We dropped to 23rd this week with that loss to Hampton. Hampton didn't do us a favor by getting their asses handed to them by SDSU the night after beating us. :-\ Oh well. SDSU is a quality team this year.

Hopefully we'll jump back up with a couple of win this week.

We need to focus on winning the conference and then the conference tournament. That is the only thing we should be worried about. Last year we got beat bad by Fullerton State and the team was able to put that behind us.

Bingo.

I'll gladly take a loss to Baylor for a win against Sac State and NAU.
 
Forgive me if this was already posted in another thread, but here is a cool statistical ranking system that puts PSU at 11th among mid-majors (the site doesn't count Gonzaga as a mid-major):
