Win the series this weekend and I think we are #1 in most polls.

8-5. We lost 2 to #21 FAU. Still solid, though.

We've been ranked #1 in baseball in the not-so-distant past. So that's nothing new. But the '14 football team spending 5 weeks there got me thinking: when was the Flagship(tm) ranked #1 in a major sport at any time during any season in the modern era?

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

Football made it to #3 under Nutt then imploded along with a failed Heisman campaign.

So to answer your question, not once that I can recall.

TSUN had the #1 crootin' class for a few weeks at the beginning of the 2015 cycle. Ironically, I think that banner will only hang for a few more weeks.**

Weren't they Number 2 last year when we were Number 1?

Coaches poll has us at 8. Wow that's bad.

Vandy at 4 is even more laughable.

That's to be expected. O'Sullivan probably put us down around 25, and the rest of the coaches we've beat might not like us much either. And you know the OM coach wouldn't vote for us to be very high. The coaches' poll doesn't mean very much.

Vandy at 4 is indeed a joke based on on the field results. Are they feasibly the 4th (or better) most talented team in the country? Quite possibly so... however they have yet to win a series against a western division opponent.

They aren't even in the Top 4 of the SEC standings. Tied for 5th.

Back in 63 they were number one in the National Geographic Magazine.

You're confusing it with Highlights. It's my favorite episode:

Goofus lies about what he did. Gallant is honest about his mistake.
Goofus lies again to cover up his first lie. Gallant accepts his punishment.
Goofus says, "It's good thing." Gallant laughs and laughs.
Goofus has a worse punishment. Gallant says, "I told you so."

Highlights?! That ain't ****. Hugh Freezus graces the cover of every other Ranger Rick these days.
