Unbelievable.

Fresno extends their lead on us by 4 points.

Fresno gained votes while being idle, and NIU lost votes after, arguably, their best win of the season. Wtf?!

College football is a joke and the "playoff system" next year won't fix anything

Fresno lost 24 votes and we lost 27 votes for beating a 9-win team.

This stuff is so illogical yet it is allowed to determined who plays in the major bowls and who doesn't.

If the writing on the wall wasn't apparent before, it certainly is now. Either Fresno loses or we get hosed. Pretty simple.

Some coaches have MSU, NIU, UCF, Fresno, and Wisconsin all unranked. That's absurd.

There is also a coach that has FSU ranked 12, 12!!! I can't even fathom 11 teams being better than FSU.

UCF almost lost to a 1-win team and yet we lost more votes than them, lol.

Apparently beating a 9-1 team and almost losing to a 1-8 team are virtually the same in the eye of the voters.

Well at least the unbiased computers noticed our win against Ball State.

More proof we need to get out of the MAC. How many more reasons do we need?

The coaches are not giving our MAC wins respect relative to the MW and AAC conference wins UCF and Fresno are getting, that's apparent.

NIU fans talking out of both sides of their mouth here is hilarious to me. Last year it was we deserved to be in because the system said so, now the system isn't letting us in and we're being hosed. Pick a lane.

We've known since September Fresno would get in before NIU. Nothing has changed.

Beat Toledo.

Where are you finding this info? The Coaches poll does not release their ballots. The only one I've seen published is Air Forces' Troy Callhoun.

Thanks for being the unquestioned voice of reason on these boards. Without you we would be lost and there would be no sanity around here.
