I'm a bit mystified by that myself - how can we be 3 spots below Wisconsin and 7 below Auburn in the AP Poll when we beat both of them and currently have the same W-L record as both of them??? The Coaches' Poll is a little more consistent but not by much... Will be interesting to see where we fall in this weeks CFB Invitational Poll as it is supposed to take "# of quality wins" and "head-to-head" outcome into consideration as tie-breakers for teams with similar on-field records.....
The further down the rankings you get the looser the already loose criteria seems to be as the stakes are much lower...
Maybe the pollsters read this board. Its a catch-22. Franklin sucks because we never beat anyone we shouldn't beat, but here we sit unranked because we suck with two wins over more highly ranked teams that our posters that complain about us never beating better teams won't give this years team credit for beating.
