The whole BIG14 was again very over rated this year.

Outside the SEC, which "power" 5 conference isn't?

#28 in coaches poll.

Pac-12. They were expected to be shit and delivered.

Hey, on the bright side, being on the doorstep makes it a lot easier to get in. Just gotta beat ETSU Charlotte and Carolina I think would do it. Beating USC would def. do it.

That's assuming we don't take a large drop in next season's preseason rankings. I agree though. Win, win, win, and we're in.

Fundamentally, we need to start consistently beat P5 programs. That's what Bosie State did. To me that's what we lack. I don't think it's fair to feel disrespected until that happens. When I look back on the past three years, that's my only disappointment.

Especially considering how close we were to beating them and should have done so.
Especially TN, and WF.
Penn St could have easily won, but we didn’t make many mistakes to lose like in the other 2

That's exactly what I have been saying. We have folks who complain and are delusional about us being top 20 but we have not proven that we are yet. We are not a top 25 program until we beat P5s and I don't know...maybe win a games when we become ranked from now on.

'95 App went 11-0 and was #2 all year behind McNeese in the IAA Poll. Drove me crazy.

Can't believe I'm disappointed in #26 in the AP just a generation later. We have come a long way.
So proud to be a Mountaineer.
