If somehow we don’t lose the rest of the way, which we shouldn’t with our passing game, I think we’ll get votes. That would be a 12 game winning streak. And if we get votes that’ll be 3 straight seasons receiving top 25 votes at some point. I actually thought we were going to make it pre season last year we did make SI. But I just thought we would get into the major polls but we were like 30th pre OklahomaPosted On: Oct 6th 2019, 4:42 PM #389436
That would equate to a much better season than ‘17 when we were consistently getting votes for top 25 at the end and finished the season just outside the rankings. However, the key is winning like we did then. An ugly win here or there is fine but the majority of the games need to be more like the CHA game and less like Ball State. The only two I think can be close is the road contest at WKU and last game of the year when we welcome So. Miss to town. No reason we can’t win every other game by 20+

I think 8 or more wins are very possible with what we have left against C-USA this season, and bowl games 2 out of Lane’s first 3 seasons will be great for the program.

Agree with Roscoe - coming off the 2017 season we got ahead of ourselves with talk of rankings and conference moves. Let’s just beat MTSU first, then win more than we lose, then go to some bowls several years in a row. Then good things will happen.

If we win out, which I think we have the talent to do it, I don’t know that we get into the top 25. I know we had 3 losses in 2017, but voters are going to remember we got creamed by UCF at home. Two years ago there weren’t any embarraijg losses. If we win out and beat a p5 then it’ll be close but we should make it. Yes there was Navy but it wasn’t getting creamed badPosted On: Oct 7th 2019, 10:53 AM #389445
There may not have been embarrassing losses by such a wide margin, but we lost to Navy by 23 and lost to a mediocre Buffalo team.
IF we go undefeated this year, that would mean losses to two pretty good teams, a bowl win, long streak, conference championship, and Lane Kiffin.
Solid chance at being ranked.
Not saying that will happen, but this year's team would have accomplished more than 2017's team.
