A Sea Of Red

I really have no feel for where this week's win puts us. Thoughts? I don't see us moving up more than 1 or 2 spots.

I think we might slide up a bit because teams are losing, and people who have us lower (20's) will move us up by default and add points to our total.

In the coaches' poll we'll be either 11 or 12. In the TSN poll, we'll be 13-14.

Some of the Swing teams between those 2 polls (Richmond, Robert Morris, others) make it almost comical,

told u we'd be 14 in the TSN. Didn't know if we'd jump Montana as well which would have put us 13th.

How in the world is JMU staying in the top 25 of any poll?

Are you kidding me??? They beat Liberty.

And haven't you ever read their fans on message boards? They are AMAZING!

Is 12 the highest we've ever been?

We were 12 last week.

We've been as high as 8.

Should be no question that we can get inside of 8 if we win out. Several of those teams ahead of us play each other and will knock each other down. It doesn't help our goal of getting to the playoffs and winning but it would be a nice accolade to acheive the school's highest ever ranking. A playoff run and highest ranking would count toward a sizeable step forward for the program this year.

I am more nervous about these next three games more than I am nervous about where we are in the polls!
