So the only ranking we won't be top 25 in is the only one not reliant on data and equations

The fact that everyone in our conference is having a down year isn't helping us and Cincy. That and not winning against the likes of Michigan, USC, etc is starting to hurt now.

Just keep winning and the opportunity to get into the top 25 will present itself. Teams around us have a lot of difficult games left, it's just a matter of time now.

Boise St loss is the one that will come back to haunt us if we trip up at all here towards the end of the regular season. Beat Temple!

Boise is 59 in the RPI it is not a devastating loss.

Agreed. Michigan will probably end up looking like a worse loss. Plus it was neutral site not a true road game.

Oregon live and mercury news both don't have us in the top 25. Geez. These pollsters need to stop just picking names that the remember and actually look at statistical evidence. Every model has us in the top 25, and excluding us would just make them look [deleted]. I wonder if we beat Cincy they would just drop them out completely and we would move up to like 23.

Hilarious that ND is still ranked in that poll. If the coaches watched our game film since Boise I don't think a single one of them would think there are more than 20 teams better then us.

I agree. Notre Dame is totally unrankable now.

I suspect that there are only seven head coaches watching our game film...

Memphis, UConn, Tulsa, Temple, Tulane, Houston, Cincy
