Louisiana Ranked #17 in AP, USA Today Polls

[NewsCopy]

After picking up the program's first win over Sun Belt Conference foe Appalachian State, Louisiana Football has moved to No. 17 in both the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today/Amway Coaches Poll.

The No. 17 ranking is the team's highest in the modern era in the AP Poll, surpassing its No. 19 ranking from earlier in the season, while achieving its highest ever position in the Coaches Poll.

In its last outing, Louisiana was able to overcome miserable conditions in Boone, N.C., to secure a 24-21 win over Appalachian State.

With the win, the program has now defeated every team in the Sun Belt under head coach Billy Napier.

Louisiana now shifts its focus to the Sun Belt Conference Championship Game on Saturday, Dec. 19, against No. 11 Coastal Carolina.

The title game is slated to kickoff at 11 a.m. CST and will be broadcast on either ESPN or ESPN2.

They need to get these guys up at 5 AM every morning from here on out & get em full of Red Bull by 9 AM. All of em except Boudreaux. Let him sleep & feed him cookies & milk to calm him down.

Congratulations to all life long Cajun fans. This has been a long time coming. The Cajuns are by far the best team in Louisiana this season.

Kinda sucks we didn’t play any state schools this year to prove it on the field. The naysayers can still say nay. That’s why I want la tech in a bowl on Christmas Day. I’ll return all my other gifts for that.

I was starting to wonder if I would live to see it. My fandom started with the Stokley era. These are the good ole days!

We shall see, but I predicted either 20 or 21 after Saturday nights games.

Could you imagine if we played LSU this year? Our first SEC win over LSU!
