According to Mike Hlas of the Gazetter in Iowa.

GA has us at a mnore reasonable #21

That is crazy

[Orlando Bull]

I'd say that pretty much guarantees that we'll be ranked in the AP this week. That's a big point boost...

[Rizman]

Please, no ranking, not until we knock off Pitt

I like this guy.

Hahaha!  Wow.  "Hate mail" indeed!

I'll take it!

[Oldsmobull]

5 looks about right!  The Fargo, N.D. newspaper sports editor probably has USF in top 3.

5. South Florida. Here’s where the hate mail starts pouring in. Too bad. Who besides LSU or Boise State left home and got a better win than USF did with its 23-20 conquering of Notre Dame?

6. Baylor. You know, I know, and Baylor knows it isn’t the sixth-best team in America. But it beat the TCU team that was No. 2 in the final rankings last season in a classic, 50-48. Quarterback Robert Griffin III was sensational.

#6 kind of explains his methodology

Please, no ranking, not until we knock off Pitt

no i think we need to get ranked prior to that so we have a chance to move up a little bit during these easier games before we hit conf play.

i think Skip will do a much better job managing the locker room amidst the poll/ranking discussions.

one of my fav quotes from Skip over the weekend was "It's one thing to win.  it's a completely different thing to be able to handle winning"

Id like to see us between 25 and 30.  Our next game is sort of meaningful as Ball State over Indiana was mentioned a bit in the media  Would be a good win to get us in top 25. 

Then from there, win the next two and maybe end up around 20 before the BE stretch goes on.

Of our first 5 BE games, 4 are on the road.  Kind of got screwed with the schedule this year IMHO.
