Coaches Poll comes out today. Any chance we are ranked?

[Waterfall]

It's not where you start at it's where you end the season at.

Agreed.

actually it is where you start at.. if you start at rank 5 and go undefeated, you'll be in the playoffs.. if you start at rank 50 you might not even make it to a bcs bowl

In the old system, yes. With the new playoff rankings that isn't the case really anymore. Look at UNC last year. Top 10 team even with a terrible loss and ridiculously easy schedule. They beat Clemson and they'd be right there fighting for the final playoff spot.

not as bad as it once was, but just ask TCU how they feel about it

They didn't even win their conference outright so it's hard for me to feel too bad. Honestly, that first year for the playoffs will probably be one of the few years where we legitimately have 6 teams that all have a case for the 4 spots. Unfortunately they didn't get in, but I think the committee got it right.

We closer to Appalachin State than we are to FSU.

 

[capefearcane]

Looks like we are 26 in both polls, that's fine for now. Position to work from.

Zero chance. We will be ranked by the end of October however if we take care of business and go 3-1 for the month and be 7-1 overall. We go 2-2 in October and we are probably still ranked. 1-3 and we have little to no chance.

If so, what do you think we will be ranked? I doubt coaches rank us, we will "receive votes"

The Big 12 screwed TCU with the we want co-champions BS that year. That year the BIG 12 was better than the BIG 10 so it was easier for OSU to win the conference. Last thing, I know OSU won the title, but who's to say TCU couldn't have won the title. History might be totally different if they got a chance to play. Remember the Oklahoma FSU national title game we should have been in. I have no doubt we win that game...History would have been completely changed.
