Our ranking is just about right. Win the next two and we will be right where we need to be. Our goal needs to be a BE title! We are not National Title material yet so let's be realistic and shoot for the BCS which we have never come close to making. You want ridiculous? Oregon's only loss is to Boise and they destroy Cal and the Coaches ranked Cal ahead of Oregon???? Logic anyone?

By the way, I called this yesterday when everyone was saying we would definitely be ranked 

I don't think they deserve to be ranked yet, so I do not disagree.  One quality win.  A very significant win for the Florida football scene, but I don't think they deserve to crack the top 25 until they can beat Syracuse.

It will be set up for a big Cinci game a la the WVU game a couple years ago.

If there weren't other upsets yesterday, we would be ranked... but quite a few unranked teams beat a few ranked teams this week, taking attention away from us.

AND I AM VERY MUCH OKAY WITH THAT.

this may indicate that FSU was overrated to begin with, but I thought we'd at least make one of the polls.

I fully expected to be ranked 23rd, 24th, or 25th. But, it doesn't bother me if we are not ranked. It gives the team one more reason to go out and get a win next week or the week after that. Like someone said above, we want to be ranked at the end of the year.

Harris has USF #28.

And wow, other then us and Cincinnati there isn't another Big East team on the radar.

We are lucky to be top 30 IMHO.

We have proved the polls wrong in the past so voters are skepticle.

We have only played one real team so far, and clearly they were overrated.  

Yes we are 4 - 0, but 3 were not important wins in the eyes of pollsters.

If we want to get higher rankings, we need to show we can win our conference games (home and away).  

We need to earn a top 25 ranking.  We have done nothing yet to gain that respect.  But I think we will...

We're the only undefeated Big East teams...

I'd rather have the team fighting to be respected because they're outside the top 15 at 6-0 then have them getting cocky and arrogant because we all of a sudden find ourselves at #2 at 6-0 and then end up falling on our faces again
