Movin' on up!

[VObserver]

Even if we do not go up in any of the other 100+ ratings on the Massey Composite, this could give a 1 or 2 place bump to our Massey Composite ranking.

FWIW, at least for now we are also up 5 spots to 38 on Ken Massey's rating [not the composite].

Both the ESPN and Massey will change as scores come in today, as will all 100+ other services. I am betting on a slight move up for Louisiana, maybe to 32 or 33. It will help us if as many as possible of our opponemts win this weekend.

Georgia State losing out in conference would help us, as we play everyone who plays them, but dont play them.

If we take care of USA by 40 or 50 points, and convincingly beat Troy, I expect we will get a vote or two at 9-2. Regardless of actual quality of teams, no 2 loss SBC team will be ranked without a P5 win or at least 10 total wins. I guarantee you that one of Napier's goals is to hit the top 25 this season. I believe we will have to go 12-2 to be in both of Oiler's favorite polls.

Note that App has 1 loss and was previously ranked, and are no longer tnere, even with a P5 win..

Thats what happens when your best win is over a 5-3 team whose best win is over a 4-5 team.

Why would espn have us at #40, and App. State at #48? Is our SOS better than theirs?

Timing. Late loss hurts more than early loss. Also, if they beat South Carolina today, they will likely pass us up.
