Even this Mountaineer thinks 12 is a little too high but we'll take the good press.

stAte got a B- letter grade. In both places we were third behind App and Louisiana. Can't complain. We do need to fix that of course. Still congrats to both teams. Little brother in the NW corner of the state got an F. They did earn it.

Goals for next year, South and Texas State need to win move up at least 10 spots. ULM and Troy need to crack the top 100. I think App State was ranked too high, but I will take it. It would be really good if we didn't have any teams in the bottom 20 or even better bottom 30.

62? That was not a good season, surprised they put us there.

Same. I think we’re really somewhere around State.

You did beat their #12 team...

Other computers and polls that rank App highly will probably give GS a good spot too. Colley has App at 11 and GS at 60:

So it wasn't as bad of a loss for App as everyone was making it out to be. Kind of bad but not horrible.

No, still pretty bad.

Losses between the two almost never impact the outcome of a season either way.

Not sure, even in computer ranking, how you rank OSU above Clemson when Clemson beat OSU, head to head, at a neutral site. And Clemson’s loss was to #1 LSU.....

Looking at the teams below us, makes me really sad that we are that bad......

If we would have played Trotter the whole year, we could have won 2 or 3 more. Then ranked around 100. I have optimism for next year with more experience at qb, gain experience for our young guys, new home stadium should be a better team.

Yeah, a computer like Colley's is going to occasionally miss something that SEEMS obvious, like putting Clemson over OSU, because of the way it rewards teams for wins over good opponents. Clemson just didn't have the resume start to finish this season, although they might have ended up higher than the Buckeyes if the ACC had produced a few more contenders.

I do wonder, actually, what the spread/odds would be on a Clemson/Ohio St. rematch if they played tomorrow.

Really interested to see Campbell’s recruits and see if they can gain a winning culture. So many things actually have me excited about football for next season.
