So EIU can claim a win over a ranked Illinois State! And UT-M over a ranked UCA!

What matters is that when the game was played, both teams were ranked.
Well shit, App was top 15 when we beat the shit out of them. Quality win, here we come!
So you're telling me that you can beat a ranked team in Week 2 and they are ranked until Week 9, for example, and every week after 9 your win against a ranked team is now just a win? What if the drop in ranks is due to injuries or something?
Btw, I didn't know most quit counting ranked wins after that team, who was ranked when beaten, is no longer ranked.

I'm man enough to admit that I didn't know wins against ranked teams are null if that team falls out of the ranking afterwards.
OH so if they are ranked when you play and not the day afterwards, your win against a ranked team means nothing? Got it.
It is current ranking.
If at the end of the season, if South Carolina State was ranked (but wasn't when CCU beat them), that would be meaningful. But beating a "ranked" team based on pre-season, early season rankings is meaningless. See: App State

Ranked 25 in one poll is sketchy at best, add in that it was week 2 and that the team hasn't really come close to being back in the poll... no, it is not a ranked win IMO. Not even close.

Oh, so if CSU beat the #1 team in Week 3 it wouldn't mean a thing?

Correct. Much better to have beaten a team that wasn't ranked at the time, but are ranked by season's end.
Says the internet tough guy. You have no basis for thinking me gay other than you being a self hating homosexual. It's either that or you think this 12th grade bully routine works in the real world. Well, it doesn't. People like you will be left behind because at a certain age, nobody wants to put up with your bullshit. The people that might are as worthless and full of shit as you. Enjoy being the tough guy, 3000 miles away. Enjoy being a bad ass on the internet. Go tell your friend how you told some guy on the internet that he was gay. I'm sure they'll think it's funny or cool. Most likely sad.
And only one period is necessary at the end of a sentence.

Dbackjon, who is a great guy and has met me will tell you flat out how wrong you are. You are so obsessed with me.
Put me on the side of those who say that what matters is where teams your team played are ranked at the end of the year. Take this thing with Appalachian State this year. Obviously, when people had them ranked highly early, they were over rated. As more information came in it became clear that was the case. They're not as good as people thought they were at the time.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came

Good post. That is how it works. Make the playoffs. Then beat teams and prove you belong.
You can never be certain how the selection committee will act, but I'd say you're safely in.

I'd say if there were questions about any teams making the playoffs, Chas. So. isn't one of them. With their record, the selection committee would be crazy not to include the Bucs.
