Damn. I was a couple seconds away from posting this. And with the same comments, too...

Looks like Minn. and BU dropping facilitated us moving up, but the dropping after 2 dominating wins last week and moving up after losing this weekend certanly has me surprised too

Dartmouth does pick up two votes this week, so apparently the game did not go completely unnoticed.

In a positional sense, we moved up, yes. But our points dropped off a bunch; 259 this week as opposed to 323 last week. Minnie's and BU's just happened to drop off a lot more.

Yeah, but who cares how many points we get? Not that this poll is used in selection....but, 16 teams are going to make the tourney and at the end of the day, the amount of points each has doesn't matter. What's important is where they stand in relation to each other.

Well, we dropped 2 spots in the USA Today Poll.
