Why not? Pitt beats the Cougs by 15 late in essentially a home game. We beat the Cougs by 22 in Pullman. I'm sure it won't happen but there is no doubt in my mind we are better than Pitt.

If WSU had beat down baylor, perhaps. I think a lot of people aren't sure about WSU yet, and for that reason, nobody will know how good of a win this is until later in the season.

Gonzaga has also played 3 more high major teams than Pitt...including Tennessee.

Pitt may have won by 15, but they were fighting for their lives until the last 4 minutes of the game when Wazzu's offense went sour. The Zags had the Cougs down by 33 at one point in the 2nd half.

That being said, if GU beats Zona (not a given) I would be highly surprised if GU supplants Pitt in the polls. It's just the way things work.

I'm not sure how that relates to what I wrote Kroz? Head to head vs the same opponent is what I'm talking about. Our win was more impressive not to mention we've beaten better opposition than Pitt.

Beat me to it CDC.

In all honesty, id put us at #2. Yes, #2. UCONN never fires on all cylinders at once. They always have to one or two players winning games for them. That near loss to Buffalo only solidifies it. GU #2.

Shoot, I'll have to one-up ya and say #2 (and I ain't scared of NC either). Uconn isn't living up to the hype and I guess we'll get to see what's what on the 20th, but I'm saying we're better than them also.

[NotoriousZ]

Aw, ya beat me to the post, JohnO. Nice move.

[JohnOGU]

Aw, ya beat me to the post, JohnO. Nice move.

And you too, Notorious. A good call on both of our parts.

[cggonzaga]

I too agree with your posts but we're going to have to beat them before that happens.

In my complete homerific eyes. having seen the team twice in person. We're #1 or 2.

Kool-aid time! #2 is looking better all the time.

After last night I got to agree. I think if we beat AZ and Uconn, we are legitimately the #2 team in the land. Scary to think that would put the team one UNC misstep in an ACC road game away from #1. Yikes.

damn I'm excited!!

I know we're all on cloud 9 and, yes, the team played very very well last night, but, hoenstly, I can't say I believe the hype until this team wins the battle of the boards by a decent margin against a good rebounding team. As it stands, the team is very very good, yes. But not FF good IMO.

I don't care if we're unranked, as long as we keep winning.

Not as concerned about rebounding like some others. We got outrebounded by 25 against Tenn and had an 18 point lead late in the game. I don't see us losing games because of getting outrebounded. I see us blowing teams out even worse when we start outrebounding teams.

What does this team have to do to impress you? How can you not see this team is FF and national championship good? I'm an optimist but anyone can see that this team is as good as anyone.
