In the polls
The top 4 stay the same in the latest Mid-Major poll, but No. 5 is Bucknell, up three spots from its preseason No. 8 ranking.

Holy Cross still is among "others receiving votes" with 8. No other Patriot League teams received votes.

Bucknell also picked up significant votes in the latest AP and ESPN-Coaches Top 25 polls.

In the AP Poll, the Bison are fourth among the "others receiving votes" with 73 votes. In a display of everything wrong with these polls, Syracuse, who Bucknell beat on its own floor last week, still is getting twice as many (175) votes as Bucknell. Syracuse fell from the top 25 to the top of the "others receiving" list in this week's poll.

Not on this guy's ballot, though. Jerry Brewer of the Louisville Courier-Journal had BU at No. 24, Syrcause at 25.

In the latest USA Today-ESPN Top 25, the Bison received 22 points, one behind North Carolina. That ranks unofficially No. 32 in that poll. Again, curiously, Syracuse is ahead of Bucknell, ranked No. 24 with 94 points.
