If you get slapped around by a team ranked in front of you, then you should probably drop out of the top 20.
That’s what happened to Marquette following their 9-2 loss to #14 Richmond on Saturday, where the Spiders held the Golden Eagles scoreless for the entire second half. After being ranked #16 in the country last week, MU has dropped out of the Maverik media top 20 poll this week as a result.
The Golden Eagles are still getting votes, just not enough to do better than the 80 points earned by #20 Duke this week.
