Coaches Poll - 1 vote

If we win out and WKU wins out, which should happen, we have two 9-3 teams playing in the conference championship at The Joe. The winner i think will be ranked in the top 25!

game would be played at Independence Stadium. We have a whole thread about it. Check page 2 or 3

Apparently RX does not do social media.

He once relied on THE BBB for information and was a great contributor here. Glad to know he is still one of us.

after 7 straight wins, not a single vote in AP or Coaches. But Troy gets ranked?

Holtz was in the Coaches this week so I guess he doesn't feel we're Top 25 material either :P

It's timing. We started out with nothing then lost 3 of 4.

Pretty sure a coach can't vote on his own team. They rarely do the actual voting anyway.

That was more tongue in cheek. Holtz could put us at #1 but it doesnt matter since no one else is noticing. I think I'm more salty about Troy (Troy!!) getting #25 and us not even getting the tiniest bit of recognition. This is the Sun Belt's first AP ranking EVER.

[PawDawg]

We know how bad the best Sunbelt teams are, but 1 loss vs. 3 losses makes a difference.

They have 1 P5 on their schedule. UMass at home. A win against a winless Austin Peay. 6 point win vs USM. And won conference games...

by 4 vs 7-3 App State
by 7 vs 4-5 USA
by 10 vs 2-8 GSU
by 21 vs 6-4 Idaho
by 46 vs 2-7 NMSU

Theres a general breakdown. Nothing pops out other than that they won.

We say they haven't beaten anybody. Appy State?

They say we haven't. WKU?

1 loss vs. 3 losses is the perception.

If we'd beated Arkansas, we'd probably be seeing #24 or #25 this week. As it is, I imagine *if we win out* we might be #24 heading into the NO Bowl.

We are going to the HOD bowl this year. Personally, I don't give a crap about the Louisiana Lafayette Community College Super Bowl. That's where they strive to go every year, and we're better than that.

[Beaver-Dog]

If we win out, we should get first pick on what bowl game we go to. Hope it isn't the NO Bowl.

[sportdawg]

I heard T-Mac really wants to go to the Bahamas!

I was hoping someone would call me out on this so I could point out that TMac would probably fight for a sport in the LLCCSB or some equally bad opponent because he thinks we're a SLC team.

I get the Troy ranking, they are 8-1. However, WKU getting 11 votes and we get none is strange. Whatever, Beat So Miss and WKU and we will be fine.

Ive seen where that might be a mistake? Votes meant to go to West Michigan.
