Appalachian State Ranked?

6
Vote

by JMoffat

One week after their miracle in the Big House, Appalachian State cruised to a victory over Division II Lenoir-Rhyne, 48-7.

The App. State Mountaineers came out firing early. With last week's star Armanti Edwards on the bench nursing a sore shoulder, backup QB Trey Elder accounted for a touchdown on the first 5 possesions for ASU. He threw for 4, and ran for another. App. State was up 35-0 with 10:58 left in the first half. At this point, Coach Jerry Moore put in numerous backups, who still handed Lenoir-Rhyne in the remainder of the game.

Also this week, the AP made a new rule stating that lower division teams are now eligible to receive votes in the AP Poll. They called this the "Appalachian State Rule".

With all the new developments, do you think that Appalachian State deserves to be ranked in the top 25?

What new developments? Don't you think Geogia Tech would beat Lenoir-Rhyne 48-7 or worse?

Seeing as how GTech destroyed Samford today 69-14, I'd say yes.

I tghink they should. They beat #5, then proved they're the I-AA powerhouse. No higher than #24. Untuil they can really run with the big dogs.

Wait - didn't that game prove that Michigan shouldn't be #5? Then how can you say App St beat #5? You can argue that Michigan wasn't the fifth-best team in the country, or that App St beat the fifth-best team in the country, but not both.

I think allowing 1AA schools to be ranked in 1A standings is ridiculous. If Michigan wins versus App State should they have been ranked number one in the 1AA polls?

What a shocker, I agree.
