How are we 17 ?

[EndZoneQB]

You can tell we are still getting a lot of cred from our Kansas win...don't really know how we are still ranked ahead of WIU and UNI.

[HerdBot]

WIU could be higher but fair ranking

[northendzone]

Wow! We are still #17 in this poll and highest ranked in MVC. Again, Ranking really mean nothing, but if we can rattle off 3 or 4 in a row that would keep us highly ranked and position us to get a playoff bid.

[bisonmike2]

WIU should be higher than us

FTFY. How the hell does a team that beats us at home, has a better overall record, still get ranked lower than us?

[MNLonghorn10]

fcs coaches are idiots

Note: R U implying somethin there??!!

Otherwise, my give-a-shit-factor (GASF) on these polls is zero at this point in time--just sayin.

Not exactly because isn't this poll used for playoff selection.

[tjbison]

I know why we are ranked, because pretty much any team from th10 spot and below are a crap shoot right now, pounding USD last week kept us up as they were ranked at that time, and WIU is ranked also but I agree we should be in the 20's at the most

Most FCS coaches probably missed KU's 55-7 loss to Baylor last week.

God that had to be ugly.

We have an FBS win and an ranked FCS win (over a progam that beat a BCS school) a ranked FCS loss and a loss to a team that is ranked 2 days after the game. They have beaten 2 nobodys and a bad SHSU and lost there FBS game.

Seems very reasonable to me. I think most people on bisonville are giving everyone below the top 15 way more credit than they deserve. Maybe we dont deserve 17th but I bet hardly anyone else does either.

If the NFL had a top 25 esque poll would the bears be ranked ahead of greenbay?
