Another week, another few spots up in the polls for Maryland. The Terrapins are now No. 15 in the AP Poll, up from No. 17 last week. The week before, they were ranked No. 19.

UPDATE: Maryland is now ranked #15 in the USA Today Coaches poll as well.

Maryland's rise can primarily be attributed to their impressive 73-64 win at Oklahoma State Sunday afternoon. The Terrapins entered the game as 9.5-point underdogs, facing their first road game of the year in a hostile environment against a talented Cowboys squad. Strong performances by Jake Layman and Melo Trimble led Maryland to the win, giving the Terps one of their strongest starts to a season in the last decade.

Virginia, the only team Maryland has lost to, ranks No. 5 after a 76-27 (not a typo) win over Harvard. Iowa State, Maryland's other marquee victory this year, ranks No. 12. Other Big Ten teams in the AP Poll include Wisconsin at No. 6 and Ohio State at No. 21.

Maryland's ranking this week is their highest in the AP Poll since they checked in at No. 14. on January 3, 2006. The full polls for week 7 are below:
