The Four Week Question...

[newmexicuse]

Have we ever been number 1 for more consecutive weeks ?

If so, I am not re-collecting it.

Are you sure that's correct?

11 weeks is a very long time at #1. I remember losing to Nova to lose the #1 ranking (early January), but I don't remember being #1 for that long when it happened (definitely not 11 weeks).

Guess this is an authority; 11 seems high to me, too.

Wow, I'm an idiot. 11 games, not weeks.

I found a nice site while researching the topic: www.collegepollarchive.com

It seems to have every poll by week (you've got to play with it to find it). It also has nice toggles to list all time weeks at #1 for different teams.

that shows #1 for 11 straight games, not 11 straight weeks

the record is 6 consecutive weeks, from that season

I'm enjoying the ride while it lasts. We keep it going 2-3 more weeks...when we lose we might only drop to #2 or #3.

If we are still #1 when the poll is published January 23, we will have been longer at the top than any team in SU history (7 weeks in a row).
