FIRST COLLEGE BASKETBALL AP POLL: Oklahoma State #8

Because some of the big boys will play each other early, or might stumble, the Cowboys could easily be in the top 5 by the time they play Memphis in GIA on 11/19 in a warm up game for the Old Spice Classic. Be watching for "Five Questions for Oklahoma State Basketball," featuring me, Kyle at PFB, and Brendon Morris from OState.com/Rivals, coming this Monday.

Also amazing that a team that was unceremoniously bumped from the NIT by Robert Morris gets ranked #1.
