Good question, but I know Franklin is already at my personal ceiling -- they would have to win a couple playoff games to get higher on my own ballot.

Understood, but I'm not sure what Mount Union did to get such a BIG boost last week. It seemed sort of out of whack with the rest of the poll. That was the more eye-catching thing to me - I just threw Franklin in as a point of comparison. No doubt it was a statistical anomaly brought about by circumstances on multiple ballots, but it is pretty odd. (Obviously, Franklin's loss today will deservedly drop them).

To answer your question: nothing, really. Combining the win of ONU with benefits from being the next in line "big name contender" from the other T25 teams directly below Hope, Williams, etc. who had lost.

IWU beat #23 Carthage with a 3-pointer w/ 2 seconds left, 70-69.  Since their losses are all to VERY good teams (2 road, 1 neutral, 1 home), and with their pedigree from recent seasons, I'm wondering if they will be the first 4-loss team to crack the Top 25 this season.

Bet they will be. Not sure what other 4-loss team would be in the running. Considering the injuries they have overcome, seems about right.

It is a pleasant surprise to see IWU at #25 this week.  I was predicting about 45-50 points, and cracking the top 25 NEXT week if they keep winning. :)

Amherst is apparently in what passes as a slump for them, with two close victories against pretty good teams, Massey no. 73 and 51.

They even dropped to #2 in the Massey ranking, behind George Fox, after being way out in front.

It will be interesting to see what happens Wednesday at #21 Williams--Amherst's toughest game of the regular season.

sumfun

When it's Williams vs Amherst anything can happen, but I think that Kean is probably more physical than Ephs.  Also think those trips to Maine are killers.  Look how few teams travel to Maine and win at both Colby and Bowdoin.  Tough trip also to win at both Bates and Tufts.

Amherst had to be pumped to roll over Kean after last year.  Could easily have been a let down, especially when last games with Maine schools were blowouts.

Have been watching George Fox.  Would love to see their centers vs Babson or Amherst centers.

At Titan Q's request, road victories now say "won at," while home victories say "def." (as they did before).

#22 IWU falls at Wheaton, 76-74, in double OT.  I got a bad feeling when Olivia Lett (24 points, 12 rebounds) fouled out with 39 seconds remaining in a tied game.

Just saw the latest poll- is there more than one Mary Baldwin? Otherwise how does a 4-11 team receive more votes than the last 2 teams they lost to by a combined 52 points?
I won't tell you how to coach, since you don't tell me how to mop the floor at the bus station.

I didn't see votes for Mary Baldwin on the poll, so probably an error which has been corrected.  My understanding is that Pat's voters use an alphabetical drop-down list of schools for voting, and once in a blue moon a voter hits a spot too high or too low - perhaps the points were actually Mary Washington's?
