So you would consider your child a failure if they won a silver medal at the World Olympics???

Try reading. I said heartbroken FOR them. If they trained for years and got beat how do you think they would feel? No olympic athlete is satisfied with silver or bronze, it's that drive to be number one that makes them olympic athletes to begin with.

People - the foe option is your friend.

Try reading your own post before you post. Clarity matters. You are speaking of the child "knowing" they failed. Your application of the word is based on your expectation...not the kid's. Therefore YOU assigned the label of failure, as it was YOU who applied the standard. Maybe instead of putting words in other's mouths as with PH...you should check your own when implication is key to inference. You are "heartbroken" because your kid didn't meet YOUR standard, while success in such a way by most others would be considered amazing? So by your standard....if LU is in the CFP and loses the National Championship game....they are failures? SMDH

I’ll take it! No takebacks!

Ah. This explains why you don’t understand football. I’ll be more gracious in my comments moving forward.

Is Jon trolling us to get more page views?

Now in the mind of TrollNobes he would say that given the choice between beating Ole Miss or losing to them by 3 you’ve have obviously signified that you would much prefer LU losing by 3 than winning.
Once you realize they are a Troll, the thinking makes sense

Yes. Losing is MUCH better than winning. The clearest path to being written about EVERY week of the season is to be in RYAN MCGEE’s weekly column, “The Bottom Ten!”

I never would have guessed that we'd be ranked 17 in the nation this year and I would feel like we could have been ranked higher.

I don't so much have a problem with our ranking as I do with a team we beat and 2 teams that they beat being several spots above us.

Is it ranking the better team or the better season?

Looking ahead to next year, I find it somewhat humorous and not at all surprising that CCU is playing Kansas for the 3rd year in a row. That has Joe Moglia written all over it. You get to say you beat a P5 team, when actually you did nothing.

Liberty is the better team and had a better season. We were a field goal away from being 1 of only 2 undefeated teams in the nation.

They signed a 2-for-1. That's what you do as a G5 if you want P5 home games. You could say the same exact thing about our Syracuse game.

Thrilled!!

And BTW - tied for Freeze's second-best finish ever. Freeze's Ole Miss teams finished #10 in 2015 and #17 in 2014.

I could live with a similar trajectory in Coach Freeze's current run.

Really curious to see how the Coaches Poll looks when it is revealed.

For the record, Louisiana had a better season than Coastal and will be a VERY stiff opponent for us in November. And USC saved the Pac-12 from being completely shut out of the final rankings.

Syracuse is down right now, but they are only a couple of years removed from beating Clemson. Really can't compare them with Kansas, which is a long time dumpster fire and a sweet deal for any decent G5 team. Also, while a 2 for 1 is SOP, getting those games 3 years in a row is not.

17th. That's unreal. ranked above Texas, OSU, USC, Miami. Really Amazing.

I agree, but the pollsters are charged with determining the better team.

I do believe there is a bit of bias against us. I do believe there was a bit of hype for Coastal to start the season. Hopefully next season we can show them that we are the better team/program.

I am super grateful for our 17th ranking to the end the season. However, we are better than Coastal, 9 out of 10 times we beat them better as such with Louisiana Lafeyette. I also think BYU is better than Coastal and Louisiana. To have Coastal and Louisiana ranked higher than us is bull crap!!!

Coastal has always been a media favorite, even long before they went FBS.

Devils advocating: I think the 17th slot is an over achievement of biblical proportions. We have to be real to the schedule that we played and the teams that were historically down this year. On August 31, 2020 if we knew we would go 10-1 with the schedule ahead of us, we would be have deserved that merit. However, almost every team we played had a poor season by expectations. The argument for Coastal being above us is that they had 2 better wins than we did in UL and BYU. Throw in an additional W and a conference schedule played, objectively I get it their ranking.
In the end, we got the W over them and that's what really matters. No one remembers the post season rankings, outside of maybe the top 4 teams. We will remember the bowl win over Coastal, and they certainly will. They would happily trade the ranking for the win over us!
