We should be, but if Memphis isn't ranked at 9-1, then we won't at 9-2. Same with USF. We need some of the 20-25 to lose.
EDIT: Memphis is ranked. My mistake. We still need some of the 20-25 to lose.

At the risk of being tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail, I gonna say if I was voting, I wouldn't rank us...YET. If we beat stAte and then Win our bowl fame, absolutely top 25. At this point, however, the SoBama loss taints our otherwise excellent performance. Win two more, we're in, but for now use what could have been as motivation to get there.

The USA loss hurt us badly. Im not even sure we will be ranked even if we win because of that loss.

Yeah, I might be tarred and feathered too, but a ranking is a distraction our team does not need. Last season, we had an physical and emotional game with the conference champs, got ranked, and had a five day short week before playing the other champs. I truly believe all three of those played a role. This time we had a perfect bye week, blasted a bewildered Texas State team, and get 8 days before we travel to ARKST, with no ranking, or press clippings (see: rat poison) to distract our team from it's mission. We have the added advantage of having been in this position before. Let's just take care of business and worry about rankings some other time.

Truth is that we need about 7 teams to lose a game and us win out to get ranked. My guess is between 26-30 we will end up if we win out. But hey, that is not bad considering we were 4-8 two years ago. Now JUST WIN BANY JUST WIN.

Our Strength of Schedule isn't very high. Most of the teams we beat have losing records.

The only rankings I'm worried about are Sun Belt and Bowl champions. Just two more bricks and the wall is rebuilt.

Our Strength of Schedule isn't very high. Most of the teams we beat have losing records. Also not playing App St Or ULL hurts. The loss to Boise and especially USA hurts us. Has we only loss to Boise or LSU we possibly might be ranked but still doubtful. Had we been 11-0 no question we would be ranked. If we win next week and the bowl game there is a very small chance we could be #25 at the end.

I'm neither Buddhist, nor superstitious. Talking about ranking TROY will not have any direct impact on whether or not we win football games. One could argue that if that talk is observed by the team, it could impact focus, and in turn, play. I'm old school. I'm OK with talk being a distraction. Life is full of distractions and part of being a mature individual is the ability to properly perform in spite of those distractions. The young men who lost focus last year should have learned from that, and that is, perhaps, more important than winning a game. Now as to ranking us, I just don't think it's time yet, for reasons I've already stated.

My point. They didn't handle it well last year or after LSU. Let's focus on ASU and let the rankings be what they are
