Ragin Cajun CFP chances

9 votes in todays AP Top 25 poll

We had “3” last week

Tulane has 41. I honestly don’t understand how a two loss team from a G5 gets that many votes.

Their last two seasons are helping them. Agreed it shouldn’t, but it is.

Anyone with eyes can see they're a good team. Who you lose to matters. They should most certainly be ranked ahead of UL

Not saying that aren’t a good football team. Their best wins are Louisiana and North Texas. You think if their jersey read NMSU they would have 41 votes? Absolutely not.

Tulane is not only 7-2, they are 7-2 against the spread and in most games beat the spread handedly . . . they are a good football team, as we are . . .

Big Buds, I'd chalk it up to there's media bias giving Tulane the benefit of the doubt due to success of prior two seasons opposed to our underachieving last year. You see it up and down the Top 25 poll. Saban was worth at least +3 ranking spots, maybe more. Boise for example has a multi decade track record of winning their conference, getting NY6 bids. Central FL went through it several years ago when Frost was coaching there. It was second year of running the table before the media gave them true ranking credit they deserved. CMD is building up his street cred with the national media and our fanbase. Win the SBC this season and the Cajuns will be ranked. If that's enough to make CFP this year depends on if Boise and Army falter and of course Cajuns need to win out. Like the cliche says, this team needs to take it one game at a time.

I appreciate this take…thank you!

But they still beat us.

No doubt. But 41 votes? And if WF can get to 6+ wins and we get to 12-1…we have a seriously good resume up against theirs.

Duckster gave a good basic explanation. also consider when comparing resumes, that task is up to the committee. the AP/coaches polls are for media hype and etc. tuesday we geet the 1st taste of whats important to the CFP

If, unlikely, but if, it comes down to Tulane as AAC champion and Louisiana, as SBC champion, for the playoff, it will be difficult to overcome the results of the head-to-head contest. Especially given the disparity in SOS for the two teams.
