We are getting votes, but haven't gotten back into the top 25 in Coach's, Stats or FloSports polls. Mercer consistently @ #7 and UTC between 20 & 25. We are floating with ETSU in the middle of "also getting votes" - and I think both schools deserve better. A close win this weekend won't do us much good. We need to establish a strong (scoring) offense, and hold the Bellhops down. Go Cats! (Probably no TTC podcast this week as I'll be in Myrtle Beach with some fraternity brothers trying to re-live our college life.  |

After getting beat by #9 Montana, we dropped completely out of the rankings, and are not getting any respect from the voters. I don't understand it, we were ranked #24 at the time, and basically lost by one touchdown, I didn't think we should have dropped out, but.... the Campbell game continues to hurt us... they are 2-4 at this point. |

Had we not lost to Campbell, it's my opinion the loss to Montana would not have hurt us. As it is now, that was a bad loss and I don't think we belong in any rankings until we prove otherwise with some good wins. |

I agree. I am not upset about not being ranked. I don't think we have proven anything. Beat Mercer and if we still are not ranked then I would have an issue. The SoCon is very mid this year aside from Mercer so beating the Wofford, Cid, VMI, or even Furman will not lift us into the top 25 as they are not noteworthy teams or wins

To heck with the polls - let’s just go 1-0 vs The Citadel.

Agree GaCat. Like playing golf, if we think about the last hole or the last bad shot, it will probably mean we are getting ready to hit some more bad ones or choke down the stretch. The Campbell loss was bad. Heck - the Montana loss might end up being bad after seeing how many points they have given up since we played them. But all this team can do is try to win the next game. Let's beat an improving and tough Citadel team this weekend, then think about Furman, then think about....
The old cliche holds true - it is truly one game at a time right now.
