Two weeks ago, Marquette beat a ranked Oregon State team and lost to Santa Clara in the same week, but increased their points in the Associated Press top 25 balloting.
Last week, Marquette beat Western Illinois fairly easily, but their points in the AP balloting went downwards. Presumably, the voters suddenly realized that they had also lost to Santa Clara the week before and finally got around to dinging them for the loss.
This week, Marquette went 1-1 with a loss to a UW-Green Bay team that, like MU, was receiving votes in last week’s poll and a win on the road against Wisconsin.
