That's still something we're going to have to work on for a long time. 10-0? Maybe we'd break Top 25. Beat Louisville after that and we sure will. But I don't think we'll sniff votes at 5-0 given our conference's popular perception and our strength of schedule coupled with our lack of history.

Beat RU and we get lots of votes, but it will probably take 6-0 to get into top 25. Of course I hope I am wrong. I hope RU is top 25 when they play us. Could happen, they are starting to get some respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't exactly appear invincible at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that most teams will begin conference play the rankings will become more accurate. If we continue to improve we should beat Kansas who just lost to Toledo and barely beat La-Monroe. Rutgers is very beatable, particularly at Ray Jay. Grothe and our D is getting noticed around the country. With that, we'll start getting the respect we deserve.
