    I bet they don't fall far, if at all, in the rankings. There was even speculation they may gain a few votes. They played like hell. My hats off to them.

    It was a good game but that was the worst example of clock management I have ever seen in my life. It did not matter in the end since they could not make a first down but I think it could of if they had.

    I don't see them falling in the polls.

    THey will fall 3-4 spots minimum. That's just the way the polls work. If you lose a game, you will drop in the polls. Example: Cal fell from 7 to 9 after losing to USC, even though they dominated the game.

    I think this could be a different case though. They were undefeated, but underranked because they are Conf-USA. Now, considering this game has "legitamized" them, they could move up amongst the BCS teams with one loss.

    Hopefully, they'll move down behind us in the polls. That is, after all, the way it works, and I doubt the pollsters really put THAT much thought into their positioning.

    I think they will drop, but it will only be a few spots. L'ville will certainly be included in the top 25 next week.

    It was a good game, although I would have liked a different outcome.

    Does anyone know why LeFors never got back into the game. It looked like they pulled him out after getting hit pretty hard. I know they put that freshman QB in for a few drives a game, but I thought for sure Lefors was coming back in.

    The only thing I can figure is that they "let" Miami score and saved the timeouts for a potential game tying drive. Nothing else makes sense.

    That's a shame, that kid was having a great game.
