17 in the AP Poll

[tired]

Could be top 10 if we beat GA

Shades of our 2014 rise from nowhere. Just keep doing what we did last night and the rankings will take care of themselves.

I had to ask Dooley WTF on Twitter after even one of his own Gahters said we should be ahead of LSU and he put them at 16 and us at 24. He's from the SEC and should know better.

The three that didn't rank us thought we were the Spartans or Black Bears.

Why on earth would anyone email one of them? Please don't do this.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Yeah. This is worse than complaining about down votes

It's only a problem if the emailer acts like an *** or makes stupid, illogical arguments. I can quote several times when writers emailed me back, told me I'd convinced them, and they did indeed rank us higher the next week, jumping us above teams who hadn't lost in the meantime.

Most of these AP voters are lazy jokes who don't really do their own research, so if you do it for them and can argue it intelligently, they'll listen.

And before anyone says the rankings don't matter, they do. The networks are always hyping the ranked teams, and the higher you are, the more they promote your team and your games.
