Herd gets 27 votes, good enough for 37th if the ratings were extended that far.

Only UCF is ranked ahead of us. Interesting to see Louisiana has that many votes as well.

Second most votes for a G5 school.

Don't know if CUSA's concern about Marshall self-voting to host the championship game (later rendered moot by votes in the Harris Poll, and further rendered moot by the conference just making up tiebreaker rules after the fact), led to Marshall's Holliday not having a vote in the poll this year?

Will have to earn it

Marshall will probably win the national championship this year

The following CUSA Coaches have a vote in the poll.

David Bailiff, Rice
Larry Coker, Texas-San Antonio
Dan McCarney, North Texas
Todd Monken, Southern Mississippi
Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee
Ron Turner, Florida International

Real surprised Missouri isn't in the top 25, but Texas is.

Ok.

I see Rice is just one vote behind Arizona. As are all the rest of us.

No place to go but up.

AMWAY sponsors the coaches poll? I don't think I could come up with a more appropriate sponsor if I created one out of whole cloth.

Our chances, while still being .01%, are multiple magnitudes greater than USM's.

Granted.

Though a start would be winning your first conference championship.

There are so many teams now. The poll should rank the top 35. There are a lot of good teams outside the top 25.

they should delay all polls until week 4 or 5

And winning more then 1 game in two years.

Who is that? I don't see a school by that name on the list of receiving votes...

Look, you guys can keep that little name debate to yourselves or start another thread.

I would love to see at least 1 ranked CUSA team at the end of the year with 2 more receiving votes. 2 ranked teams from time to time would be great. To me, that should be our goal as a conference right now.

I just ask for them to be referred by their legal name. And I think we have a good chance of Marshall being ranked going into the CUSA championship game and maybe the western champion receiving votes if they only have a single close loss.

Agree completely. There's no point in having a preseason poll. I find it a little funny that Texas is in it. They didn't do anything last year and no one knows what they have this season. Preseason polls are ridiculous and a waste of time. Rank should be earned.
