Paladins ranked #11 this week

When was the last time Furman was ranked in the Top 10 in the nation?

#5 Villanova also lost to JMU 38-24, but I don't expect them to drop much

Don't count your chickens. Several teams right behind us won so they could jump us.

Nobody will jump us, #12 Nichols barely beat a 0-6 team and #13 NC A&T was off as well

If they hold on, Youngstown St will make a big jump, maybe all the way into the top 10. But UNI and Towson are locks to drop below the Paladins. I doubt Montana St will fall quite enough . . . you have to look not only at the current ranking but also the voting point totals. Sacramento St is unranked (though #27 including the ORV) but #11 in Massey even before crushing the Massey #9 team on the road.

Bottom line is that the Paladins should wind up #9 or #10 in the next coaches and STATS polls.

We have to take care of business first against El Cid.

Montana State now has three losses. I can't imagine a team this early in the season being in the top 10 with that many but we'll find out Monday.

Yep, most people on AGS thought Montana St was a fraud and should not be ranked that high. Don't have to worry about YSU making a big jump. South Dakota St. outscored them 35-14 in the second half and won 38-28.

Actually they are 5-2

But I do expect Furman to jump them and be ranked #8 in the new poll Monday

Does anyone know the last time we were ranked in the Top 10?

Almost 100% certain it was the first week of the playoffs in 2006. We were 8-3 and ranked #7 and went to Bozeman to play #18 Montana State. We lost and fell to #12 in the final poll.
