When was the last time we got a vote in either Top 25 poll???
A nice feather in the cap to end the season. I wonder which coach voted for us?

Good things happen when one wins. Wonder if we will get any votes in the preseason polls?

He doesn't have a vote. Going through the list, I assume it is one of these:
David Bailiff, Rice
Neil Callaway, UAB
Todd Dodge, North Texas
Larry Fedora, Southern Miss
Ken Niumatalolo, Navy
Gary Patterson, TCU
Mike Sherman, Texas A&M
Kevin Sumlin, Houston
Bob Toledo, Tulane
Tommy West, Memphis
Paul Wulff, Washington State

I would guess Patterson. It puts SMU on the other coaches' mind and maybe gets us some preseason votes. That makes our game with TCU worth more to TCU (having a stronger national recognized opponent).

If I had to guess, I would agree with you on Patterson.
To be clear, there are other voters, but I assume the vote came from someone in our conference or someone we played. I left A&M on there because I can imagine Rossley convincing the SID to give them the 25th vote.

Great recognition to be sure. Didn't we get into that category one year in the mid-1990s under Rossley when we started 2-0 or something like that?

Oklahoma should be in the top #25. No way OSU should be. Oklahoma shut out OSU and could have beat Central Michigan. What a joke.

My guess is one of the WAC coaches.
Final Sagarin rating #65 vs. #149 last year. That is an improvement of 84!
