Wow....

Approaching top 25 earlier than I thought. AP Voters don't care about blowout style points.

I think Frankie will do a good job of getting his team to Ignore the polls...survive and advance.

'08 Ball State entered at 25 after week 7 in the AP, 1 vote ahead of Wisconsin.  They were 29 in the Coaches, 23 points out.  Before the MAC Championship, they'd risen to #12 AP, #13 in the Coaches, #12 in BCS.

Coaches don't seem to like us as much, even with OSU out bumping us up a spot.  We'll see.

That is true, my hope is that the couple teams from 25-33 ahead of us that didn't lose didn't dominate either.

A visit to Pollstalker shows that we actually had 8 more voters casting votes for us on their AP Top 25 ballot than Michigan -- we got pushed out by Michigan because a "rouge" reporter (Jon Wilner, San Jose Mercury News) decided to place Michigan at #14 (higher than any other voter). That #14 vote gave them more than enough points to edge out our beloved Bobcats. 

Get your pitchforks, men!

Here's the chart I referred to in my previous post. As you can see, Ohio held the 25th place on the chart (in terms of number of reporters who included the team on their ballot). It wasn't even close between 25th and 26th (Ohio and Michigan):

 Team   # of Votes   Highest Rank   Lowest Rank 
 LSU 
 Oregon 
 Oregon State 
 Clemson 
 USC 
 Florida 
 West Virginia 
 South Carolina 
 Florida State 
 Stanford 
 Georgia 
 Alabama 
 Notre Dame 
 Kansas State 
 Texas 
 Ohio State 
 Oklahoma 
 Mississippi State 
 Louisville 
 Rutgers 
 Cincinnati 
 Louisiana Tech 
 Texas A&M 
 Boise State 
 Ohio 
 Michigan 
 Baylor 
 TCU 
 Iowa State 
 Michigan State 
 Arizona State 
 Washington 
 North Carolina State 
 Nebraska 
 Texas Tech 
 Tulsa 
 Penn State 
 Duke 
 Northwestern 
 Arizona 
 Tennessee 
 
Just bummed because I think it would have been extra-special to play on Homecoming as a nationally-ranked team.

I think the Penn St. win this weekend gave us a few more votes.

well, slap me on the ass and call me Judy.  I'll take it.  I guess at some point, the streak takes on a life of its own. Keep on winning.

#31 in the coaches poll. I'm really surprised by this. May  be more about teams moving down then us moving up.

Next week #22A&M(4-1) plays #23LaTech(5-0). That guarantees a loss that will likely bump us up. If LaTech wins though they will become the favored BCS Buster.

We are better off getting in after next week and then have a week off to put it all in the proper perspective.                          GO BOBCATS

Ha ha. I see what you did there. "Rogue" as opposed to "rouge."

And to think I graduated from Scripps...

If the Sports Illustrated article does run this week, that will help our ranking more than anything else (except an Oho victory of course).
