AP & Coaches Polls

Recommended Posts

They were receiving 4-5 points in the Coaches poll last week, now they are all getting 11-12.  Last week in the AP, Boise had 5 points, Nevada had 1, and SJSU hadn't cracked it yet.  This week, Boise got 6, SJSU 5, and Nevada 3.  Bottom line is that the poll voters are saying there is no statistical difference among the three judged on top of the heap in the MW -- almost like a three-way tie.  But there is always next week, and as a Spartan fan, I know Fresno would *really* love to take the Spartans down a notch, and they are more than capable of doing so.

I love to beat SJSU cause we need to win out to make the champ game. But at this point SJSU is basically just another team to me. Rivalry wise Hawaii, SDSU, Boise are all ahead of SJSU in my book. I guess it is just my age because there has really only been one huge SJSU football game in my books (the year they ended Fresno's undefeated season). But even that year I knew Fresno's undefeated record was kinda fools gold (Fresno was good that year but no way a top 15 team) and that loss hurt wayy less than the Boise lose in 01 or even the Nevada in 05.

Yeah, I guess people younger than, say, late 40s can't really remember (except as a kid, maybe, certainly less than college-age) when SJSU-FSU was *the* thing in the 1980s and early 1990s, until Fresno left for the WAC.  Sweeney and Gilbert.  Towel waving.  "Take off that RED shirt!"  Mike Perez against Stephen Baker "the Touchdown Maker".  That insane 1986 game.  When for 9 of 11 seasons from 1981 to 1991, one of them won the PCAA/Big West(FSU five times, SJSU four times).  Holy smokes, that was fun.  It was on a more regional, less national stage, but for those involved, it was huge.

I was at that 1986 game, and it's still the best football game I've been too (of any kind). Most of my dormies left early, but a few of us stayed and saw the Spartans comeback. :thumbsup:

Yep.  I almost had to beg to find someone to cover my scheduled shift at work (I was also a student at the time) so I could be there.  That was crazy.

Sports Illustrated named it the college football game of the year in 1986. I hope this weekend's game will be just as exciting!

Will this be the year we (MW) do not get any team in the top 25?

Will we also have no representative in the AP?

Boise and SDSU will not be there, Who will.

Has anyone actually seen Coastal Carolina? Are they really deserving of number 15? Marshall perhaps but CCU...I don't know.

Of course this season is partly the fault of Hair but god what a mess.

I fear this season may be a view of next year as well.

They are also saying any team with 5 or 6 points or less is not worth a damn.

San Jose St looks like a top 25 type team. Boise is still very good. They ran into the best BYU team since 1996 and a QB that is making 4 or 5 ridiculous throws a game. 
 

the bottom looks a lot better to. New Mexico has no wins but is an extremely difficult out and there is no quit in that team. 
 

I think BSU, San Jose and SDSU would give any team problems. On TV San Jose St looks like a P5 team to me.

SJSU is soon going to want to kick the other 11 schools out of the MWC. 

Maybe kick out Fresno at the very least.

They haven't kept up with SJSU.

ehh, the fool's gold feeling didn't start to seep in until about 3/4 of the way through the year as basically every defensive starter except derron smith got hurt.  That said, by the time SJSU rolled around and i saw we were starting Jonathan Norton because every other DB was hurt i was pretty resigned....i was helping my old man clear out a stump during the first half and jackson texted me that it was like 35-35 in the second quarter and i just went "yup we aint winning this one".
