Agree. Beat App and Ark State and they have a serious argument.

I think we have a good shot if we get to 9-1 after beating stAte possibly after App. Navy should fall below us now

I think the whole discussion is about 3 weeks early.

But, speculation never killed anyone.

Boise state about to lose

I will vomit my innards out if Western Michigan gets the access bowl. Could've shredded that defense if we had a competent coaching staff.

Ya we need them to lose to someone too. I think they will

Way early.

Had we gotten the correct call at Clemson game we might have won and would be sitting in prime position for that access bowl.

happy for you Troy fans that the team is doing well, but you need to just calm down, still a long way before this discussion, you guys are acting like its foregone conclusion you have won the SBC. Still got a long way to go.

No one is thinking we have won the sbc

Just a little discussion in national attention

Now's as good of a time as any...why wait?

you guys are setting yourself up for a big letdown

Its week 9. And all Troy needs to do is

1) Win out
2) Have WMU lose to either Toledo or in the MAC championship game
3) Not get screwed for a 2 or 3 loss AAC team or to a 2 loss Wyoming team or a 1 loss SDSU team that got curbstomped by USA.

Its an odd place for a Belt team to be. Let them have their fun. WMU is going to Dallas in all likelihood. But who knows?

I agree. It's way too early. It will be extremely tough to beat both APP and ARKST. You guys are peaking at the right time. And no one has even remotely said we will auto-win the SBC title. Losts of football left to play.

If Lincoln had speculated that there was at least one mad man out there who wanted to kill him, he might not have walked into Ford's Theatre that night.

So yes, speculation can kill.

Scenario of the day

Troy begins to win out. Heads into December at 10-1 ranked as the 2nd best G5 team. The night before they play at Georgia Southern, Western Michigan loses in the MAC title game. With the entire Sun Belt World watching them, they walk into Statesboro and lose to Georgia Southern, costing the league 6 million, and earning Tyson Summers a contract extension, to the abject horror of Southern fans everywhere.

Yeah, not the most ideal of circumstances, to be honest.

Troy now getting 20 votes in AP poll and 7 in Coaches poll

Good for #29 and #32

I've got 20 in the AP poll. http://collegefootball.ap.org/poll
And 7 in the Coaches.

Much better to be higher in the AP poll.

Ya meant AP

That's a lot of votes and a big jump for a bye week

It was the lack of speculation that did him in.
