The poll says Dec 30; however, the link takes you to a poll from Dec 8. I think you meant you to post a link to that one.

Yep, that's the issue…The link Owlmart posted is to the CBS Sports 130, not the Coaches Poll…
The Coaches Poll is what we need to pay attention to…still to be updated.
Hanging on to slim Hope we will make it!

Even if the conference gets to .500 in bowl games it will still be perceived as the 8th or 9th best conference, and perception matters more than reality. I still think we have a chance, and if we played other teams at the bottom of the top-25 we would be just as good or better. But I am leaning more like Rick and expecting us to be right there but probably on the fringe.

- #19 Boise (will drop with their bad loss to unranked Washington - probably not all the way out)
- #22 USC
- #24 Virginia (close loss may get them some pollster love)
- #25 Oklahoma State (lost close to Texas A&M, who could easily just replace them)
That means if Boise stays in but drops to the very bottom, there are really only 2 available spots assuming Virginia falls out. And it will be a bunch of teams for those 2 places. If Boise were to drop all the way out our chances would be a lot greater. Here is a look at the 3 major polls. My opinion is we need to get into 1 of these 3 for it to really matter (although there will be dozens of others that we could get into):

We are "competing" against Texas A&M and UCF (resume already highlighted), Air Force (11-2 and already ranked in some of the other major polls), and not sure Boise falls all the way out because they were already #19 and they finished 12-2. It will be close, and we could sneak into 1 of the 3 - but will definitely be right up there at the top of "others receiving votes".
