The polls usually come out around noon-ish. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Most of the random websites that rank teams have us first.

I know it doesn’t matter and I shouldn’t care, but if they have Gonzaga over us that’s a complete joke

Gonzaga has a bunch of blowout wins but almost all of them are quad 4. So their efficiency stuff looks great but it’s pretty empty.

Yeah Few likes to run up the score on their cupcakes because it’s the main thing that boosts their ranking.

If we continue playing well we will be ranked number 1. I’m not worried about the AP Poll. I’m more worried about resting on our laurels while becoming the hunted.
We have to become the villains once we are number one.

Yeah as much as I admittedly want the #1 ranking it’s almost a guarantee it won’t hold, so might as well take #2 this week as the extra juice to handle Kentucky on Saturday

I think this Saturday's going to be a dogfight whether we're #1 or #2, so I'd rather us get that first #1 in program history than not.

Yes exactly, they play nobody

Bruce wants the #1 ranking bad. Says it is a great milestone for the program.

Yes, but, Gonzaga is for real. I have seen some of their games. Blowing out outmatched opponents is expected, and they are blowing the doors off of everyone. bama is a shell now. AU and Gonzaga (Arizona looks sneaky good, especially out west) are in the drivers' seats for now, and if we both keep winning, watch the college hoops world split. Fun times ahead and frick Kentucky.

It would be awesome. I’m thinking AU will have the most 1st place votes but will have a votes outside the top 5 while Gonzaga’s lowest will be #2. So I think AU will be #2.
Auburn had 5 votes outside the top 10 last week. Gonzaga’s lowest vote was #4

Never underestimate the pettiness of sportswriters… zags will be #1 imo.

This right here.

That’s a great point

I don't disagree at all

From Rivals
BRUCE PEARL
- "We have to get better. That will be my message to the team."
- Preaching to team to stay hungry and humble.
- As far as the ranking goes, Pearl says Auburn should be No. 1 based on the resume. Not saying Auburn is best team in country.
- Our guys know the starts before. Our guys knew we were 1-2 at home against Florida. We were 1-4 against Ole Miss ... They know we split the last two seasons against Georgia."
- On focusing on Georgia and not Kentucky: "Calling it for what it is: it is a trap game. But it is against our rival." Says he can point out to Saturday night when Ole Miss came out punching for the first 17 minutes.
Pearl mentions talking about the elevated play from opponents due to the prize on Auburn's head.
- On Auburn fans: "I think it is unbelievable." Pearl says he was texting with Bryan Harsin and saying fans are trying to travel like Auburn football fans. Says Frank Martin noticed it at South Carolina.
- "Instrumental in our road wins." - On fans traveling to road games.
- "Defensive rebounding wins championships. Defense travels." - on his team's defensive play so far. "Huge part of our success." Tigers played some zone against both Alabama and Ole Miss.
1st and 2nd points
