When I made the original comment it really didn't bother me that we were left out, but now am wondering why we were? We obviously were one of the top 24 to make the playoffs, so we should have been ranked in the top 24 really. The only thing that it would maybe help us to still be ranked would be getting some love in the preseason poll next August. Seems the voters always look at the previous season. Looks like we have to work at it next year and get some respect.
