That's sad. So FCS of them

Yes, they photoshopped the Ainsley complex into Richmond's city stadium

Damn, they're good photoshoppers.
But I guess that's a required core competency for art grads.

USA Today's 1-128 rerank has the Monarchs up 17 spots to 82

Quote:Three big leaps:

No. 31 Arkansas (No. 44). Through four games, Bret Bielema's coaching job with the Razorbacks has been one of the nation's best.

No. 35 Georgia Tech (No. 55). A win against Virginia Tech may or may not look better as the year wears on, but there's something to be said for knocking off the Hokies in Blacksburg.

No. 82 Old Dominion (No. 99). The FBS newcomers defeated defending Conference USA champions Rice in its conference debut.

Who....

Not long ago we were saying we'd love to crack the top 100 and now I'm wondering if we can crack the top 75?!

VCU sucks...

I wonder if we beat MTSU if we receive coaches poll votes...Hear me out. David Bailiff (Rice), Rick Stockstill (MTSU) and Larry Coker (UTSA) all have votes. Conference coaches need to support their own especially with the whole P5/G5 thing. NC State is receiving 7 votes and we nearly had a 28-10 lead on them in Raleigh.

Well, win the next 2 and I think we'd start to see a few. Marshall sitting with 31 votes...

Yep. I don't think MTSU alone gets us votes.

Yeah, it's gotta be Middle Tennessee AND Marshall. That puts ODU at 5-1 with a win against potentially a top 25 team (Marshall could backdoor their way in if a bunch of lower ranked teams lose this week). But that's a pretty massive undertaking.
