Winning this week certainly won't help us either. We really need JMU to start winning and Laffy to win out.

We moved down because App and EIU jumped us with big wins. We didn't lose ground because of what we did, it was based on what other teams did.

And there are teams ahead of us that will fall soon...

I like how you think, Lefty.

It's what we've been saying since the JMU game. Win out and we'll be in the discussion, and obviously we need some help to be seriously considered. We've gotten some of that help so far.

See BJ, EXACTLY what I was talking about in the post-mortem thread...

And exactly what I already addressed earlier. This is a COMPUTER RANKING. We didn't go down because we lost. We went down because teams below us beat better teams than we did. Playing CSU tanked our Strength of Schedule.

The Big South hurting us again. . . . . . . haha

To add on to this... we stayed the same or moved up in all the polls, including a leap up into the Coaches' Poll. So we're on the way up, not down.
