It will be close. We were receiving votes in both polls (#32 in AP, #34 in coaches) and we posted by far the best victory of teams on that receiving votes area with the win over #12/13 Baylor.
But you usually need people in the rankings to lose to be able to jump in. Well, #25 UNC lost, #24 West Virginia lost, #21 Mississippi State lost, and #19 Kentucky lost.
So I do think there is a chance. 10-2 with 2 quad 1 wins and 2 wins over current top 25 teams (although UNC is heading out) is probably a Top 25 resume on Jan 2. The only real negative is that ever-smellier stinker of a loss to the rapidly imploding douches at EIU. And not Eastern Illinois, who beat the douchy EIU.
