Weekly Look at the College Basketball Polls

The Mountain West has only UNLV in the both polls at 17 in the coaches and 18th in the AP poll.  UNLV is currently 7-0 which is their best start in nearly a decade.  New Mexico is close to being ranked after beating 21st Cal last week.  Had BYU beat Utah State they might be ranked as well.  Check the full rankings below.

Rankings

New Mexico: With a road game at San Diego and then home versus #22 Texas A&M, a pair of wins would seemingly get them into the Top 25.

BYU: Home against Arizona State, and on the road at Fresno State would certainly get them moved up in the voting.

I hope CSU can get some votes

then lose the rest of their games just like the football team. The curse of the 2 AP votes will haunt just like the billygoat curse in Chicago!

Bring back Fum's Song!
