Makes Illinois much bigger, win and you're probably in, lose and it may take weeks just to get back to receiving votes.

Did anyone watch us win haha! This is the one thing that continued success will have. It's why we need the top programs to have continued success

Coaches Poll, zero votes for CUSA teams. What the hell is wrong with CUSA's AD's? Drop all votes that went to La Tech last week, and don't even vote for a conference mate anywhere. Complete garbage from our conference.

Are you suggesting someone actually had a top 25 worthy week?

Thoughtful response. If I had a vote, I wouldn't vote for anyone in this conference based on week 1.

North Texas win 59-14, but drops 3 places in the rankings...

You were jumped by teams that were more impressive.

Iowa State was nearly as impressive against a better FCS squad,

Cal, the biggest climber of the week, got a big OOC win against UNC(biggest fall of the week).

Marshall and BC both got decent FBS wins.

Indiana far exceeded expectations against tOSU.

You also jumped UNC and Baylor.

Just curious if they have WKU that high out of respect from the last few seasons?

Nothing to wonder about there and you guys did enough against EKU to just stand pat, I think a touchdown less in margin of victory and you guys would have fallen at least a few spots.

I believe what wkuhilltopperfan point is is the same one I made after the first coaches poll came out. Some coaches in some conference use their votes to "help their conference" not who deserve top 25.

Just going off memory but I believe the SBC had 3 schools and the AAC had 5 or 6 schools getting votes in the top 25 and the MAC had at least a couple. While Tech was the only school in CUSA receiving votes.

So going by that...shouldn't CUSA do the same? If we are going to debate right or wrong...deserving not deserving, the case could have been made that Western deserved votes if 9 schools from the AAC and SBC got them.

CUSA coaches might just be honest on their voting while others are not. My personal opinion, CUSA coaches should be using the system just as other conference seem to do. While we all demean the top 25 poll...there is value being in one. Value to the school in it. Value to the conference the school plays in. Value to those conference schools playing that ranked team week after week.

So I believe wkuhilltopperfan is saying maybe CUSA coaches should play the system like others are doing. Not that Western or Tech or Middle or Marshall or any of our schools "deserve" a top 25 vote at this point. For most of those getting votes a case could be made they also don't "deserve" it.

That poll is pure click bait. Has ODU at 54, ahead of West Virginia, Mich St, Texas, Pitt, Texas Tech, no way. A total joke.

LA Tech is ranked #44, while this week's opponent Mississippi State is ranked #53.

As opposed to voting for who else instead?

Why don't we call ourselves P6(P7?) while we're at it?

Same mentality.

Such as? LOL!

The point is, this time of year you don't really know who's "Top 25" worthy yet. Losses last weekend by Texas, Baylor, TX A&M, etc....proved this point. At this point, WKU is as good a choice for Top 25 as any of those schools.
