Only 3 votes in coaches poll.

and I'm guessing none in the AP. Beating NC State (# 22 in coaches poll now) will not get us ranked.

 

[Trueblue25]

Smacking nc state may sneak us in there. The bummer is the 3-2 acc conference record that’d have us up to

 

[cuse309]

Ye, perhaps a smackdown like a 44-20 type of win would get us in.

 

[SmilinBob]

Just win games and good things will happen. Voters won't remember a lot of the scores just their record.

Coaches poll is largely a joke because none of the coaches actually watch any games. It’s should be called the “Sports Information Directors’ Poll” because they are the ones filling out the rankings each week

 

[orangenauburn]

That's why you cannot blow a game like we did at Pitt.

We'd be bowl eligible, 6-1, and ranked.

No different than the AP. They don’t watch any more games than a coach. Probably fewer.

Yep most of them are covering a game and doing their articles afterwards.

 

[rocfan44]

Gotta think we need to beat NC State and then WF to get in. And when we do that we will be probably #23, not any higher.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Please no poll/ranking posts.

 

[orangenauburn]

Please no poll/ranking posts.

Correct

That window shut a few weeks ago.

 

[hungrychuck]

Couldn’t care less about poll votes.

Let’s nail down a bowl berth. Then let’s work on improving that berth.

Do that and we’ve had a year, regardless of ranking.

Well when you're ranked, you are more likely to get highlights shown and talked about on tv, but I see what you're saying also.

God, who cares?

It just doesn't matter.

 

[HOFCeluck]

It just doesn't matter.

I mean it’s a national perception thing and also something we haven’t accomplished for seventeen years and counting.

That being said the loss st Pitt really should’ve killed this talk.

 

[upperdeck]

getting ranked is what gets you on the recap shows.

 

[longislandcuse]

Being ranked matters. It’s a big deal. Especially for a program trying to get back on the map and build stronger recruiting classes.

Pittsburgh is so bad. The loss became our great sin. Now we need to reach 8-2 to be ranked. And after that, we can afford losing only to Notre Dame. If losing to BC, the 8-4 record will kick us out of top 25.

 

[Chris02M]

win next week and we re enter the conversation on the 20-25 slots

 

[PhatOrange]

Hard to fathom Ohio State gets curb stomped 49-20 by a 3 loss team and only dropped 6 or 7 spots.

 

[Briancuse]

Did we look like a top 25 team yesterday?

I don't know. Does App St look like a top 25 team?

 

[Briancuse]

NO voters got that one wrong.

 

[dollarbill44]

NO voters got that one wrong.

Which was my point. You don't have to "look" like "it" to be ranked 21 to 25.

For a 10 minute span absolutely
