If there is no I-AA, just I-A schools now, who says that they are not eligable? Well I wanted to find out and according to one pollster <BR/><BR/>"By the way, according to the AP in New York, Appalachian State is not eligible for the Division I-A poll"<BR/><BR/>According to the AP website "Appalachian State is not eligible for the AP Top 25, which only ranks Bowl Subdivision teams."<BR/><BR/>So apparently, no matter how good you are, if you are going to be in the hunt for the tournament championship, you cannot be ranked in the AP/Coaches Poll...which makes sense as they would have to run their table and beat 7 top tier teams to make a BCS bowl rather than be in their divisional tournament and pull the $$ that comes with tournament games. Just imagine the year one of those teams would have to have to be eligable to play in a bowl game that would pay out gianormously for them. <BR/><BR/>But look at what those guys can do at their level. You have a group of guys that were either looked over by the bigger boys or chose to go to that level and be studs and play ball and they can do great things like beat a Goliath like that or win a national championship on a much more regular basis. <BR/><BR/>Like I tell my kids in class, great to have an opinion, but back it up with something...Melbyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552544565694159257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-83896111176262938942007-09-04T17:19:00.000-04:002007-09-04T17:19:00.000-04:00Georgia Techs offense was not that good.

Had some very strong throws (great out pass and a laser right over the ear of a turned around LB on a perfect slant)...hopefully he can keep it up and at least put up a fight against Penn State.
