Lil sensitive huh

Na. To be honest I'm still feeling my way through the whole FBS opportunity we have in the Sun Belt. Sorta scratching my head at all the national attention we're getting despite being here. Seems to me we all have a great opportunity in the Sun Belt. GS and Appy have added much positive. Crappy's a bit slow out of the gate but mark my word they will make some noise and soon. We're in a very good spot if I'm correct. I'm liken it more and more.

This is a good thing. GS is getting positive attention. Nobody has been talking about strength of schedule or who GS does or does not play. It is good for the conference. Any NCAA ranking any SBC school can get is positive.

Everyone was worried about the FCS move-ups not pulling their weight and weakening the conference. But NOW people are worried about GS doing well and making the rest of the conference look bad?

How so? GS played two ACC teams and lost to one with a QB center exchange fumble ON THE ONE with time running out. NC State basically hail Maryed to pull of the last second win by one. A loss to G Tech on a controversial reversal with time running out to lose by 4. Both times GS was driving to ice the deal and go ahead by two scores with time running out. No biggie but both were controversial calls by refs that changed the outcome of the games and of course both were away. Not looking for moral victories just indicative of a pretty good team in any conference IMO.

Why is it that every time I defend Georgia Southern some Georgia Southern fan comes along and acts like I insulted them?

I understand his point. I'm just trying to point out the obvious and continue his point. Bottom line is that this conference is getting more competitive and it appears significantly so given everyone holds the fort.

Ga Southern up to #8 and featured as a week 10 "mover". And they know who the real "GSU" is as evidenced below.

Elsewhere, Georgia Southern blew out another Sun Belt opponent, and in case you didn't realize -- this is the Eagles' first year at the FBS level. GSU moved up to No. 8 in this week's top 15 and if you haven't seen them play, we suggest you watch them.

Those rankings mean nothing.

It means your team is putting up numbers and both sides of the ball are doing well. Not one team on that list has more than two losses so there is a strong correlation to being on the list and not sucking ass, therefore meaningful. I bet you would like to see your team on that list.

We are #1 in the fan vote as well... :)

GSU lost to ACC refs on the GT game. There were two calls that would have got middle school officials suspended. Especially one that went to the booth.

I totally disagree the conference is not getting more competitive take away the top 4 or 5 and the rest of the conference can't compete now that's not knocking the conference we just need to get better at the bottom I know we were one of those non competitive teams once.

Its is great for the conference and for GS to get a mention but it is a horribly inaccurate ranking. There is currently an undefeated team in the nations toughest conference and division not even in the top 15. Yet a sunbelt school with 2 ACC losses is in there. Again its great for the SBC but grossly inaccurate.

I did, its a horrible power ranking based solely on stats. Nothing about strength of schedule or the fact GS gets a pass on Ark St. and ULL. Great for the SBC but the formula is obviously heavily flawed when Miss St is not even top 15.

So you just feel they should not do this poll? It is based on stats and Miss St isn't in the top 15 of the cumulative stats. And I'm sure our offensive stats wouldn't be much different if we did play Ark State or UL.

They already have a ranking that takes SOS into account, and Miss St is number 1. It is just a fun/different ranking they do. Not sure why your panties are in a twist over this.

Issue being they are calling it Power Rankings. If they want to call it Offense/Defense comparative analysis have at it, but to call it Power rankings without taking into account losses and opponents is laughable.
