Top 25?

[Fold FB Invest in BB]

We're in sporting the #8 scoring offense in the country.

[BullsFanInTX]

No.

Lots of votes in Coaches poll, around #28 or so.  A few votes in AP, around 32-33.  I hope I am wrong, but I just don't see it yet.

Do people really think AP voters look at who members of the top 25 are playing and are more likely to vote for them too? What on earth is their incentive? Ridiculous theory here guys. We're not going to be ranked in AP. Might sneak in on coaches poll but that's doubtful too.

Sorry, the Number 25 spot was being used by Miami. They earned it after beating FAMU and FAU.

We may sneak in at 25 in the coaches poll, but no chance in the AP. At least we'll finally be getting votes there though.

Iowa, Ole Miss, Oregon lost and will drop out.

Wisconsin and Tennessee struggled. They will drop a little.

Some of the "Also receiving votes" lost or struggled as well ..

USF will get points... I doubt the Bulls break the Top 25.  Maybe as high as 32.

We are already above 32, this win definitely moves us up, however I don't think into the Top25, maybe but longshot. We need to beat FSU, and Ville showed we can. If we get them to lay down they will probably fall right out of the rankings and we will be in the teens. That only comes after a convincing win vs FSU though. Monday we should get votes and be right on the outside. We just haven't done anything but win the games we should. FSU got schooled by a very nasty ville that was also #10. Next week should be fun!

Those who think FSU will drop from #2 to out of the Top 25 don't know **** about college football.  They will be in the teens at the very worst.  I'm guessing #12...USF will still be on the outside looking in.

Which is insane. You get beat worse than the teams who aren't ranked and you were #2... But because of your name they assume it was just a bad game and say do better next time.

Top 25 teams that might lost (my own, pull them out of my ass projections). The other 21 ranked teams won:

#2 FSU -- The loss was fairly thorough, and the weaknesses in the team were exposed.   However, there will be some benefit of the doubt here. Projected:  #18

#13 Iowa -- The Hawkeyes lost to a good team on a last second field goal, but in the FCS.  Heck, ND State might be better than Iowa State overall. Projected: #20

#18 Notre Dame -- The game ended up being closer, but the Irish were favored by a TD.  Projected: NR (Also receiving votes)

#22 Oregon -- Losing on the road at a decent #33 Nebraska team because you fail on 4 two-point tries and lose by 3. Projected: NR  (Also receiving votes)

-------------------

Results from those in the "Also receiving votes" section:

#26 Utah -- Took care of business on the road against San Jose State.

#27 TCU -- Roughed up Iowa State at home.

#28 UCLA -- Easily handled BYU in Provo.

#29 San Diego State -- Beat Northern Illinois in Dekalb.

#30 Boise State -- IDLE

#31 Pittsburgh -- Lost after a long delay to #32 Oklahoma State

#32 Oklahoma State -- Survived a four-hour weather delay at home to beat #31 Pittsburgh.

#33 Nebraska -- Beat a #22 ranked Oregon at home.

#34 North Carolina -- Pulled away from FCS James Madison at home.

#35 Auburn -- Lost to #17 Texas A&M at home

#36 Central Michigan -- Easily handled UNLV at home.

#37 Colorado -- Lost to #4 Michigan at the Big House.

#38 Cincinnati -- Lost to #6 Houston on Thursday night

---------------------

If USF was behind these 38 teams going into the weekend, there weren't many teams who lost that would allow USF to move on to ballots.

I don't see USF leapfrogging any of the four ranked teams who lost, or the four on the outside who all won this week... USF might get as high as Boise State, but that would mean voters dropping other teams who won -- something more do not do.

Traveling now folks, will post my ballot later. But for those wondering: I have #USF at 24 (and Louisville No. 1)
