I still don't see how UVA gets 5 and we get 1!!!

JM-that'll change if we beat JMU, Marist, GW, and win down in Cancun. Right now they're giving UVA the benefit of the doubt due to those two players leaving.

be happy we got one vote....we will keep winning and we will move up.

They took their names off the roster on the UVa website... their radio guys seemed to think they had left the team.

Also, Coach Ryan doesn't vote for the AP poll... just media. BUT... Jeri Porter and Rick Reeves vote in the USA Today poll which comes out tomorrow. Maybe some love there.

The leaving is for sure... they could come back but they have left. According to the UVa folks, they withdrew from school, so they could enroll again but I would guess that would have to be in January.

We may be talking about different players... UVa has a couple injuries on top of the players who left the team. I can't imagine if a player was just injured that their name would be taken off the roster and their bio taken off the web site.

There biggest issue is getting Williams healthy... she got hurt verses SDSU.

No love in the coaches poll was shown towards us, JMU, UVA or VT. Pittsburgh was in the top 30, and George Washington was ranked 20th. Maryland was, unsurprisingly, first. Don't know if we'll get any love in this poll or not this season, even if we beat VT, JMU, Pitt and GW.

Patience, folks. 5-0 with one good win (at Virginia) does not a Top 25 team make, especially if said team is from the Big South Conference. If Liberty beats JMU tomorrow, Virginia Tech next Tuesday and GW a week from Sunday, then I think you can legitimately call the Flames one of the 25 best teams in the country.

Looking forward to the JMU game tomorrow. Equally looking forward to grabbing a Qdoba burrito pregame. I loves me some Qdoba.

Excellent points Chris....Qudoba's sounds good to me too. I may have that for dinner tonight!

manger, the UVA girls have left. i ran into my insider at the UVA game sunday afternoon. lang does make excellent points as usual...again way to early to worry about freaking polls right now!

ok. i must have been confused on something then.
