Coaches Poll out: No votes for USF

[SoFlaEer]

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought we had 5 points in the coaches poll last week. Regardless, we had some. So how do we lose those after a 41-10 win? I'd love to know the reasoning there.

you're mistaken. 

South Florida dropped out of the poll last week (week 10), after the 3rd consecutive loss, had zero votes/points last week.  USF was at #18 with like 290 points when you were 6-2 (week 9).  after the skid, a win over the Cuse is not what's gonna jump you back into the top 25 in the coaches poll.  keep winning, and you'll be back in there.

well known fact now eh? geeze I love Messageboard scuttlebutt, anything you dream up can be a well known fact.

61.2% of all statistics are made up...

So what.... we all know that this poll is all sorts of crap.

We know where we belong!

Funny how people here defended the polls when we were #2, but now that reality has set in the polls are crap.

Thanks, BowlBoundBulls- I knew I was right. So, SoFlaEer, I ask again- how do we go from 5 votes to zero after winning 41-10? I'm not saying Syracuse is a wonderful opponent, but what coaches that were voting for us the week before decided that after a 41-10 win they would NOT vote for us? Seems crazy.

OOH,OOH...MR. Caaar-terrr

Could the answer be...the system doesn't work ???

[MikeG]

a win against UL will get us back in there. A big win might get our respect back

oops - i stand corrected - all i saw was the note at the bottom of the poll that said

Dropped From Rankings

Wisconsin 19, South Florida 21, South Carolina 25.

you got a legitimate gripe that something odd happened - of course to blame RRod or other BE coaches is presumptuous - it assumes they are responsible for you having had 5 points previously - we really dont know who those 5 points came from  >

I think that you will find that most people on this board have always had little respect for the coaches poll, even when we were ranked.
