Final AP football poll

[Bandwagon King]

It sounds like you’re jumping off the bandwagon. Wtf Kyle?

This is the kind of ____ that makes me want to jump off the college bandwagon all together. This is one of the most disheartening days of my life pulling for this school. I can't believe we got stabbed in the back, the throat, the gut, & the leg by these people without any regard for what this school had to achieve to do what they just did in this day & age.

[Scott Malkinson]

I would suggest someone from the university take time to understand the accomplishments that were made & make an issue of those accomplishments a matter of priority to inform the people involved in these polls of the situation & educate them at the very least. At the worst someone should be screaming from the highest hill top that the G-5s are getting screwed over every day by the power brokers so it could be argued that UL's 13 wins based on the way the system is rigged are stronger than Alabama's. But if no one fights for any better, then don't ever expect any better. Because it's not going to happen.

There are 61 voters from every corner of the country what are you going to do send them a gift basket

Which is why we should have done EVERYTHING possible to try to play that game against Wake Forest in the Gator Bowl.

But you had to know that wasn't going to happen. We already had five guys duck out of the NO bowl. How many more would have ducked that game? And then you have us at a complete disadvantage to Wake Forest giving them the clear cut edge which they wouldn't deserve, but get none the less. There is no winning scenario for a G-5 school.

With all the other crap that's being given away & wasted in this sport, why not? Why not send each voter a Ragin Cajun ball cap & politic for the votes? It beats the hell out of not doing anything? You can justify any of the other crap these people pulled if you want. But there is no justifying moving Wake forest above UL in the final poll based on their bowl opponent, Unless UL lost.

Wow!
I thought #14 was a conservative pick.
#16 Really?!
Three three loss teams ranked higher!
But, wait, why is an SEC 3 loss team in Kentucky ranked lower?!
Confounding!

[Esqueleto]

If UL wants respect from pollsters they are going to have to play and beat Big 12 and SEC teams. It might be time for Dr. M to rethink his scheduling policy to get rid of the FCS game (that nobody give a ____ enough to attend, anyway) and tack on another road P5. You can't play the schedule like we had this year and expect to be ranked in the top 10 losing to a ____ Texas team.

[Turbine]

Which is why we should have done EVERYTHING possible to try to play that game against Wake Forest in the Gator Bowl.

Absolutely!

Nothing to lose by going public going loud.

[UL_Cajuns]

Nothing like a bunch of 10/4 teams getting ranked.

We could have possibly lost three additional games like those teams did.

Just like growing up in a small town, the local politician/lawyer kids could screw up 4 times to my one. They always get out of it.
They can screw up multiple times and still come out ok! Us middle class kids had to scratch and claw and make sure to not screw up or at least if you did don't get caught!
LOL!

[CajunEXPRESS]

They don't matter. Unless they do. The same goal post shifting shell game of pure bull ____e has been used in every way to ____ over UL in this poll. And people wonder why UL doesn't get more respect. What I don't understand is why UL continues to put up with this kind of crap. Does this administration have a voice? Or do they just enjoy getting the crap kicked out of them even when they achieve, or over achieve? This is the kind of thing that makes me continually seethe at this university's willingness to get sand kicked in their collective faces over & over again on any & every issue.

And now people can quit laughing at UCF for declaring themselves national champions. They recognized the sham that is the FBS national championship.

[Bandwagon King]

And what would you suggest? Sue the AP? The idea that these 50 or more sportswriters are part of some secret cabal to hold down the G5 schools makes no sense. Do I think there is some bias against G5 schools? Perhaps. Do I think it is some sort of organized effort..... Ugh NO!!!!!

LOOK at that poll & tell me what you see wrong with it. A school with the longest winning streak in the country, a school which is one of only three one loss teams in the country, & a school which won it's bowl game against whosoever they were matched up against couldn't move up the polls one single ____ing notch, while a school who won their bowl game against a team that wasn't even bowl eligible moved up the polls 5 ____ing spots is somehow in way ____ing way honest to you? or not biased? Look at it man! Tell me how you have all of the top teams with one loss, then two losses, then three losses, then even a four loss football team, then UL? Are you ____ing kidding me? That is beyond ____ing tragic. It's ____ing criminal. But if you're going to let someone break into your house & steal all your stuff & have their way with your family, then it's just going to continue to happen over & over again.

[Turbine]

If Louisiana publicly states the WANT to take on Wake Forest...

... and nothing comes of it.

There is NO WAY Wake Forest jumps Louisiana in the polls.

We didn't play and beat anybody worth a ____ in the eyes of the pollsters. Lucky to be 16. Beat a ____ty Texas team and we finish 6-8.
