2020: Louisiana's Run Through the Rankings

[Tasso]

Deserving recognition. Onward and upwards!

I have been following Cajun Football since 1966. Great WIN yesterday

I have been walking through this desert since 1982.
I thought I would never see the day!!!!
Wow!!!

Amen brother. And I really think this is just the beginning of a fantastic season. It will be the ‘one’ we’ve been waiting for.
Kudos to Dr S., Dr. M. And of course HCBN.

Poo-yie, I never thought I'd see this day.

Is this our first ranking ever? Modern era? I don’t remember being ranked under Hud.

[CrappDaddy]

While I like the National attention, this just doesn’t feel like the real deal to me. Too many teams not playing football this year and not even factored into rankings. Great win, but would have been so much sweeter to watch this particular team have a regular season with fans in the stands.

We’d not be ranked if all the schools were playing ball. Take this with a grain of salt.

First ranking in the modern era. Last ranking was AP #15 in 1943.

In fact, Louisiana holds the distinction of having the longest time gap between recorded AP rankings. (1109 weeks I believe?)

No need to shoot ourselves with our own asterisk. Enjoy it while you can.

I will not take it with a grain of salt or an asterisk. The conferences that decided not to play did just that”decided”. we whipped a ranked team on their field. I know everyone’s calling Iowa state over rated now. But they might still contend in the big 12. They didn’t lose a game by 17 last year. What we did deserves the recognition. Now keep winning and climb the ladder.

If we go undefeated and make the playoff I’ll put an asterisk. Haha. But access bowl would be 100% earned.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I’m taking it. Not our fault conferences bailed.

[Policarp]

This has been an incredible 36 hrs. Absolutely oozing with Cajun pride.....meanwhile the haters are out in full and looking like petty jackarses to the entire nation.

Saw we were #23 in Massey a few moments ago.

[Redgineer]

Eventually I knew we would get ranked under Napier.
