The good news is that at some point they are going to feel bad for us and take us off the list.

How are we not #1 or at least the bottom 3? I don't get it. We lost to a transition team, a terrible team and what may be a decent G5 team. No wins. We are most likely going to be 0-7 in the near future.

Its not a "real" ranking. Its satire.

Nah as long as we suck as we do right now we can expect to live in their count down. UTEP has been the living the dream for the last three years. I can only see us cementing our spot as we progress(dare i say regress) into the season.

Wish we played UTEP instead of UNT. I’d like to know which team would win that battle. It’d be a pretty good matchup.

Apparently we WERE #1 for a time....

#5 is always a P5 team.

LOL. Kugler was just horrible and UTEP got a new AD and he let him go. Woooody you listening?

Think this win gets out of the Bottom 10

Nice. We're out (not even in the waiting list) and the entire Coastal division is in.

In fairness, he did a P5-only Bottom 10 (******* major conferences can't even let the G5 shine in a worst-of poll!), so while ODU almost certainly wouldn't be in the top 10, they might have sill landed in the waiting list. Or perhaps not.

And he really needs to cool it with the corny nicknames. Not funny (not as in offensive, but as in why bother?).

That said, props for quoting the most excellent Railroad Man. As an oft-laid off print journalist trying to cobble together a living in the print unfriendly time we're in now, the second stanza speaks deeply to me:

I feel like an old railroad man
Who's really tried the best that he can
To make his life add up to something good
But this engine no longer burns on wood
And I guess I may never understand
The times that I live in are not made for a railroad man

Agreed, especially on the awful nicknames. But he did leave room to dunk on UTEP. Poor Miners.

We're also out of the CBS Sports Bottom 25 this week.
