I think what's hurting us is that many of our wins have been too close. If you look after the Arkansas game we received a good many votes, but people do look at the scores and see 28-20? Damn USC struggled with a down Florida team. They don't get to watch our games, they just look at the score then next day.

 

[hahnenkampf]

Have you taken the time to evaluate the record of the teams we've beaten? The SEC teams are at the bottom of just about every list.

More motivation! Fuch the AP voters!!

 

[wood90]

who cares? I'm glad we're not ranked. No need to draw any attention.

Finish the season strong and start 2018 in the preseason top 25 and hopefully keep building.

 

[jeff2001]

I dont get it either

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

More motivation! Fuch the AP voters!!

I agree. At this point I hope our team uses not being recognized by the AP voters as motivation to finish out the season in winning fashion.

 

[robertfootball]

Beat Clemson and we will be top 15 overnight.

 

[gocarolina825]

Beat Clemson and we will be top 15 overnight.

We probably would be ranked 23rd or 24th they would say it was a fluke and we beat them at home and Clemson will still be in the Playoff

 

[DC-99]

I dont get it either

+1. I understand the sec has some down teams, but if ncst is a top 25 team, usc is too. If uga is 7th, usc is a top 25 team. If LSU is 21st, usc is a top 25 team (I would put the uk loss right there with lsu's loss to Troy). GT? Gtfo. Army? Lol.

Agree with op, complete disrespect. Wait until we run through our non con in bball. They will do the same thing. No respect.

 

[MookieBlaylock9]

Carolina has no legitimate argument to be in the Top 25. Not really worked up about it. It won't affect what bowl we go to and hopefully, will make Clemson take us less seriously.

 

[king ward]

If we win next weekend, we stand a chance of being ranked for a week.

 

[king ward]

Beat Clemson and we will be top 15 overnight.

If we haven't lost to Wofford first.

 

[king ward]

7-3 (5-3 in SEC) 2nd in East and Won 4 out of last 5

The only time we ever won the East, it was on the strength of a 5-3 record. That was when the East was beginning to really suck.

 

[joplin gamecock1]

Closest thing to a quality win is against N.C.State. Tennessee has now lost its most refent game against ebery team in the conference and beating Florida and Missou was mo help.

 

[sgacock]

Beat Wofford!

 

[sgacock]

If we win next weekend, we stand a chance of being ranked for a week.

Beating an FCS school doesn't get you into the rankings.

 

[king ward]

Beating an FCS school doesn't get you into the rankings.

I guess we have no chance at all, then.

 

[FCB 2013 treble]

I think Northwestern deserves to be in the top 25 with wins against Michigan State and Iowa. They also beat Nebraska on the road. They two defeats they have in conference is against Wisconsin and Penn State which are very good teams.

 

[RockThrillCock]

IF we beat UK and TaMU we would be. Barely beat La Tech and history shows us we will play Wofford or whoever close. I’m just happy we are where we are now. We could be neck and neck with Vandy.

 

[king ward]

I think Northwestern deserves to be in the top 25 with wins against Michigan State and Iowa. They also beat Nebraska on the road. They two defeats they have in conference is against Wisconsin and Penn State which are very good teams.

No argument with them being ranked.

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

Just win and don’t worry about it...

 

[cocky4]

fake news

Gonna be even sweeter if we beat clemron & vault into the rankings before our Bowl Game

 

[Chopper007]

We are going to have to earn respect either by blowing out teams we are supposed to beat and/or beating someone we shouldn't ...

 

[anon_n4c0cp5zhdxn7]

 

[coolcock2001]

It'd be very interesting to see what our rank would be if we had beaten UK and ATM, or even just UK. The record looks good but the competition doesn't jump out at you at all. I guess this is what it's like for non Power 5 teams, or back in the ACC days. Weird times in the SEC

 

[TheReelEss]

We've been helped considerably by some awful teams in the East and these were close wins. Most years we would be looking at no bowl with this level of talent. But hey, you can't help your schedule.

 

[Cocky_11]

Win is a win, why don't the AP voters look at the injuries we had , they sure as hell took Clemmons under their wing when they lost to Syracuse. We been dealing with this crap since Kentucky game. And Clemmons had trouble with a bad FSU team but hey let's pat their ass some more. Screw em

We would likely be pretty close to undefeated against all those teams - most trouble would be LSU and WVU.

 

[haneynfl]

So what, now what!

 

[lowcountry_cock13]

evaluate? research?....whats that...if its posted on this site, it has to be true

SEC opponents records are 5-22.

 

[cockyboyjae]

SEC opponents records are 5-22.

So what. The point is we are better than at least 15 of the teams ranked in the top 25. We have already beat one team. It's pure disrespect to not be ranked and receive less votes than a 4 loss team.

 

[clmssun]

The 4-loss team that took the new #2 team to the wire or the 4 loss team that beat two top 5 opponents ?

Never really cared for ranks. Unless youre in the Top 10 the rest is so subjective because comparison is difficult. We have 1 decent win this year, not a great win but a decent one. Our other 6 wins are over teams that are struggling for bowl eligibility. And non of those wins are terribly convincing except Arkansas. I'm pumped were 7-3 but it's been ugly.

 

[clmssun]

Yes, USC is better than #25 NCState, demonstrated on a neutral field; I have no defense or rationalization for the voters' perspective here. Who else?

 

[GWMorris]

Struggling to beat bad teams (Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida, Louisiana Tech -- and three of those at home) is not a formula for respect. Our best win is over the No. 25 team in the season opener. While I'm happy with the progress, I can understand why AP voters aren't overwhelmed.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

If we win next weekend, we stand a chance of being ranked for a week.

If we haven't lost to Wofford first.

The only time we ever won the East, it was on the strength of a 5-3 record. That was when the East was beginning to really suck.

It appears it's time for your nightly laxative.

As far as the rankings, who cares? We're not competing for anything (well, 2nd in the East) and it won't help us in bowl selection, so there's really nothing to gain. Then again, if we win out we'll more than likely slide in at 25 or 24.
Just win...that's all the team needs to focus on.

 

[cockn'fyr]

Beat Clemson and all is resolved!
