Q: History of Top-25 matchups

[CajunSaint08]

Is this the first time as a top 25 program the Cajuns play another top 25 program? When they were ranked in the 40's, did they play another ranked team then?

So this might be a first and another record set.

Geaux Cajuns!!!

This will be a first.

In 1943 the Randolf Field Ramblers should have been highly ranked and in 1944 they were.

They had a 9–1–1 record, with their only loss coming at the hands of Louisiana.

They played Texas to a 7–7 tie in the 1944 Cotton Bowl.

Arkansas Montecello should have been ranked as well.

Every school not tied in to the V-12 program was playing without all their upper classmen from the year before. Basically junior college talent, yet the media gave them the same respect they always had.

Thanks Turbine.

I haven't looked real close, is there a poll where Coastal is ranked?

Last I saw, they were one spot behind us. That could have changed since I've been out of commission for the past 5 days.

The Chants are high up in the "others getting votes" in the AP and Coaches polls, but that's all I've seen.

Coastal Isn’t in the top 25 anywhere but Conway.

On Wednesday, I hope we find a 'way' to expose the 'Con'

Ap and Coaches BOTH have them in the low "30's" (if you count past 25 in numbers of votes).
This will NOT be a "Top 25 Matchup."
A GOOD matchup, but not Top 25.

For starters, they might be a bit travel fatigued. Not sure why, but their charter flight is landing at MSY instead of LFT, arriving at 7:00pm tonight. They might not hit their hotel until well after 10:00.

Maybe no available hotel rooms in LFT and they’re spending tonight in NOLA.

Very likely explanation.

That's correct. The electrical workers from out of state gobbled up the hotel rooms.

I don't know where I saw it. But you are correct. I couldn't find it again. Still will be a tough game. Geaux Cajuns.

They still had more votes than LaSU. That would be 2 Sunbelt teams ranked higher than LaSU.

Maybe App State too?
