Here's a question...Do we crack the Top 25 this week? Do we care?

Rankings mean nothing. Saturday is the most important game we play.

We may get a some votes....not likely top 25 IMO....
I think the team will play inspired ball if lacking respect and the longer that lasts the better for us.

Don't care and I hope not... Only after December 20!

I agree. Under the radar is the best place to be.

Seems like when we get that distinction too early in the season it is a curse. Rather stay below the radar until the end.

Harvard and LC each get 2 votes. James Madison (2-4) and Cal Poly (3-3) both in top 25. Go figure. No curse yet.

The consolidated computer ranking have us ahead of Colgate and Holy Cross. That doesnt mean anything of course, but just found it interesting.

Not much love being shown by the polls. AGS barely recognized Lafayette's existence before this week. The Pards have now struggled up in their "others receiving votes" category to the equivalent of a no. 32 ranking, far behind both Colgate and Holy Cross. TSN does not have us in the Top 25 and I have not seen their "others receiving votes" yet. TSN took a hit a few weeks ago however, when they had Lehigh (0-4 at the time) rated higher than Lafayette and a few other schools having respectable seasons.
These things are a joke. After they get past the top 10 these people have as much knowledge and information about FCS football as a Lapland reindeer herder. That's why I don't vote anymore. I didn't know that Eastern Washington and Northern Arizona were schools with football programs and not merely large empty areas on maps of the western U.S.

We are 25 in the GPI (gridiron power index) ahead of both Colgate and Holy Cross. I also think these polls are poor, but at least one area has us ranked.

More info as to how the Rodney Dangerfield Pards have fared in this week's polls:
AGS - no. 32
TSN - no. 30
Coach's Poll - No. 35
Don't get no respect.

Carney, respect has to be earned, not given. We can earn it by winning the next 5 games, starting on Saturday.

I was kinda counting on a trade - maybe Pard94 and 2 on the 50 for the Bucknell game for a No. 23 ranking.

I'm not even sure what that means but I think I'm insulted.

The GPI takes the polls into account so to be ranked #25 in the GPI without being ranked in any of the polls is rather impressive.

Probably a result of our game against you and your
game against James Madison.

P4Life - I'm assuming Libertine is a Liberty? So the GPI thinks we positioned ourselves well even with the Liberty loss?
