    Food For Discussion

    Michigan went from a Top 10 team at the start of the year to receiving no votes after being picked off by Appalachian State. They've since come back into the fray after a series of underwhelming victories, including struggling against Eastern Michigan at home.

    Appalachian State received some votes for their Michigan win, and after losing to Wofford, haven't been seen since.

    Can anyone explain to me why this is? I mean, besides the fact that ranking ASU in Week Two was a cheap and condescending gimmick.

      Didn't Mich. disappear after their second home loss - Oregon?

          Going from #4 all the way out of the polls I believe is the biggest tumble an FBS team has ever taken.

            IMO the sports writers who vote in 1-a polls phone it in. They don't look at depth charts or compare talent position by position. Hell most of the time they do not take the time to look at quality wins. They vote like most fans; on name recognition.

            Personally, I think the only way south Florida is ranked at all is half of the voters think Miami changed its name.

            seriously if that school was called south (any other state except California) they would not even be ranked.

              umm they're undefeated, beat a top 5 team, and beat a top 20 team on the road. Why shouldn't they be ranked?

                they should be ranked number 1 or 2. My point is with the worthless sports writers voting on this poll i am shocked they are ranked at all.

                I am glad but shocked
