The Beavers are #12 in the ESPN power rankings this morning. They include this comment:
Look out for Oregon State. The Beavers didn't just sweep their foes on the mountain trip last week, but crushed both defensively, allowing just 44 points to Utah and 59 to Colorado. Can Oregon State avenge early-January losses to the L.A. schools this weekend at home? If so, the Beavers will be leaping into the top 10.

Thanks. Chalk it up to "occasional technological ineptitude." Or maybe it's "pervasive."

Just to be sure that there wasn't something different the second time, I read both of them again. So it's like you posted it FOUR times!
That's a big day! Keep 'em coming.

Rankings frequently make no sense, and this week will probably be no different. Even though we've beaten Colorado two times in two weeks, I will not be at all surprised if they're still ranked ahead of us. They'll drop to about 9; we'll move up only to about 12, and there will still be 4 loss teams ahead of us. Moving up from not being ranked at all is a lot tougher than moving down when you were ranked too high to begin with. Clearly, we deserve to be in the top ten. In our last 5 games, we've played four ranked opponents and won every game. That's an amazingly impressive resume. Nevertheless, I expect the voters to yawn and say we're #12. What do you guys think? I was pretty close saying Colorado 9 and us 12. It's actually 8 and 11. UCLA and USC are 9 and 10 respectively, so there's still 4 conference schools ahead of us. We'll see if we can do something about that this weekend. Utah, with its 7 losses, is still ranked at 22.

Utah at number 22 plays at home to Colorado this week, and then goes to the LA schools. They are going to have a tough time holding on to the top 25 as the season closes out. They need to win one of those games. Colorado at Utah this week should be a fun game to watch.
