Guess we got Marshall's votes who got ECU's votes.

I wonder if Rice, Marshall, and ECU all win their bowl games if they all 3 receive votes?

We've got to get our best inside Top 25 polls again.

Wonder what we need to do to get the MAC voters to start paying attention to our best teams. They get Top 25 rankings at the drop of a hat; not saying they don't earn them, but their road to Top 25 seems much easier than others.

Go Rice Owls!

Good stuff. Congrats to Rice!

7 points in the AP poll.

You all are gonna lose. ECU got votes before they lost, Marshall lost the week they got votes. Looks like a curse this year.

It's an insignificant sample size to count.

Just kidding. Congratulations. If you win your bowl you just might make it in. A lot of teams in front of you will lose their bowl games.

23 votes? Have the ballots been revealed yet? Are you sure that Rice received 23 votes for 25th place?

Not necessarily 23 last place votes. Some might have put the Owls as high as 22nd. Not sure they release all individual votes. Totals are here:

One guy voted us 19th, so I guess that is 6 less that voted us #25.

Doc Holliday voted us 24. Class move.
