Thread: 2022 AP Top 25 College Football Poll

  1. #1

    Default 2022 AP Top 25 College Football Poll

    https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/se...p-25-released/

    How does Louisiana post a 22-2 record over the last two year, while only losing to Costal and Texas, but can't get one vote in the AP Poll? 🤔

    Make this make sense to me?

    Zero offseason publicity, media silence from within the university.

    A Hud like media barrage in the offseason, and Louisiana is easily in the top-25.

    Lost the head coach and QB who delivered that record, with our only Top 25 end of season rankings ever and our only P5 win on the road.

    Lost two of our three-stud RB trio. Lost our several starting O-Lineman. Lost a key DB and a key LB.

    An 8-4 regular season record (which I think alot of people on the outside are expecting) probably isn't going to command any Top 25 votes.

    All good. I'd rather opponents think we won't be as good as well.

    That's the legit reason.

    None of the people voting for these coaches (or the coaches themselves) are looking that closely though.

    Out of sight out of mind is the actual reason for the poll results.

    They accidentally got it right.

    We have tripped but we have not fallen down.

    Don't want to nit pick but our only 2 losses in the last 2 years have been to Coastal Carolina and Texas. We have actually beaten App State the last 3 times we have played in the last 2 years.

    It's better to be ranked in the Top 25 at the end of the season than in the preseason. Let's see what happens.

    All of the responses are fine, but that should be even more reason to have media sunshine pumpers.

    The goal is to be the highest ranked G5 program at the end of the year. Why start from behind if you don't have to. Not receiving votes creates a higher mountain to climb.

    Hypothetical situation:

    UL goes undefeated, we are so far back in the preseason rankings, we can't catch up to other G5 schools with a potential "good P5 loss".

    The goal should be a New Years Six Bowl game.

    After the last four years success, it is time we have expectations to compete as a Top 25 team with NY6 expectations, just like Cincinnati and UCF.

    Geaux is right.

    Start ranked, stay noticed, climb.
