Week 2 AP rankings
- Thread starter Chishawk1425
- Start date
Kinda surprised the Hawks gained 4 spots in the AP, since "it was only Illinois St".
Looks like Illinois St moved up to #22 after keeping it within 40 to Iowa.

Coincidentally enough, they dropped to #22 in the FCS poll. They were #20 last week. North Dakota was #22 last week but moved up to #20 this week despite losing to Iowa State. So both Iowa and ISU were playing (on paper) pretty even opponents last week.
SDSU and NDSU still 1 and 2 despite losing, but Montana State leapfrogged their in state rival to become 3 after defeating the fighting Deacon Hills!
Crazy that both Florida and Florida State are totally out.
Michigan probably gonna get exposed.
Michigan is basically Iowa with somewhat better resources.
Can't help but wonder if McNamara is kicking himself for leaving Ann Arbor. Odds are, he'd probably be starting in Ann Arbor (and Sully would be starting in Iowa City. A win-win).
It takes 2 straight opening season losses to unranked teams including a shellacking at home to Boston College to accomplish that rare feat.
Really? Why would Cade be kicking himself? Michigan screwed him and All over and were not going to give medical clearance to either because they went out and got second opinions and had their surgeries against the M doctors advice. He was probably never going to play at Michigan again.
Most of the time, it's a case of who lost ahead of you and you just naturally move up. In this case, FSU, TA&M, and Clemson all lost ahead of us, so we move up those 3 spots, plus NC St didn't look all that great against Western Carolina.
40-zip against a pretty solid FCS team and Fla St losing 2 games totally opened up one of those 4 spots.
Michigan is the all time winningest program in college football... a little more than Iowa with "somewhat better resources"

Too early to get overly excited by polls......just win and go 2-0....then the next.
Required a unique set of circumstances:
Top 10 preseason ranking (a paper tiger based on last year)
2 games in "1 week" (meaning they played in the week 0 opener)
Lose both games (who they really are)
Not a good time to be an FSU fan
Keep winning and keep climbing, nothing but opportunities and optimism for now. We can do this!
Florida St has certainly "earned" that distinction. They are loaded with talent and look absolutely horrible.
Where do you think you are? This is Iowa where the backup QB is always better than the starter.
Right. First week games can be pretty deceiving. Everyone was talking about how good Georgia Tech looked after beating FSU in Ireland, and now everyone knows that all they did was struggle to beat a shitty FSU team that got boat raced by Boston College at home this week.
Built a great deal by Bo who let his son get molested by the team doc and kept that covered up. Just google it as Bo's son says it all happened.
