RE: ECU is 16th in Coaches Poll at Halfway Mark
I'm pretty shocked at how quickly you guys are moving up in the polls. Good for you guys, we didn't get that kind of treatment last year (neither did Louisville for that matter), but that could have been a factor of us having lots of close games on ESPN.

Pretty good with 6 games left in the season. At this stage if ECU keeps winning they might be in the top 10 going into the UCF game.

One thing is the amount of teams in front of us that keep losing each week. It's unprecedented.

How on earth could ECU move up for beating USF by so little. I mean after all, most of the AAC fans have stated that we suck. Please explain.
We still won by double digits and most coaches only saw the score.

I think the perception of the conf is better this year. I don't want to take anything away from ecu but I think we may have helped a little with that

Keep winning and they will continue to rise. Top 10 U.S. possible. ECU needs VTechh and SC to get into rankings

You didn't even cover the spread. Anyway, you get what I'm on about. All over this board USF this and USF that. We gave away this entire season. Just sad.

The more Ohio State wins helps too. I also think VT might end up back in the rankings it wouldn't shock me if they win the coastal.

Relax. Those that bash USF will finds things to bash no matter what happens. Our team played a good half but doesn't have the horses to beat good teams once they get get ahead. We are at best a 5-7 team this year. We are getting better but not there yet.
ECU did what a good team does when pressed and won the game kudos to them.

USF has talent and if WT is given enough time he'll win there. The way he's recruiting it probably won't take long. Wouldn't surprise me if USF is a title contender next year.

Nice ecu. If we keep winning the teams ahead of us WILL cannibalize themselves. We are bound to slip up and a loss drops us out entirely, but winning out puts us in the top 10 haha

This is helping you guys a lot in the rankings, it took 6 weeks for UCF to jump Louisville despite beating them at home on Homecoming, and having better wins/losses than they did. There is a certain 'stickiness' to the polls, but when things are going all chaotic like this year, it allows teams like ECU to move up quickly. It reminds me of 2007 where like 8 teams held the #2 spot throughout the season because as teams kept losing, pollsters just kept promoting the teams behind them.
Keep it up, and don't slip up against teams you think you should beat, because I want you guys riding high when we bring you down in greenville.

This. IMO after seeing how we've played the last couple of weeks, 16 is too high for us...but I'll take it in a heartbeat.
