MIT is ranked for the first time ever at #22.  

And hugenerd gets an early Christmas present!!! 8)

An early Christmas present indeed!  Not just me, but for every follower of the program.  I know that a lot of people are very proud of this group.

Personally, I am extremely happy for the coaching staff and the team.  The upperclassman (all 3 of them), have done a great job in helping the younger guys get adjusted to the college game and it is really showing in how everyone is playing as a unit.  

I am especially happy for the coaching staff because I have known most of them for so long.  It is not easy winning at a place like MIT (you can ask former Associate Head Coach Oli Eslinger who is now the Head Coach at Caltech about that), but those guys have done a spectacular job at changing the culture and expectations at MIT.  Current Associate Head Coach Kevin Byrne was an assistant at CMU when I played there, so I have known him for almost a decade (by the way, he seems to win wherever he goes, CMU won an average of 18 games per year his last 4 years there, not easy in the UAA, and his first year at MIT they tied an Instute record 21 wins and you all know what they are doing this year).  I have also known Coach Anderson for about 8 years since I was an undergrad thinking of transferring into his program.  I have also gotten to know the younger assistants, Coach Hagstrom (former Clark player) and Coach Phillips (former MCLA player) over the last two years and they are great guys.   Lastly, I am sure not many people know this, but MIT has a great asset in that they have former BC and Wisonsin star, and former 1st round NBA draft pick, Paul Grant on their staff.  He was a center in the NBA, so I am sure he can really pass along some wisdom and teach the young crop of big men at MIT how to get the most out of their talent.  

The best is yet to come!  GO MIT!

Mr. Ypsi

Congratulations, hugenerd!

Aren't those MIT guys smart enough to know that when you graduate the national POY you're supposed to fall a bit! :D  (Of course, Wheaton seems to be hanging in there pretty well so far despite graduating Kent Raymond [my preference for POY] AND all-CCIW center Andy Wiele.)

It does seem unlikely that Wooster will be in the next poll, though I agree they could be a Top 25 quality team.

As a reminder, the current poll does not include Monday's game.

As I am sure you know, Pat, the new top 25 is out:

Yes. The next poll I refer to is the next poll, not this one.

On a random note, this HAS to be the top 25 with the highest academic profile ever: Wash U., Midd, Wheaton, Williams, Amherst, F&M, Brandeis, MIT, Chicago etc. ... revenge of the nerds!

Or it was that Top 25 that prompted the New York Times to run the article that is discussed on this thread...

How They Fared -- Midweek report

Lots of idle teams this week, and many others with no games before the weekend, but on the bright side, there were no missing scores by the time I ran my program ....

By the way, there won't be a new Top 25 this week. We will return the next week.

Just FYI, the pollsters did not vote until today (to allow for holiday travel, etc)...so while there is a poll this week, I'd expect it a day later than usual.

Transylvania shocks #1 Wash U. at Wooster, 73-69.
#6 Guilford survives a rally by Ohio Wesleyan at Marietta, prevailing 79-72.
