I can't believe 0-0 teams are ranked going into the 4th week of the season.
I guess I shouldn't be since a bunch of 0-0 coaches are voting.

Re: UL still nationally ranked after win that wasn't pretty
You know what.....at first I was a bit aggravated that 13 teams that haven't played a football game yet are ranked ahead of us. Now, I am kinda happy that all of these teams are being considered in the polls.
The last thing I want is for us to have a great season, be ranked, and have all the naysayers (you know who I am talking about) say we should have an asterisks by this season because not all teams participated. Lets just keep winning and stay in the polls with EVERYONE. GEAUX CAJUNS!
Truly Blessed

I think adding 5 Big Ten teams to the poll had EVERYTHING to do with the drop. What a crappy thread title.Originally Posted by NewsCopy

Keep winning and they can’t drop you out. Well, they can but don’t help them. At least we can say that we are still ranked in the coaches poll with the B1G considered too.

UL dropping in the polls had zero to do with how yesterday's victory looked, and 100% to do with the influx of unproven untested 0-0 teams.
. Louisiana Retains National Rankings for Second Consecutive Week
For the second consecutive week, Louisiana Football found itself among the nation's best teams after being voted No. 19 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 25 in the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll.
The Ragin' Cajuns have now been ranked in back-to-back weeks by both polls for the first time in program history. Louisiana is currently the only ranked Sun Belt Conference team and the fourth-highest Group of 5 team behind UCF, Cincinnati and Memphis.
The team escaped Atlanta with a 34-31 win against Georgia State in overtime after Elijah Mitchell scored from 12-yards out. The win marked Louisiana's (2-0, 1-0 Sun Belt) first victory in an overtime game since Oct. 29, 2005, when it defeated Troy, 31-28.
No. 19 Louisiana returns to Lafayette for its Sun Belt Conference home opener on Saturday, Sept. 26, when it hosts Georgia Southern at Cajun Field. Kickoff is slated for 11 a.m. CST and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.
. AP Top 25 Reality Check: Who's eligible? Who's playing?
The second regular-season AP Top 25 of the season includes Southeastern Conference teams that begin playing next week but not Big Ten teams that start playing in about a month.
Next week the SEC starts playing and the Big Ten teams become eligible for the AP Top 25.
The Pac-12 seems prepared to get a fall football season fired up soon, too. And when it does, those teams will show up back in the rankings, too.

In the coaches poll, we dropped 4 spots to #25. They're getting ready to drop us out.
