Ranking Roundup 02.15.12

Check out this week's Ranking Roundup below.  Links are provided to complete sets of rankings. I felt like the Roundup was becoming a little mundane, so I've added some commentary to spice things up.

For yesterday having been Valentine's Day, the Bearcats certainly aren't feeling the love this week from some of the ranking services.  I know, I know, rankings don't  matter, what happens in St. Louis matters, but I just don't feel like the Bearcats are getting the respect they deserve at this point in the season. Also, since this is one of the only posts that the Coaching Staff doesn't contribute to, I am giving my two cents.

*For the last several weeks, we've been tied for #1 with Rider (hard to justify, since BU defeated them handily, 20-12, at CAA Duals, but I digress).  After defeating Hofstra on Sunday, the Bearcats find themselves in an astonishing second place, behind the Pride (formerly ranked behind both BU and Rider), whom the Bearcats trumped 24-12.  It doesn't make sense to me, but hey, what do I know?
