So that isn't interpreted wrong, I don't say that because they play in the Big East, I saw that because they are playing without their best two players, who also happened to be two of the best in the country.
Although they very well could stay highly ranked if they avoid losing a bad game, because from here on out they really only have one or two games that will be really tough, so if they go 10-2 on the season they will probably be ranked higher than they deserve, IMO.
To clarify, since this is kind of the discussion I had with Stima before, since Louisville is highly ranked now, the only way that their team can get lower is by losing really. So even though the team right now doesn't have its two best players, if it wins out against bad opponents there will be no real justification for the pollers to vote them less, even though they might not be as good as they once were.
