CBS @ 5.

A lil high. But this guy tends to have a ton of recency bias in his rankings.

I think ESPN updates theirs around noon 30.

They're selling these big foam fingers, "We're #0" on them, at the Moda Center concession stands.

In a couple of hours, I think an empty little dot will appear where the Wizard's castle belongs. Right now my site is walking through the poppy fields.

I think--much like the Atlanta Braves appropriated the "Tomahawk Chop" from Florida State--Blazers fans need to adopt the Ducks' "O" hand sign for Dame. How great would it be for the entire Moda Center to break out in a loud "OHHHHH!", hands up, when Dame is bringing the rain?

If the update is delayed, do we blame the jitterbug?

13-2... I can't remember when we were 19-26. It feels like we've always been this good now.

19-26? How about 11-20? Do you remember that?

Me neither.

15-24 before this run. Ahh.

Dame defiles ranking.

I wonder what the record is for most consecutive months posting a higher winning percentage each month? We've got to be in rarefied air there. And topping it's going to be tough...

Turn that upside down and you get @HCP's predictions.

 

[Pinwheel1]

When I saw at 8th I assumed that a few teams were behind us because of our recent streak. However, we really are legitimately a top 10 team. (Even if we lose a few on this road trip)

Ahem, that would be the letter 'O' per Dame's request.
