AP / Coaches Poll for Oct 6

Michigan and Southern Cal have good reputation. Our football program is terrible in the past 15 or 20 years.
 
How the hell does 3-2 Arizona, who has looked awful, have 11 votes?? More than 5-1 Texas Tech, who beat them in Tucson last night? Not to mention UNLV with 11 vs our 1, Stanford loss or not that is dumb
Coaches probably voted before they went to bed. I think it was like half time at midnight here. But agree, most coaches don’t seem to put much thought into it at all
 
Agreed llandz - we just beat them and they get 11 to our 1????? Something just ain't right there.
Well, they received less votes than before the game and we received more (even if it is just one). Vandy got more votes and Alabama dropped, but Vandy did not pass them in the overall rankings just because they beat them. There is a certain element of "apples and oranges" in this argument, but the rationale still holds, especially for those who don't have any particularly warm feelings or positive impressions of our Orangemen.

It is not a good comparison. Syracuse and UNLV both have one loss. Alabama has one loss and Vanderbilt has two losses.
 
The coaches poll voters are either coaches who don’t see the games or SIDs who don’t care either way.

I trust the AP poll will be more kind to SU.
Seeing as most coaches have other things to do on Saturday’s I wouldn’t expect them to see many games.A lot of them probably have their wives or friends fill out their ballots.
 
Current Sagarin. We don't play the Top 4 in the ACC, and only one team on our schedule is currently Top 34. Our best OOC is #39. That Stanford loss hurts. Our SOS thus far is 94th.

We are exactly in the middle of the ACC (9th). So step one get into the Top half of the ACC. Step two get ahead of the Top FCS. Step three get to 5th in the ACC (25% teams above and 75% below). Step four get to 2nd in the Northeast. I think all of those are possible and realistic goals.
