They finally killed the Gamecocks!

[MSUBobcat]

Not much love for Sac State, who lost at home to their #17 but beat their #11 at one of the hardest stadiums to win, before thumping NAU.

[OhioHen]

Still hanging in there with a little life - in the list of ORV, along with Delaware.

They are still twitching on the altar with the rest of the ORVs.

They got one good win. It was real good, but the others? A couple ok. But AGS has them too high. They got an easy remaining schedule except last game. We'll see.

Yeah, they'll move up over the next 3 weeks I'm sure but is UT-Martin's 6-1 with no real quality wins 11 spots better than Sac? What about #17 EKU's 5-2 resume with a loss to ISU-b, 3 one score victories over average-at-best competition and no quality wins? How about VMI with a 50 point drubbing by Kent State, a 2-score loss to your 2-5 Bulldogs and.... I guess the Mercer blowout being their best win? I'm not saying they're top 15, but they should be more than 3-4 voters not putting them in their poll at #22 or 23 from not even being RANKED. It's not just that they're T-23; it's that they only got 66 points, over 100 less points than EKU and about 1/6th of UT-M. Not a big deal, and not even my team. I just thought that was a bit of a swing-and-a-miss. But.... it IS the Coaches' Poll, so a dump truck of salt is in order.

All good points. My 12-25 is a mess. I think I got Sac around 21 right now. Their N Iowa loss, at home, and their difficult opener are on their debit side.

Since you mentioned it, I have to point out that VMIs loss to us was in a serious hard fought rivalry. Still not good they lost, but we played the only complete game of our season that day. Not to mention that their normal starting QB was gimpy and didn't start. Eh. It will continue to get clearer the next few weeks.

So you’re saying these chickens refused to go home to roost.

[OhioHen]

The fowl are sufficiently foul to not deserve any mention in the polls. The voters fail to recognize this.

[Katfan]

They are still getting votes so a win this week and they’ll be back

Like Jason, the Gamecocks won’t stay dead.

[CockyGeek]

Gamecocks: A New Blood. Freddy vs Gamecocks. We need a reboot.

Like a chicken with their head cut off.xlolx

It is Halloween week.

IMHO a team should not be ranked with a losing record. Don’t care who they just beat. At least wait until they have an above .500 record.

[caribbeanhen]

Rhode Island.... not a good team

[OhioHen]

Unfortunately, it is clear from watching the action that some of the 3-4 teams out there are better than some of the teams at 5-2 (and I'm not even talking about comparing a 3-4 MVFC to a 5-2 Pioneer).

Why? Is beating 1-6 Idaho State going to reveal to you that, yes... Weber State IS a top 25 team?

[clenz]

And that is why ranking based on record and ignoring SOS is super ****ing dumb.

It's why Monmouth was getting top 10 votes the year they got butt ****ed by UNI. They were 9-2 and UNI was only 7-4. Monmouth was clearly the better team in the eyes of 98% of the AGS community. Nevermind the SoS differences. It showed when they played and UNI had the ability to decide what they wanted the score to be.

UNI will finish 8-3 or 7-4 this year in all likelihood. AGS will go "typical bad UNI team" and they'll end up playing Thanksgiving weekend and beating up on some underfunded team that did well in an under funded conference.

UNI is 4-3 right now and 2-2 in the Valley

UNI in the OVC, Big South, SoCon, SLC, MEAC, SWAC, NEC, etc. is (keeping the OOC the same) 6-1. A team from the Big South, NEC, etc. isn't 4-3 playing UNI's schedule. I promise you that.

Well, to be fair Weber is 3-3 against FCS competition.
