As the others have said, they beat the #2 team in the nation. I'm actually surprised that Notre Dame didn't jump us too since they went into East Lansing and straight up dominated the #10 Spartans. ND gets a ton of media love too so I was actually expecting both Stanford and ND to be ranked ahead of us...
...I think we're better than both teams (I don't think Stanford is a very good team at all), but this is how the politics of rankings work.

True but I think part of that was USC not playing very well. They've always had a tendency to fall flat on the road against a lower opponent (Kind of like Clemson)...I think this was just another example of that.
But maybe I'm wrong...we'll find out next week when they go to Washington and face that high-powered offense.

With the same record. I dont think we lack respect relative to oter teams considering our schedule and performance thus far. If we handle fsu the way we handled Vtech on the road last year, I'll start buying the hype. Haven't seen enough out of our D to be worried about us being underrated.

respect of pollsters, but from many of the posts here, it sounds like we also have to gain the respect of posters. We do not yet have a win over a top 10 team and may not have proven our worth, but supporters are supposed to believe the best not look for the tigers to fall so you can say I told you so. I would much rather take the approach that we are a top ten team until proven otherwise not that we are not until it is proven.

This one game will make or break our year.If we win,we control our own destiny in the ACC and the polls.If we lose,we are behind Fla St.for the ACC and we will be way down in the polls with not many chances of getting back with our schedule.That is it in a nut shell.Play lights out next week and we are in the catbirds seat!

You people that think we are better than Stanford are crazy. There is no way we beat FSU we could not stop Greer's quarterback yesterday.
