I’m starting to think Louisville is team to beat.

I've been thinking the same thing. Pretty much the most balanced team this season. It's not their offense or defense, it's both. Not too many teams we can say that about.
 
I think that in the mind of voters CU’s home losses to NIU and OSU along with getting boat raced by Kansas and Arizona and then the bad loss at UCLA raise a big question mark.

Those losses cast more doubt in their minds than credit for wins over Dayton, Oregon and USC. But it seems to me that we were punished more harshly for the UCLA loss than other schools were for bad losses.

I think you overstate it. We started just outside the Top 25. We've been just inside it for most of the season. We are pretty much what we were expected to be.

I’m referring to the 4 position drop

We dropped 4 and Houston dropped 4. Wichita State and Rutgers dropped out while Creighton and Arizona moved in. I thought it was appropriate.

I also think we've got a good opportunity to move up a lot this week because there will be a bunch of losses ahead of us.

I agree. Just have to win at home. If we play with the same urgency we showed against USC we will.

I think a lot of these big east teams are overrated.

I don't know if there is a great team (maybe Seton Hall). But all 10 are good and a few have that combination of great defense & a premier scorer that often does well in the Dance. From KenPom:

Just outside the Top 25, the AAC had a bad night with both Tulsa and Wichita State dropping home games.
 
All ranked teams won on Thursday.

For Friday, we've only got 1 game but it's a good one.

#9 Maryland at #20 Illinois (6pm, FS1). Go Terps!!!
 
#9 Maryland won at #20 Illinois last night.

As usual, just about everyone is playing today (Saturday).
 
Teams we should jump this week:
Arizona
Creighton
Illinois

Maybe:
Michigan State (ranked #16 but lost twice this week)
Iowa (#17 but got rolled by Purdue. Also rolled the Nubs in Iowa City, so prolly not.)

I don't see anyone jumping us, so I would guess we'll be 21, maybe 20, even though we're leading the Pac-12.

LSU lost twice, including one to Vandy. Should hop back to 20 at worst. Iowa should get punished bad for a 36 point loss and MSU bad for 0-2 this week so we could pass both but who knows with these voters. Nova went 0-2 to ranked teams. Won’t drop below us, but should be close.

You could say Michigan state lost 3 times this week.

If Marquette upsets #18 Butler today (10am FS1) that could open up another spot for us.
 
#25 Houston is killing Wichita State.

So uncompetitive that I flipped over to Loyola-Chicago vs Valparaiso.
 
Houston ended up beating Wichita State by 33.

We may not see the teams in the Top 25 change much this week.
 
ESPN Power Rankings:

i

16. Colorado Buffaloes (19-5)
Previous ranking: Unranked
This week: at Oregon (Thursday), at Oregon State (Saturday)

There have been a couple of hiccups along the way, but Colorado now sits atop the Pac-12 standings heading into the final seven games. It's going to be a difficult stretch for the Buffaloes, with five of those remaining seven coming on the road, including games at Oregon and Stanford. While Colorado's defense has been more consistent than its offense over the entire season, the Buffs' offense has been by far the best during Pac-12 play and is operating at a high level right now. The Buffaloes are making shots, both inside and outside the arc, they're getting to the free throw line and they're taking care of the ball. It is an experienced, balanced unit with two of the best players in the league in McKinley Wright and Tyler Bey.

They also opened the article by previewing Thursday's game:
"Colorado at Oregon (Thursday): Tad Boyle's team could really get a stranglehold on the Pac-12 regular-season race with a road win in Eugene. The Buffaloes won the first meeting on Jan. 2, and Oregon is now on a two-game losing streak to fall one game back in the standings. The winner likely will find itself in next week's rankings; the loser, not so much."
