No. 33!!

The recognition is nice but we're nowhere near the 33rd best team in the nation. I'd put us in the 50's or 60's. The only two decent teams we've played this year handled us pretty easily. The computers have it right. The AP humans have it right. The coaches, well, they don't pay attention that much.

Agreed, but the polls rarely reflect a true Top 25. I believe we need signiture wins year in and year out (I.E. Arkansas and Kansas States) and run the table in conference to be considered a true Top 25 team. That being said, I think we could line up and beat any non AQ team out there, that itself is a huge accomplishment for our program.

The bcs system is the most objective and comprehensive ranking system college football has ever had. It is fact that our Cajuns are ranked #33 in that system. If the Cajuns can pull out wins the next 2 weeks they will probably be in the 25-30 range. Until the CajunRebel poll becomes part of the BCS formula, I will just run with what they have.

I will kneel at the side of my bed and pray that we make up those 11 spots!

My LSU friends will kneel at the side of their bed and pray that we don't!

And #74 Toolame thinks its beneath them to possibly face us in the New Orleans Bowl?!!!

[MelRock]

I know the feel they are beneath us, but I think it has more to do with the @$$ whooping that we would give to them.

Note: This poll is just a projection at this time, tonight the real BCS standings come out. So....hold on a little while.

If only I could get those BCS jerks to add the CajunRebel poll.

They feel it is not a reward to their players to play a lower tier bowl in their home stadium. It is also not a reward to be humiliated by thirty points.

I can understand the argument against playing in your own town / stadium since it might not have that same feel as traveling for a bowl, especially for the players. And their fans would never admit to a fear of loosing to us. But for them to think that any Bowl is beneath them is ludicrous. And for them to think that playing UL, or anyone else in D1A for that matter, is beneath them is even more ludicrous.

But compare their Harris and Coaches votes to ours. They may only be 11 spots of ahead of us in a poll but are still heads and heels better than us at this point. We are getting better but don't go out and think we're ready for the Top 25 or anything.

Totally understand they're a better team but it's just so damn funny to me. I pointed out the BCS poll to a SERIOUSLY die hard tigger fan (co-worker) about how we were 11 spots behind LSU this morning and he had absolutely. nothing. to say. The silence warmed my heart.
