Yeah, I don't understand the people putting Texas St. on the bottom any more than I understand people putting Idaho there. You guys have a good win against a quality MAC program and losses against two Top 25 teams. I'd have you solidly in the middle of the pack, below a few teams only because we've already won our FCS games. I'd do:
1. App
2. Troy
3. Georgia Southern
4. ULL
5. USA
6. Idaho
7. Texas St.
8. NMSU
9. ULM
10. GSU
11. Ark. St.
Flip 4-6 in any order and it still makes sense.

Last time I checked TSU was in the SWAC - Plus they only have 1 team.
At least you didn't try to claim it as Texas State. I've been calling Texas Southern TSU my whole life, so it's annoying seeing some (formerly) Southwest people trying to take that over after the name change.

ULMshouldnt be at the bottom either. I think people are still stuck on last years perception and can't fathom actually typing stAte last. But at 0-3 with a loss to an FCS you about have to until they get in conference play.

6. Coastal Carolina
7. Idaho
8. Texas State
9. UL-Monroe
10. New Mexico State
11. Georgia State
12. Arkansas State
So we have road trips to the 3 other top 4 teams on my list. Going to be extremely difficult to get out of those unscathed. Luckily none of the 3 are back to back.

After the Top 3, everyone else is truly interchangeable. The total inconsistency of these squads is so confusing. I do think Coastal would beat all of them and give the Top 3 a game.

ULL jumps to number 3? I'm a little lost as to your reasoning here.
Homer pick. has to be, but dang lol
You are absolutely right the point is not how everyone is ranked its that everyone wants to be called what they want to be called no one likes it when they are not. Simple Cajuns will do. For those that do call us Cajuns I do apologize was just making a point.
Actually it's not even about what we preferred to,be called. Its more about avoiding confusion. No one is confused when you type ULL vs ULM,
But you try that with ASU or GSU and people question which one you are talking about.

Not really in this case. Most understand that TSU at #1 is probably Troy State and not Texas State and ASU at #4 is probably APP and not Arkansas State. Context clues usually give away the reference. Not really that big of an issue in my opinion.
By the way, I don't mind TSU. Long live Troy State!

That may be possible, but you still aren't sure. Heck, he put the Cajuns at 3. He was trying to make a point and it failed. You can't 1start a random thread about ASU and not have fans wonder which one you are talking about. Eventually, yes, context will give you clues. But no one is really pissed about it.

Also, isn't it just troy now? So it should be just TU. Did the StAte of Louisiana change the name to Univ of Louisiana? Thought that failed, but could be wrong.

Technically, the correct branding is TROY in all caps. I won't throw a fit if someone doesn't adhere to our correct branding. It's not high on my list of things to complain about.

Well 98 apparently it ruffled your feathers that's how Cajun fans feel so it didn't fail. By the way I would always adhere to what conference mates want to be called except maybe on game week because that's just the fan in me. So whether you like it or not point made Cajuns will do that's all I'm asking then no one is pissed or confused.
