The latest ESPN-USA Today Coaches Poll is out. Bucknell remains in the others receiving votes category with 8 votes. The most interesting development in this week's poll: Syracuse, who lost to Bucknell on its own floor, moves into the Top 25 at No. 24. The Orange, who have not played anybody, and have not lost, since the Bucknell game, moved into the poll on the basis of wins over UTEP and South Florida. Click on those links and look at their schedules, then decide for yourself if the Orange are rated on their achievement this season or their reputation.

Not arguing Bucknell belongs in the top 25, just that they certainly have as much a claim as Syracuse.

In the Mid-Major Top 25, no change at the top 3 spots: 1) Gonzaga 2) Northern Iowa and 3) Bucknell.

The AP Poll is even more ridiculous, with the Bison reciving only one vote this week.
