...and it must have pained [deleted] Vitale to make SMU #20 this week. I guess whipping up on his Big 10 got through to him. 8)

I wonder what the deal is with Feinstein. Might be he is one who is against including us but he let his intern fill it out last week. That is crazy.

Why is is vitale's big 10? I would have thought you would say that about the ACC with him. He was one of 8 who did not rank us last week. I know he said negative things about LB but there is no proof he has an issue voting for us in the poll.

He has Army (8-2) ranked #25. Their best win according to RPI is Gardner Webb (#177).

I don't know of any Vitale Big 10 bias. I was just trying to figure out the rationalization as to why he is finally voting for us. Win over Michigan is the only thing that happened last week. And as you pointed out, last week he was still one of 8 who didn't rank us.

Yeah. Not a bad top 16.

It's hard to argue we are that much better than the teams in front of us and we are definitely better than Arizona and Kentucky.
