This is from my Twitter account, but I think we should get #SunbeltBias trending. The AP will give votes to North Dakota State, but not to an actual FBS team with one loss to the #2 team. Check out @benonsports's Tweet:

That is in the Coaches. I just checked again and it did say we had 1 in the AP. I saw that we got ten votes.

Both polls have me feeling like Rodney Dangerfield.

Both polls have me feeling like Rodney Dangerfield. Can't get no respect? Respect comes with consistency, continuity, quality, and character for the win. We are getting there, we are rebuilding the wall. Takes time. "T" Time!

Troy just needs to keep winning. If that happens then I assure you we will get noticed and ranked.

A convincing win against South should get us close to 25.

the reason is not disrespect, it has to do with history and opponents. right now USM is falling apart and that was our only "good" win according to opponent strength.

exactly, plus a win over south would not mean a lot in polls, even though they beat an SEC and ranked foe, due to them losing to conference foes of lowly caliber

If we win out and win our bowl game we should be in the top 25 in the final poll. Could happen after ARK State if APP and ARK keep winning.

I understand us not being ranked yet. We played Clemson tough yes and beat a good USM team by 7 but our other wins were against a horrible FCS team, the two bottom dwelling Sun Belt teams and a 1-4 GA State team. If we beat South and App St there is a good chance we get ranked. I also understand NDSU getting votes. They have won five straight FCS titles and beaten five straight FBS opponents, two of which were ranked and they destroyed a good JAx St team in the title game. Give the Bison credit, they have earned it
