You would think we would be 'higher' with our roster

[01LUGrad]

Meh. Who cares? Win the Big South and then rip some people up in the playoffs.

[PAmedic]

I understand why we aren't, and we dont really deserve to be ranked. But man does it sting to look at week after week.

W&M and Richmond are NOT good this year. CAA membership will give you the benefit of the doubt tho... BSOUTH won't

No reason W&M should still be ranked, other than preseason expectations apparently die hard with some voters. The Tribe has lost by 37 to UVa, didn't exactly blow VMI out, squeaked by New Haven by a field goal, barely beat a down Villanova team, and lost by three touchdowns to Delaware. Go figure.

Richmond got such a jump start with the opening win over Duke (for what that's worth). The two- and three-point losses to UNH and Towson aren't that bad, but the Spiders got ripped by JMU and seem to be fading fast.

[PAmedic]

I think App is WAY over-ranked as well. Polls really seem to be junk this year. Maybe 'cause we're not in them

[bigsmooth]

i honestly do not even look at the pollsnow because we will not be ranked till the end of the season. screw em.....we dont need no stinking polls!!!

[flameshaw]

I am amazed by how high Lehigh is ranked. They really didn't look all that good, JMU looked a lot better to me, especially their OL.

[flameshaw]

Woops.

[matshark]

We lose to #13 on a last second FG, lose at #9 by 3 on a fumble while we're driving for the win and we're unranked while they're sittin pretty... say what?!

You answered it yourself.

We've beat 2 FCS teams who are both probably in the bottom 25 of FCS. We've done NOTHING to deserve a ranking. I don't know who you're referring to by sitting pretty, but if it's CCU, they beat Furman, who is a lot more legit than anyone we've beat.
