Congrats, does that make 4 now with at least votes?

[Grizaholic17]

That is great! haha. Up there with the ranks of Georgia. WOOT

[ncguitarplyr]

How ironic is it that Montana receives a vote via the App State rule a week before they play App State

Bastards jinxed us! xlolx

[bshgriz]

GO Griz.. If we win out we have to be ranked right?

[tribe_pride]

Anyone know who gave you the vote? Possibly a Carolina voter?

[BEAR]

No. There are 25 FBS schools better then Montana. xlolx

We'll we're not the 38th best team either, doesn't mean it couldn't happen

Does this mean you get a crack at a BCS bowl via being a non qual.?

ASU lost to ECU by 4 points and they got 53 points xnodx

Montana is the greatest team of all timexrolleyesx
Actually, that should be a new thread.

[Montana_Mojo]

Does Brent Musberger have a vote in the AP poll? If so, that's likely where the lone vote for Montana came from.

Why don't you start it?...BTW...which team will the CAA be sending to the Super Bowlxrolleyesx Actually, that should be a new thread.

Why would he vote for the Griz?

[PhoenixSupreme]

Does Brent Musberger have a vote in the AP poll? If so, that's likely where the lone vote for Montana came from.

According to Wikipedia...Musberger lived halfway between Bozeman and Billings. So that means there's a 50% chance he voted for y'all (and a 50% chance he would have voted you out of the FCS Top 25 :D).

[grizband]

Why would he vote for the Griz?
Musberger is from Montana, and during the Notre Dame/Stanford game, he kept mentioning our comeback against South Dakota State.

[SpidersSportsEditor]

Congrats but it may be the kiss of death. The Spiders lost by one by missing a short field goal the week after they got a top 25 vote...and App State is a damn good football team

[mlbowl]

How could that be possible...The Griz do not belong to the ACC...I mean CAAxrolleyesx
Actually, that should be a new thread.

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Anyone know who gave you the vote? Possibly a UNC-Chapel Hill voter?

Fixed. xlolx

[SpeedkingATL]

xhurrayxThat's very cool for Montana. Any FCS recognition is a good thing.xhurrayx

I see a bad moon rising... xeyebrowx

He has a house in Hamilton which is about 45 minutes south of Missoula and he is a Griz fan....however i doubt thats where the lone vote came from.

[shil79]

According to Pollspeak.com, the writer that voted the Griz #25 was Ray Ratto of the San Francisco Chronicle. He's also the same guy that voted Richmond #25 earlier in the year.

Ha. I was actually wondering if it was the same guy. Guess so.

Musberger is from Big Timber (like you said, between Bozeman and Billings), same place Bobby Hauck is from. However he isn't a voting member.

[caribbeanhen]

FCS getting votes is always good to see,

[CopperCat]

Thank App State for that. ;):D

UM has nobody to thank but themselves for their season thus far. Same goes for getting votes in a poll.

[Skjellyfetti]

Same goes for getting votes in a poll.

You mean the poll that FCS teams weren't allowed to receive votes in a few years ago... that is until a certain team beat a top 5 FBS team? :D

[ncguitarplyr]

yeah I seriously doubt they would have changed the rule just so one dude could vote for Montana lol

[JMU Newbill]

I'd love to see their SOS figure compared to other teams in the poll. Can you get a negative number?

[WVAPPmountaineer]

That is great! haha. Up there with the ranks of Georgia. WOOT

Love It - thanks to the APP State rule - I hope we see FCS teams getting votes every year ----

[89Hen]

Good for I-AA, but a joke at the same time. They didn't even play a I-A this year. When App got votes, at least that made some sense as they played and beat a ranked I-A. xconfusedx

[LakesBison]

Montana hasnt played a FBS team and face facts they were pounded by SDSU in the 1st half. embarassing that they got a vote.

Plus we're not a "good" team, right?

When you use facts your points come across better. Thank you for finally using facts. :Dxlolxxlolx

Just because Arizona beat an unranked USC team they get ranked? We could have had Montana & Villanova?

Hey, we just won a quarterfinal game 51-0! Doesn't that deserve a little credit???;)
