2012 vs 2013 Polls
In 2012 it took until week 13 and a 10-1 record to become ranked in both polls and ended up at 15 in the BCS at the end of the year.
Now in 2013 we are 5-0 and ranked in both after week 7. We've got a 6 week head start over last year of increased national exposure that comes each week with being in the top 25. Voters will now see more highlights and coverage of our games. Time to start making statements and pounding weaker teams, no more letting them hang around til late in games. Style points count more now than ever, especially when being in a dog fight (pun intended)with Fresno for that BCS spot!

I agree. 3 mistakes yesterday led to a 21 pt swing, which could have been used as more fuel for style pts.

RE: 2012 vs 2013 Polls
we've got 7 regular season games left:
4 Home (Akron, EMU, BSU, WMU) - Need 3 convincing wins (thinking cover the spread as they should be 25+ plus) and vs BSU we just need a W
2 Away (UMASS & UT) Gotta pound UMass and just win at UT

We have three away games left - at CMU after Akron.
