College Basketball Rankings: UNLV Falls From Rankings In AP, Coaches Poll

by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 5, 2011 12:29 PM PST in College Basketball RPI

The latest AP and USA Today Coaches poll is out and as expected UNLV feel from the ranks after their loss to Wichita State and are now fist in line in the others receiving votes category. San Diego State is also in the others receiving votes category, however in the AP poll they must not pay attention to head-to-head matchups because San Diego State defeated Cal last night but they are receiving more votes in the AP poll.

Both schools should be able to crack the the rankings if they can win their games this week.

Polls after the jump.

folks in SD aren't happy

but there was a good point in the Union Tribune’s dissection of the rankings: having just finished the tough part of their schedule, SDSU now has six straight cupcake games, and if they round out non-conference play at 14-2 the polls won’t be able to ignore the record alone
