When the AP Poll is released, we will have a new team ranked #18. If I’m the coach of that team, I’m taking extra steps to make sure my team is prepared for the week ahead.  Why?

The No. 18 team in the AP poll is 0-4 so far this season.

  • #18 Florida State lost to Miami.
  • #18 Notre Dame lost to Michigan.
  • #18 Utah lost to Oregon.
  • #18 Florida State (twice? OUCH!) lost to USF.

Even more bizarre? The victor has been an unranked team every week.
