Re: Not a good week to be ranked
These games happen. Just look at Oregon last night. Three turnovers and they only generate 15 points with their 1st Rd, possibly #1 overall QB. All of this contributed to a loss against a sub 500 team.

Re: Not a good week to be ranked
Given that so many ranked teams lost I didn't think we'd lose every single AP and coaches vote. I'm shocked.

Re: Not a good week to be ranked
They must have watched our game ... or at least tuned in after our first series not knowing our starting QB was out.
For teams at our level, we skate on thin ice, no room for a slip up.

Re: Not a good week to be ranked
Seeing the new AP Poll really stings. We would have at worst been ranked 19th this week. Possibly 16th if we’d really taken care of business. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that we could have ended the year in the top 10 had we won out. Bummer.

Re: Not a good week to be ranked
It was a bad loss to a team ranked well below us. We were 8 to 11 point favorites and regardless of circumstances we looked awful. If you look at our schedule we haven’t beaten anyone ranked above GS. Made me rethink our ranking, and I’m sure the voters had a hard time justifying it.
We have to forget about it and work hard to regain respect. Hopefully we can refocus, get well and be prepared for Coastals best shot.

Re: Not a good week to be ranked
They went from 0 votes to 62 votes in the AP. I realize they're not ranked but that looks like respect to me.
