Re: Top 25?
In the eyes of our enemies we’ve been “at our ceiling” since 2007. They still use that language today. “Another ‘we will never be’ crossed off” is perfect.
We have one of the youngest teams in the FBS. We’re approaching the realm of Boise and UCF long-term. Enjoy the ride!

Re: Top 25?
I agree with everything you said, it's just not where my mind is as a fan. Maybe it's because as a former athletes myself I nor my teammates really put much care into where we ranked. I know I'm far from that athlete status now, but it's just the way my mind as a fan works. I'm sure the teams goals align right with my expectations as a fan.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 8:24 amYou are correct win and things will take care of themselves.

Is you don’t want to participate, I understand, perhaps you think fan board comments will jinx us (they won’t).
The reality of being a win or two away is pretty neat, especially given the state of conversation just five years ago.

Agree.appstatealum wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 9:53 amI posted earlier this week that national writer Pete Fiutak was on the radio touting us as well. I've heard a few national guys talk about the "casual" fans and pollsters sometimes still associate us with FCS versus being a G5. This top 25 ranking would help change that i think.

Re: Top 25?
Please though, I beg all of you to not tweet at AP voters incessantly. Sure, respectfully tweet at them once to consider it but hounding them won't change their minds.

This is why I always laugh when someone on here says something like “we need to stop worrying about ‘big game in 3 weeks’ and focus on crappy team we play this weekend!!!”
No, we don’t. The team and coaches do, yes. But we are just a bunch of fans posting on a message board. We can dedicate all our focus to a game we play in 2040 if we want to. Or arbitrary polling numbers (though the implication of the number is anything but arbitrary).

Re: Top 25?
Bummer. Added a ton of votes, unfortunately so did a couple others. Obviously we need to beat ULL this weekend, but it’s fair to say that we need GSU to beat NMSU prior to our Thursday night game. Actually beating a good team might help.

Re: Top 25?
I disagree. I see some players and coaches tweeting #rankappstate. Fans do affect players and coaches. We will get the recognition if we keep our heads down and help the team focus on the game at hand. Getting in the top 25 for the first time is good for our name recognition but, it is a distraction to our goal of hosting and winning the conference championship. We are no different than coaches or players. Think about when we had our first P5 home game (Miami) game after we played well at UT Knoxville. We the fans, over hyped our team. Don’t let this moment (ranked in the top 25 for the first time) get too big for us.ah59396 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 11:15 amSaint3333 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 10:32 amSometimes we believe our thoughts on here have a larger impact on outcomes than reality./\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 10:03 amI agree with everything you said, it's just not where my mind is as a fan.

Re: Top 25?
Why be ranked: helps to get home-and-home games with P-5; can command more $$$ for one-off games; pisses off culloweed and uncharrisburg fans

Re: Top 25?
We actually picked up votes/points in both polls but relative to others we lost ground in one and gained in another. Our SOS is hurting us.

Re: Top 25?
We can’t do anything about our SOS, but this is exactly the reason we pull for SBC teams when they play out of league games (not directed at you, of course).

Re: Top 25?
This. The only thing that we can do is beat the team lined up in front of us in the manner that we should.
