My favorite ballot is the guy from Riverside, CA who placed us at 14th. He has UCF at 13th and Cincy at 16th. He also placed NCSU at 7th.

I like that guy

I think we can actually win the conference with this gritty crazy bunch of guys.  I don't mind Cincy jumping us, it will help our SOS when we beat them.

This but... but... but... is this how it actually happens?

point of pride.

as a realist though, we would get trounced by any squad on that list not in the AAC. the hilarity that we're two spots from a team like Penn State. incomparable on-field product between programs. 

This guy gets it lol... I have no qualms being an on paper statistics top 25 all day!

Crazy how different it is being ranked top 25 in this conference is because I look at teams above and below then go "nope wouldn't beat them, or them, etc.."

Man... this football season... up is down... side-ways is over there ↘️... This team has tested my faith and everything I thought I knew about this team and college football.  Maybe because I've never rooted for a team doing what the team does.  So... maybe it's like I mentioned... we're not the prettiest horse but we win.  When they play with a since of urgency, they play really good.  I think eventually, just the law of numbers say they'll come out focused for a complete game.  But until then, I'm not pretending to understand this mojo.  Refuse to lose.  I''m just a fan right now, this may be my favorite team.

We won’t know that for sure until we play someone better. If some of those teams in the top 25 can lose to bad teams, then we can also beat some of them. We may have played down to our competition but anything else is unproven. All I know is that we’re 6-0, and that’s not easy to do no matter who you play in college football. The biggest fact is that we haven’t found a way to lose yet, and everything else is a guess. Does this offense look inept at times? Yes. Does the defense look shaky against the run? Yes. Have we looked like we weren’t prepared for over half the season? Absolutely. But none of that has lost or won us a game we haven’t played.

This team will make believers out of them. The voters and the naysayers within our fan base. I'm firm in this belief. Something about this gritty bunch. I think Tulsa was a turning point and I think we saw that in the locker room afterwards. 

 

disclaimer: I could be wrong. Just an opinion.

Rankings are nice but winning the conference would be nicer.  

Love seeing we can stay calm and find a way to win, but hope we stop putting ourselves in those situations.

Correct. It amazes me that we've never won a conference championship!?!

Looks like we've play down or up to the level of competition. But somehow, some way, this team seems to pull through. Hope it stays true late into the season! GO BULLS
