Well deserved. In fact, a good case could be made IMO that the Griz can hang with the teams up above them in the mid-&-upper- teens. Now, go get a nice win over the Aggies !

Griz make another jump, up to 16, right behind Santa Barbara.

Murray State-Watch out! We're gunning for ya! This is all mental masturbation. Last I checked the Griz are one of 351 teams in Division-1. Yes there are really 351 teams in D-1 hoops now,and there is, unbelievably 11 teams ranked below #340 NAU (the last team the Griz beat).

Gonzaga still being considered a "Mid-Major" illustrates the absurdity of caring about this poll. Do you think they care about being #2 in the Mid-Major poll or being #14 in the country over-all?

The Griz are ranked 119th, 18 spots behind Grand (fricking) Canyon on other stat-based rankings, but Grand Canyon is getting little respect on this poll. This means nothing.

And ranked #59 on another stat-based ranking system (Haslametrics), and #72 on another (Kenpom).

Yeah polls mean nothing really but it's nice to see the Griz getting some notice as being a damn good Mid Major team. Just like it was nice back in the 2005-2006 season when the Mid Major poll finally included the Griz and like in 2013 when the Griz got up to #12 (if I remember right) in the Mid Major poll. It shows respect for our team and what they've accomplished this season among other mid major coaches.

Yet we darn near orgasm whenever the GRIZ are ranked in the FCS poll. Makes complete sense....

Man, I'm thinking the same thing. We're up here in forgotten land - we'll take positive recognition anytime we deserve it. If you paid ANY attention to this team you would know they deserve all the accolades they are getting. :clap: Perhaps Mr. Z should store his Cheerios in a waterproof bag! :roll:

Pretty sure it's based on a certain set of conferences... Do you not think Santa Clara and Pacific should be in this poll too?

That's exactly the case. Although Gonzaga has elevated beyond mid major status, their conference is still considered mid major.
