Eight ranked teams lose to unranked teams this week. WOW!

Just kind of makes you more frustrated with Thursday night, what a blown opportunity.

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.

Given that so many ranked teams lost I didn't think we'd lose every single AP and coaches vote. I'm shocked.

The margin of error is very slim for the G5 teams.

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.

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.

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.

The silver lining is they give GS no respect for beating us.

They went from 0 votes to 62 votes in the AP. I realize they're not ranked but that looks like respect to me.
