You're right ASU did "barely beat" PB. But we blew out Alcorn. And they beat you a couple of weeks ago.
again, you can't lose late and think you won't fall. It doesn't work that way in any poll. Before losing to Michigan on last Saturday, Ohio State was in line to play for the national championship. They aint in line no mo.

The Sheridan pollsters (and everybody else outside of North Alabama) don't give a rat's arse about Jacksonville St.
We're talking about a Black College Poll, and unless you're beating a PWC that someone has actually heard of, then you're gonna get MUCH MORE respect for beating FAMU.

and Alcorn just beat you. So, do you think Alcorn should be ranked higher than you?

More often than not the poll is out a whack...granted. But I can see how they ranked us over ya'll. We beat BCC (even the MEAC officials said so) after they viewed the fumble return for TD on tape, we beat ya'll (had a clear fumble return for TD called back) and we're SWAC east champs. Add to that we had Gram on the ropes all game long but faded in the 4th. We're just peaking at the right time....maybe, just maybe they're taking all that into consideration.
note to self: maybe shouldn't have mentioned the A&M fumble...might've sent the discussion on a whole 'nother tangent. :swink:

Unless they changed the FINAL score to reflect that you beat BCC...you didn't beat 'em! And what fumble return against AAMU are you talking about? The only fumbles I remember from the MCC were the ones that we forced on your kick return guy, and the fumble by your qb at the end of the game when he was sacked (for about the fifth time!) What game were you watching on Oct. 25?

Well MH, I have been saying this all year but you have been yelling, "But we beat FAMU head to head". Still AAMU is not impressive against good teams. I don't think that they are as good as Alabama State.....now the way the smoke sorry teams is out of this world. JSU was not even doing it like that in 1999. Jones teams actually reminds me a lot of Hughes teams though...smoke the sorry teams, lose to good teams and pull of one fluke per year (if that).

While I agree the poll leaves a lot to be desire I'm still trying to figure out what the fuss is about, AAMU isn't in the run for the title no matter how it ranks you.
Now lets look at it from a non-partisan view, you keep harping on your win with Jax-ville, that was the beginning of the season and they weren't ranked than and that same team lost to a D2 school and like a earlier poster said this is BCF they could give a rat's @ss about Jax-ville unless they were a D-1A school.
Lets look at ASU, wins they beat famu who always will garner respect and for all intent and purposes are a D-1A school.
Secondly they played extremely well against the #1 Ranked BCF school at that time and who everybody knows they actually beat by the admitting of the officials.
Third they played GSU tough who we all know was/is highly ranked.
Fourth they beat Alcorn who beat SU who was/is Rank highly.
Last but not least you say look at the records all your records show is that you played one more game overall than they have so far and that one more game includes a little school name Savannah St. which you don't seem to eager to mention as you do Jax-ville and your conf. record is 4-3 theirs is 5-2 just in case you forgot.
