I understand about how big a factor preseason rankings make, but I also think it's about more than them still being undefeated and whom they've played; it's also the manner in which they've won those games. I'm probably in the minority but I have no issue with them being ranked above us, nor with San Diego State.

The bigger issue is you guys not being ranked at all. Hopefully that changes today.

Coming into this week, I didn't even have an issue with us not being ranked at all. AFTER this week's games will be an interesting story because the teams ahead of us in AP who lost this week are as follows...

#25 Texas (24-32 to Oklahoma State)
#20 Florida (42-49 to LSU)
#19 BYU (24-38 to Baylor)
#18 Arizona State (21-35 to Utah)

#17 Arkansas (23-38 to Auburn)
#11 Kentucky (13-30 to Georgia)
#2 Iowa (7-24 to Purdue)


We were #29 in AP last week. There's a solid chance that Texas, Florida, BYU, and Arizona State losing could drop them below us. Iowa and Kentucky losing definitely won't drop them far enough for it to help us. That leaves #17 Arkansas. Whether or not we'll be ranked might depend upon what happens with them, as their loss was to an Auburn team that's already far ahead of us in votes.

Congrats runners on the football equivalent of a perfect game.

I don’t see anyone in conference showing you guys down now.

I think Cincinnati will hold on to the G spot but I would not be surprised if UTSA and Cincy are last two standing G5 unbeatens after the regular season.

Does it mean they actually found it? :)
