I don't know exactly what evidence would satisfy you. Look, we are in the G5. Our ceiling for recruits is limited just by our conference affiliation. You can count  "on one hand" all th

Everyone cares about rankings on some level.  Heck, we have multiple threads a week complaining about it.  I agree with Mama, I think recruits care.  It is nice to see our name across the ESPN ticker.

The flip side of that is we are only 15 points ahead of #19.

Even with a win @Tulane we might go backwards in the AP Poll.

Since this is the AP poll, which is not used in the BCS standings or bowl seeding, who cares?  The AP poll is useless.  The coaches poll has USF at #13.

I know you know this @Apis Bull, more for others...

"BCS Calculation. The teams were ranked each week in the Bowl Championship Series Standings by their BCS Average, which gave equal weight to the BCS Standings three components; the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Harris Interactive College Football Poll and an average of six computer rankings."

Which was important in 2013!!

Apparently, RECRUITS still do.

We were NOT ranked in the final CFP poll last year.

However, we were ranked #19 in both the final AP and Coaches Polls.

As a result, we were ranked by them in their first poll this year.

So, while those polls, presumably, have no bearing on what the CFP committee does in their poll, IMO, they are something that many recruits notice and take seriously, when considering going to a school.

I would say that most people care about them.  Even the ones that say they don't.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
