The Greyhounds slip from No. 17 to No. 18 — a nudge, not a shove. At 10-6, they've put together a season that earns its place in the rankings, even if the voters weren't quite as kind this time around. A single-spot drop says the committee still sees this team, still respects the résumé, but the margin for climbing is razor-thin now.
Ten wins is ten wins. The Greyhounds have proven they belong in the conversation, and the only question is whether they can make the kind of late-season statement that turns a ranking into a seed. They're trending slightly down but far from out — and that's exactly the spot where a team either finds another gear or fades. This group has earned the benefit of the doubt.
