I've been waiting for FAU to crack the receiving votes section of the polls for a couple of weeks now. Amazing to finally see it happen.

The AP Poll comes out in an hour or so.

If we could win out then they'd have to rank us with an 11-3 record, you'd think…

Wow - how cool. The DOMINATION of CUSA has to make a difference! Go Owls!

Here it is guys;

No dice in the AP Poll. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, we can make the RV section.

No chance unless you destroy your next opponent and win bowl. AP no chance. I think you should be more worried about Kiffin leaving. Many firings happening where they can easily pay x3 more than what FAU is paying.

Is this you?

We won't get there this week imo but we should be really close in the coaches poll.  We should move ahead of TAMU, WF, ISU, Michigan, and SC in the coaches poll.  

Agreed, we have wins over six (6) bowl eligible teams and a relatively close loss on the road to a top 5 team, all three losses to bowl eligible teams! Not bad Owls!!!!!

And how bout CUSA! Some have said it was a a down year for the conference. NOPE! TEN (10) Bowl eligible teams - MOST OF ANY CONFERENCE! I pointed this out about a month ago and the teams did it! 10 of the 39 bowl games will have a CUSA team in them, amazing in that day and age of the Power 5 monopoly!

10 are eligible. Not included yet. But a great showing.
