Re: App #24 in AP Poll
I agree with holding the Big Ten out until they play. They announced they would not and still have a ways to go but the SEC plans to start this month. If not for the SEC and ACC pushing through, we would not have a fall season at all so I am not going to hold that against them.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 5:32 pmUntil the SEC plays one can argue a winless team should be not be ranked.

Re: App #24 in AP Poll
That is why I don't hold it against them because you could say either side. I get what he is saying because until a team plays you don't know for sure if they will but the SEC is 100% in and I would bet their teams would even play with 10-15 players out. Shoot, I could see some of their teams pulling a Georgia Southern and going with 20-30 out. lolAppinVA wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 6:36 pmBut they’re also undefeated.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 5:32 pmUntil the SEC plays one can argue a winless team should be not be ranked.

Re: App #24 in AP Poll
I would put more stock in polls honestly if they waited 5-6 weeks so everyone has played a few games every year. There are way too many crazy votes in them.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:17 pmSo is Boise State and that matter so is Western Carolina.AppinVA wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 6:36 pmBut they’re also undefeated.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 5:32 pmUntil the SEC plays one can argue a winless team should be not be ranked.
As for us, we won't be back in the top 25 and all they are good for is recruiting and marketing until the CFP comes out. We have looked so bad early on that we don't even deserve to receive votes. We also aren't the only team getting votes who does not deserve it so far, either.

Re: App #24 in AP Poll
Agreed. We have a lot more to worry about and we just aren't anywhere close to a top 25 talent team right now.

Re: App #24 in AP Poll
We aren’t playing anywhere close, at least. I know it’s semantics, but there is a difference.

If Marshall has great season (just puked typing this concept), and we win out, we could be 24 or 25 by end of season...there are no PAC 12 as of now taking spots which may help offset no power 5 opponent on our schedule

Re: App #24 in AP Poll
I'm talking about right now and in the short term. Things could change but we are a long way away and do not belong anywhere near the top 25. We are missing chip shots and have a TE who runs a 5.0 and fumbles, throwing intermediate balls in the dirt, and much more that is going wrong. We have the talent of a top 25 team but we are not playing anywhere near it right now.Tbatchelor1977 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:58 amI disagree I think on polling for us..AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:42 amI would put more stock in polls honestly if they waited 5-6 weeks so everyone has played a few games every year.

Fortunately they are also winless, which is more familiar territory.
