32nd coaches Poll, 24 votes. 35 AP, 7 points

Right. I would suspect we get to 10-15 if we go 5-0 and it’s a game day like game Vs state. State could be top 5
Huh? 5-0 get us that high. We won't go from others receiving votes up to 10-15 by beating UVA and Wagner. I think we need those 2 to get somewhere between 20 -25.
Or are you implying that they would want to rank us higher to artificially create a more juicy showdown with NC State?

My guess is if we win this week we go to 20-22 range. Beat Wagner, some losses ahead of us and we will be moving way up for the nc state
 
we wont get ranked unless we beat NC st without a bunch of teams losing the next 2 weeks. Because a few of the teams right with might play better teams and pass us anyway. UL beating FSU would have helped us a bit.

Purdue Minn in 2 weeks big for that side of the B10 as well
 
Polls are overrated.
They are but they aren’t - being in the polls consistently means your a winning program regardless of if we disagree on some of the choices about the rankings. We need to be in these polls as much as possible, we need every ounce of media that shows we are a worthy program to go to as a high level college football player. Polls are definitely not overrated if your included in them!

They're inexact. But being ranked is a better life. You get more coverage and exposure.
 
Can some SU fans (maybe otto’s army) start a campaign bashing this loser.
Why try to bully writers into voting how we want for something that ultimately doesn’t matter and mostly works out on its own over time? Being our local writer shouldn’t compel any sort of vote our way. This isn’t the bcs where we’re working for some composite ranking. Just keep winning.

B/c he’s a douche and should be called out for it. Being a jerk as a local writer towards the local team has local economic impact he clearly doesn’t care about it either. Being ranked will get fringe fans to the dome thus having a positive overall impact. His vote doesn’t make that true but not voting is a douche move. This team shouldn’t supplant anyone right now but at the same time this is a 20-25 team right now.

But my original response was also a little douche and didn’t mean it to come off the way it prob sounds.

While I don't think what you're suggesting is the best approach, I do feel there's a certain ring to "don't be a dink, Mink."
 
Texas and Bama recognize good football, so that's a win.

Jersey guy? He knows tings ...
The Jersey guy is a graduate of Rutgers and the beat reporter for Rutgers. Certainly not aware of quality football. Maybe trying to make their win over us last year look better.
 
We're number 42 in Sagarin. We actually fell a spot after beating Purdue. And Purdue is still rated ahead of us at 37.

His ratings are purely based on scores, and opponent strength, which is based on scores.

Purdue is the better team.

"Basketball schools" are having a great start.

Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, UNC, Syracuse, UCLA, Indiana, Maryland. All 3-0.

Something's gotta give this weekend in the big Duke @ Kansas matchup.
