    Haven't seen this mentioned, but we did get some votes. A waxing of FSU and ya never know.. we might break the Top 25. Would be great to finish out the season ranked.

    Pretty ridiculous. Don't think many of the 32 ahead of us would be too interested in playing us right now.

    That is correct.
    Others receiving votes: Kansas State 98, Memphis 46, Syracuse 37, Louisville 24, Washington State 10, Duke 6, Louisiana 5, Florida 4, LSU 2, Georgia Tech 2

    Speaking of which....love to see us play Ga Tech in a bowl to settle some score.

    Yeah i said it before, because of who our losses came against, all being ranked top 15-ish and at some point CFP bound it's truly hard to get a read on just where we really fit in the standings. Our 5 losses put us back but the teams that gave us 5 losses have a combined 9 losses total. So we're not top 10 (but have beaten a top10) were not ranked but feel we could easily match up well with anybody 15-25.

    O, I was straight pissed we weren’t ranked. Illinois lost first to #9 Penn State by several TDs early on like game 3 or so after beating a only “quality” win over #23 Kansas State by 4 points (that’s their season), everyone else was garbage and beat only non-pretenders even. They got creamed by #1 Oregon. Lost to unranked Minnesota. Beat #24 Michigan. Beat 19 Nebraska. And you know where some of these ranked teams are now. We beat ranked KY, Ranked LSU, Ranked Ole Miss (ranked 11, and 9)

    I picked a random top 20 team but even Army (no disrespect to our vets) who got blown out by the one ranked team they played and we could almost definitely have beat at any point every team they beat and ND who they lost to. We are playing objectively better. Just one or two of those top 12 teams we played. At one point we were about to play 6 teams in the top 10! It was insane and we were still trying to find ourselves. The idea of Army staying within 3 TDs of us is laughable and we have 4 votes. I’m very happy that the cfp group for future uses a more basketball approach with quality wins and bad losses and all.

    Sorry for messy post but I was sure we would be the team with the most losses and ranked 22-25, not 4 votes. Not to mention we could and should have beat UT. And without injury even Georgia. We are not even nearly as bad as our ranking and nobody can convince me otherwise. Not in the second half of season.

    GO GATORS!

    I shouldn’t have done my last post. This is much more concise and eloquent. Well said.

    I said before the season that we could go 7-5, be a decent team, and not even be ranked. Here we are but i didnt see fsu being a speedbump.
