I didn’t think we’d make it but that’s really far away. Even a win next week probably won’t do it.
They needed a 4th quarter comeback to beat Western Kentucky yesterday.
Both VT and Washington have lost some tough games, games they could easily have won. By the end of the season, I think our victories over them are gonna look better than they do now.
Does a former RU QB get any credit for the Rutgers and Kentucky rankings? Asking for a few posters.
Who else dropped out besides Ok St.
IU and UNLV are new so who else got bumped. Illinois is still there.
Duke 5-0 didn’t get any votes.
Edit: A&M is tied with UNLV..so that’s how no one else dropped out with Ok St

We're not getting any "help" from the teams ahead of us either. It's a log jam at the bottom. The preseason & top ranked teams lose and can't fall far enough, the lower end teams can't rise high enough. Only GT and FSU have completely faded out.

Because ESPN already has all those Cam Rising bumpers & promos shot and ready to roll.
There were a lot of prognosticators who thought RU was going to be a dark horse this year
The thing is, we immediately looked pedestrian game one
again,game two
IF you look at the start of both games
Not the final scores, but how the games went
We Then proceeded to win the next two, again but not impressively
It seems, and rightly so, that RU is ranked fairly right now
RU got to 4-O but has not impressed enough to push their way all the way up
But we are noticed now, so we have that
It would be interesting if we beat Nebraska, but it is another close call with numerous mistakes by both teams
If it goes that way, I wonder what the excuses will be then if we don't crack the Top 25.
I felt better about our chances this week honestly with lots of ranked teams playing each other or playing teams receiving votes. I know it looks like we’re super far off but if we would’ve finished the damn job and took down Roger’s on that 4th down prayer he completed the game would’ve likely ended either 21-10 or maybe even 24-10 being that we would’ve taken over close to FG range with less than 3 minutes to play. Instead it was a 21-18 finish and lots of talk about Washington’s 500+ yards.
Meanwhile - it’s going to be tough to crack the rankings next week even with a win. Do teams not playing who are currently ranked fall out? Probably not. So that means Illinois, Oklahoma, Utah and BYU are virtually locked in. When you look at the lower half ranked teams playing, losses don’t look too promising next week either - other than A&M and maybe Cuse will beat UNLV but that only opens up one spot.
Yes - that’s what I’d have thought. But then, go look at the rankings. Who are we replacing?
