I wonder if the poll was taken before or after Urban was placed on administrative leave...
They usually do a pretty good job of putting G5 teams low to start the year so they can justify leaving them out of the playoff. Start them too high and you might have to put them in the playoff.If Frost were still at UCF what do you think they would be ranked this year? Top 10?

Yep! I think at 2-0 they might "get in" 3-0 they will be ranked for sure.Just win and the rankings will take care of itself. If the team, as a whole, is as motivated as press conferences seem to indicate, then the lack of being ranked is a temporary inconvenience.
Pump the brakes a bit - I don’t think we are ranked after going 3-0 and a win over Mich probably gets us into the top 20 but definitely not the top 10 with the amount of teams ahead of us to start with.Yep! I think at 2-0 they might "get in" 3-0 they will be ranked for sure.
If they go 4-0 and beat an undefeated Michigan team they will do a rocket climb to top 10
