I kind of disagree with this quote:
Of course, you need marquee wins - but if Troy wants to be a Boise St, BYU (or Utah/TCU some years ago), it needs to crack the Top12 and go to a NY6 bowl (and probably win the game) ... + we need to be constantly ranked in the Top25 almost every year. Having a player in the Heisman discussion also helps (Boise St, Marshall, N. Illinois, etc). I think this is crucial otherwise you cannot be an Elite G5 program.

Our game/the way we played against Boise is so frustrating now. Just think, if we played halfway decent on offense we probably could've won that game by a couple TDs. ...could have, should have, would have, blah blah blah

I rewatched the Boise game this week. We are not the same team. Unfortunately we got a slow start and got the L. If we were undefeated right now we would be ranked. Now this is going to hurt... keep in mind I love my Trojans but here is the stat that hurts us. Last season we were 4 and 2 against teams with winning records and this season so far we are 1 and 0. We are improving and if we keep it up we will get all due respect.

We need to win a few more games convincingly then I think we will be ranked.

Guys, in order for us to get ranked, we will need to keep winning, and winning, and then maybe we find ourselves in the Top 25 again. The marquee win over LSU has given us exposure that we've needed for a long time. We still have plenty of work ahead of us, no doubt that Arkansas State will be 'chompin' at the bit' to see us come play on their field in early December. All though the Belt seems to be down this year, we still have to take care of business each and every week in order to be recognized at seasons end.
I think we'd all agree that the Pride of the Trojans has come back in full force and it is my hope that at some point, maybe in the not too distant future, TROY will be one of those respected G5 schools that can find ourselves in the conversation each and every year.
Go TROY!

Just keep getting W's and the sports writer nerds will take care of themselves. Exactly! Numbers to the left of our name are nice, but I care more about the numbers on the scoreboard and the win/loss column.
