However, looking at the schedule I think the earliest we could possibly see a top 25 ranking is the first week of November. Winning out, including FSU will not do it.Just my opinion.

Whether we are ranked following the FSU game will hinge on how well they are playing. If they are undefeated and ranked in the top 15, then I like our chances. Through attrition alone there will be a lot of teams with losses on their resume. If we go into Doak and beat the a top 15 Noles team I think it will have enough of a ripple effect that it would propel us into a #20 to #25 ranking. A lot of it will depend on the performance of the teams ranked ahead of us. But realize that not many schools would have that high of a quality win, especially on the road.

Winning a conference championship is the next logical step for us. As for top 25 ranking, I would prefer that in January. We have done the first half of the season top 25, let's see if we can do the end of the season top 25.Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember scratching my head at the time. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just going to buy me a beer at the preseason tailgate at Capogna's? You said earlier we would beat Miami and FSU. I said one or the other. I believe a cold beer is at stake.

His second scenario had us ranked #5 but not BE champions. That means were weren't undefeated and there's no way we get to #5 with 2 losses ... therefore, we had 1 loss and it had to be in conference since we didn't win the BEC .... in his scenario, mind you.
