Will wmu be ranked?
It'll be interesting to see if wmu is in the top 25 when the polls are released. If nothing else, they should receive quite a few votes. I expect Central to garner a handful of votes too.

I'm thinking it'll be CMU 27, WMU 28. We'll see!

Doubt if we'll crack AP Top 25 for beating an 1-2 Illinois team. By end of the year we'll have a very good chance of being ranked.

There are six MAC coaches on the Amway-Coaches' panel. They'll probably split votes for us, CMU, Toledo, so unlikely any of us get into Top 25 there either. But could be closer.

When we get these wins it is more they downgrade the Northwestern and Illinois than upgrade the MAC team.

Sure they say good job, you beat a BIG team, but the implication is you beat a BIG team that is not really any good.

What I like about our MAC teams doing well is when we get into league play we can get some credit. But you need to really kind of run the table to be ranked.

Illinois and Northwestern will each win about 3 or 4 games.

That was and still remains my prediction. No team WMU plays has necessarily more talent. I understand "on any given day ..." but the schedule and opponent talent line up better than say last year.

RE: Will wmu be ranked?
I'm remembering earlier comments that coaches and teams should be judged on their record and not on hype or "moral victories", like doing really well against an MSU or Ohio State.

I sort of didn't agree with that then and maybe not now. In my mind some degree of quality must come into it. But I must admit 3-0 does have a nice ring to it. That won't get us votes though.

Now 5-0 with added wins over GSouthern and CMU might start to get some notice.

And if so it will help that CMU had beat OKSU in Stillwater.

Hopefully both teams win this week. There will be no still waters in Mt. P on October 8. We've always lost when I go up there, but I HAVE to get up there for this one.

We will get votes but no way we get in this week. We haven't beaten anyone anywhere near the top 25.

Don't think we get ranked but I do think we are playing the best football potentially in the history of the program. Definitely the best ball since I have been a Bronco fan starting in 2009

Haha that makes no sense. FBW is a type of flight control system not a method of flying. GTFO you angry, sour, old man
