We got one vote in the new Coaches poll

NCAA Football - Amway Coaches Poll | USA Today Sports

As my late grandfather used to say: "hey, it's better than a kick in the ass."

Not sure if Dabo has a vote, but that would be my bet.

 

[Alsacs]

Honestly we are the MTSU loss from being a top 25 team this year.

Our schedule has been insanely hard thus far it’s not a joke to get a vote at 4-4.

Dabo doesn't have a vote.

Dabo doesn't have a vote.

Does Richt have one?

SOS is 34th as of yesterday's games.

 

[Alsacs]

SOS is 34th as of yesterday's games.

Does SOS factor road/home?
Or just team?
Our schedule has been hard because of @ LSU, @ NC State, @ Miami.
That is 3 top 25 road games.

Plus I am sure Central Connecticut dings SU a lot in SOS.

 

[blust2i3d4]

Syracuse got one vote.

Did Dino vote for himself?

Yes, I'm pretty sure Sagarin weights home and away games.

Our ACC slate has been very challenging, but our non-conference games were weak for SU standards: CCSU (198th), Central Michigan (114th), Middle Tenn (124th) and LSU (27th).

IIRC they only do that for the AP poll, which is media members. Doubt coaches want people to know who they voted for, for many reasons.

Nope.

He doesn't have a vote.

A lot of our 'winnable' games were very winnable. The other ones were extremely hard. Not a lot of teams go through LSU + Clemson + Miami better than 1-2.

In fact, not a lot of teams go through those 3 + NCSU better than our 1-3.

So Dabo does have a vote

My bad. Dabo does have a vote.

My money would be on Doeren or Dabo.

Pretty much every school has a CCSU type of school in their schedule. Therefore, it should have no effect.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Just the miles logged is a challenge (couple that with the climate changes). I doubt there is another team that has three trips as taxing as @LSU, @Miami, and @FSU. Factor in a really good NC State and a visit to the home of the most dynamic player in the Country, that is a friggin gauntlet, regardless of what Sagarin comes up with.

Everybody pretty much nowadays plays a tomato can but I meant our tomato can was one of the worst ones.
I like playing bad tomato cans as we get the score we got. If we played a Villanova type their ranking would be a lot higher than 188th.

 

[elimunelson]

Well deserving of that vote. We need an FSU/Wake Back 2 back to get to 6-4. Then it gets fun to see how far this season can go

 

[anomander]

I am shocked our SOS is only 34th.

In comparison Cal has the #1 SOS...Their schedule:

@UNC
Weber St
Ole Miss
USC
@Oregon
@Washington
Washington St
Arizona

On paper it may be tougher, but I think ours was actually harder. They just don't have multiple teams weighing it down. CCSU, CMU, and MTSU all being in the 100's really hurt out overall number.

Another example...Georgia has the #2 SOS. I don't care what the numbers say. This schedule is not harder then ours:

App St
@ND
Sam Houston St
Miss St
@Tennesee
@Vandy
Missouri

Only really tough game was @ND.

The bottom of our schedule is really hurting the overall strength.
