Enough votes that it wasn't just someone partial to us doing the voting.  That CCG score turned some heads since Louisiana was already getting votes.  The real shock is ULL got one vote after that performance.  You just know that was Desormeaux, the lol, COTY.

Has a 3 loss Herd team ever been ranked this high?

We are going into the Top 10 next year.  That?s the next level.

Sooo don't get killed by Georgia and win the conference and we're in the playoffs.  Got it.

If we can pull off a miracle in the bowl game we might get ranked.

I feel our strength of schedule, OOC-wise, for the next couple of years will hinder us for potentially being considered for the playoff. The individual big $$$ games are good (Georgia and Penn State). However, Eastern Michigan, Missouri State, Middle Tennessee State won't raise any eyebrows.

President Smith said the new HC is going to take us to the next level ..... so We Are giant killers and playoff bound.  I?m pumped!!

Nah, we only need a better than average game vs the one money team and win the rest.  The formula is set in stone and our conference is strong enough to provide it's own power if we win it.  Ohio St played 3 MAC teams, including us as one of them, and the Big Ten schedule.  No one would have dinged us if we'd played them well as our only loss.  Army has 1 loss to Notre Dame, deserve to be in playoffs but for Boise having 1 better loss against better team they would be.  If we have one loss to Georgia in a reasonable game that will satisfy their "did they play anyone?" criteria. 

The real question is do we have to accept the PAC as a G5 eligible for our slot?  Who says? and why?  Make the P4 donate one of their slots to them as an auto qualifier.  We gave them their 5-7 format instead of 6 and 6 at-large.  They should be the ones to give next.

I'm sure once Coach Gibson starts having success you and bust will jump on the bandwagon per usual. Just because you didn't get Eddie George lol you wanna put down coach Gibson. SMH. Figures. 🤷

I?m not mad I?m happy bc we will be going up to the next level now.  A national search for a head coach would be nice for a change ...... but ......  Just win baby. 

I don?t jump on/off bandwagons .... I?ll root for MU to always win.
