Look, I know folks on this site are going to poo poo the espn power rankings. But this is as high as we have EVER been on ANY poll!
Congratulations, Cajuns!!!!
Sun Belt is also the Headliner on the site.
I have LONG been a "hater" of the SBC, but this Conference is finally doing well enough to surprise the other haters....
Perception my be changing.
I am on cloud 16
I just realized my signature doesn't exactly fit the situation. I don't care its talking about the 15 teams ranked ahead of UL.
No apologies here....I am enjoying it for all it’s worth right now.
In Billy I trust.
not to get ahead of everyone, BUT, if theres a season a G5 team can truly make noise, it'll be this one without 2 P5 conferences in the mix, in fact with those conferences in the mix we would likely be 4-5 spots lower on that ranking.
This is awesome.
Shows you what staying focused can accomplish.

1. Louisiana (3-0, 2-0 SBC)
Last week: No. 1
The Ragin’ Cajuns didn’t lose and for a week dropped out of the national polls. Louisiana didn’t play last weekend and moved back into The Associated Press and USA Toda Coaches’ polls (both at No. 23).
When they finally do play, if the schedule sticks (and that’s a big if), it will a huge matchup with the sizzling Chanticleers. UL crushed CCU 48-7 on national TV in 2019, getting some redemption for a 30-28 loss to CCU in 2018.
Up next: Hosts Coastal Carolina at 7:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 14, ESPN.
This article has me worried about coastal
CDS at it’s expressed finest.
We have had our close calls and persevered. We have a couple more tests on the schedule but our coaches will have them ready barring major Covid issues. Be cautious but have faith.
Was it CDS or pragmatic?Quote:

Despite a win, last Saturday, Louisiana is down two spots, to #56 in this week's ESPN Power Index.

LOUISIANA #3##5#
There are 40 losses ahead of Louisiana.
ps Welcome to the Ragin Pagin forums, BigBawlin.
Great first post.
Thanks
For the second time in the last five weeks, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns climbed in the latest ESPN College Football Power Index, which was released on Sunday.
Interesting numbers. Wish we could play Michigan or Penn St this year. Both have pretty bad teams. Esp. Michigan. But they have high power rankings. Based on what? Budget?
For the third time in the last six weeks, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns climbed in the latest ESPN College Football Power Index, which was released on Sunday.

On the projected wins/losses they have 8.7/2.3
Looks like bowl game W/L projections are not included in the season total.
For the fourth time in the last seven weeks, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns climbed in the latest ESPN College Football Power Index, which was released on Sunday.
Louisiana climbed to #36 in the ESPN College Football Power Index.
Kind of dumb index if the team a spot higher (#35) is 2-6 with 3 cancelations.Quote:

The writer DOES explain the 2-6 team is there because of less than one score losses that occurred late in game.
He claims the poll is “predictive” and not a reflection of “current” performance (whatever that means).
I agree though how can a 2-6 team be anywhere near a 9-1 (or 10-0) team under any formula??
Beats me...
