I'm having crow for lunch, and will send Rutgers the bill. They lose and don't move, staying at 24. That keeps the Owls out, IMHO.

As the top vote getter (93), win two this week and we should be back. They will have to face Indiana and Illinois. Good luck with that.

The disrespect to FAU is crazy, but the best part about this team is their persistence. They have shown no signs of going away, and they will continue to do so until they return to the rankings 🔥

You are both correct, but CUSA does not get the respect some of the other conferences get based on strength of schedules.
You can be a 5 loss team in the ACC (Miami 18-5) or a 7 loss team in the Big 10 (Indiana and Rutgers 16-7) and still be ranked.
Just the way it is. We can still win our way back in!

Rutgers lost to unranked Iowa twice. By 11 points each time.

They should have at least fallen in the poll - like they did with the Coaches.

They are behind us in votes in the coaches poll as well.

AP = Ridiculous!

A lot of those teams play much better schedules.  Let's get real here.  They should be ranked over a few.  But there are 6-7 loss teams that we'd be huge underdogs against head to head
