week One's losers and winners?

FWIW, I see this 247 Pundit in his post Week One projection has losers Michigan, Miami, and Washington still ranked above us.

Wonder if it also is due to the fact that two ranked teams play tonight.......

Four Tpo 25 teams lost probably non of them will drop out.

I do my own rankings every week (it's just a crude mash-up of the two polls and Sagarin), an NU started the year at #31. Texas is #21 and will likely fall behind NU, and none of the teams between #25 and #30 beat a team nearly as good as Purdue. Nor did the teams closely behind NU either (#42 Cal beat #43 North Carolina), so no one is going to jump them. My guess is NU will be #29 or #30 in my overall rankings and in the polls.

I am sure you are correct, and we will see regular rankings tomorrow.

Sounds about right. NU should creep into the rankings by the time Michigan comes to town if they take care of business. Whether that is a good thing, given the last time a ranked NU played Michigan, is up for debate.

Prediction: Mich will drop about 2 spots and Texas will inexplicably still receive votes

 

[NU Houston]

I have us at 24th

I have us at 1st.

 

[Cat In The Cradle]

I have us in the top 5. The longest win streak in the power five - and all those victories came against power five teams, including one or two the fake news currently ranks ahead of us.

You might be right about Texas, but I wouldn't bet the house on it. We still don't get no respect. Nor will we if we don't beat Duke this week.

It's a very good thing!

Right. It’s more likely Maryland passes us because they beat a juggernaut!

If I recall correctly, the last time we were asking this question you ended up being correct while most others here were projecting that it would take a week or two longer for Northwestern to make it into the top 25.

Will be pleasantly surprised if history repeats itself.

NU up to 27th in the USA Today poll FWIW.....
