Herd Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I know this isn't exactly going way out on a limb, but I think we'll be ranked higher at the end of the season than we are in the preseason poll. I would agree. You might have a good chance at being 9-1, or running the table with a huge effort against S. Ill. and Davis. It doesn't look like Idaho St. and SE LA are projected too high in their conferences, but you never know when you go on the road. A 9-1/8-2 record will get a top 25 ranking. It would be fun to see you play Poly this year, that would be a good game, but the Davis game should also be a good battle. Yes, realistically you might be ranked, and a loss to S Ill on the road wouldn't hurt too much if you play them tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Walrus Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 .A 9-1/8-2 record will get a top 25 ranking. Last year 5 loses, got some Teams in the Top 25..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herd Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Last year 5 loses, got some Teams in the Top 25..... As a newbie and with your stregth of schedule, you will not be given any auto-love in the polls based on wins and losses. Every poll vote will be earned by how you perform against S ILL and Davis. Too bad you don't have a game against Poly, that would have helped the cause with a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
