On their pre-Thanksgiving show, Deb and Beth spoke with Dayton's Jim Jabir.

How prescient of them! Today, Dayton finds themselves in the AP Top 25 for the first time in school history.

''That's awesome,'' Jabir said. ''Seven years ago we won three games. Any coach pours their heart and soul into their program and to gain that kind of recognition for our school is special. My 12-year-old son Jackson would check every day where we were in the rankings. Now he'll see us there.''
