Bs
But I predict that is about right
16-17 (behind CCU, where ever they land)
About what I would have predicted, except I expected Texas to jump us, not fracking Liberty.
Polls are supposed to be where you are now not where you were.
Louisiana's last second loss to Coastal is so last year. Not that it is discounted, but Coastal ended the season with a LOSS.
Louisiana with a WIN.
Y’all upset now? Wait till we’re not ranked to start next year.
I’m not upset other than UNC being ahead of us. Even if a prediction.
Pray tell, who were we going to jump? 15 has been the ceiling during the season for the G-5s not named Cincinnati; even awhile for CCU. They kept winning and forced the issue. BYU is afforded some slack by the cabal since they got a championship in the last 40 years.
Fully expect not to be ranked next fall. Nobody is going to be stupid enough to not play from the get go. More P-5’s needed at the trough, not as much room for G-5s next year.
A couple of observations.
8 teams with 1 loss in top 25 - 6 are G5
Darlings of the CFP not hurt much by a loss - Cincinnati 2 spots, Florida 2 spots, NC no spots,
The game they went the wildest on was Coastal - Liberty. Coastal lost 7, Liberty gained 8. I warned about the Liberty thing and was told I was crazy (I may be crazy but it’s not for that)
12 to 15 really got us. Moving Liberty ahead of Coastal put them ahead of us. Florida lost for the 4th time and stayed in that gap. NC with 4 loses stayed in that gap. Liberty was granted too much of a bump and 4 loss teams should just not be ahead of 1 loss teams especially when one of them has a win against 9 who should be ahead of Cincinnati at 8.
If this is how it turns out, we again got no favors for our good win and will have been severely penalized for a 3 point loss. Liberty’s loss was to 20, ours was to 16.
Our best case scenario would have been the following: Liberty to 19 right under OK ST, COASTAL to right below us because they refused to play in Championship game and lost their bowl game and NC and Florida right below us and Coastal for having 4 losses. That would have moved us to 13.
I too rooted for CCU over Liberty because it would have helped UL. but see where “rooting” got me (see silver linings playbook).
With that said, this is still a PREDICTION.
We shall see what finally plays out. If we make it to 15, I will be stunned.
This is glorious. We're b**ching about our projected year end ranking. Definite sign of success. Carry on!
