CBSSports.com has put out their initial Bottom 25 list and 4 MW teams are on it. UNM is #23, Fresno is #20,
Utah St is #10, and UNLV is #9. Just plain sucky.

I really don't understand these rankings. Never have. They are more so just based on previous weeks performance rather than how they match to the rest of the country. Like last year, Florida was ranked the 5th worst team in the nation according to the "Bottom 10" after going 4-7. That right there shows how meaningless this ranking is. They did the same thing with Auburn several years back. Yes, those teams did bad in their conference those years but they would absolutely destroy majority of the other teams. Utah st and Fresno St are not some of the worst teams in the country. There are several dozen worse. They just happened to play bad last week against very good opponents. Now, New Mex and Vegas? Ya, they are probabaly towards the bottom.

This makes as much sense as the annual Syracuse hype that goes on every year.

I'm with Sdsu4life - these "rankings" are just nonsense.
For example, there are 3 SEC schools on that list this week.
I suppose that means the South East Conference is also "Just plain sucky"?

The "our conference sucks" comments are getting so old!!!! Would we like to see SDSU in a P5?.....of course!!!!
But until then, it just looks bad and it looks like we are on the playground begging to get put in the dodgeball game. It's a pathetic way to think and even more pathetic to keep saying it.
Come on folks, get over it and just enjoy Aztec athletics as they are today, which is pretty good and getting better every day.
Anyone that says "there are too many other things to do in San Diego" doesn't have the right to complain about the conference affiliation. Bad mouthing the conference is doing the school, the athletes, the coaches and the administration a disservice.

Not much has changed. the MW has had AT LEAST 4 teams that have ranked that poorly for the last 10 years or so. it was always New Mexico, UNLV, Wyoming, Colorado State bringing up the rear. Now that we added all these other light weights, I'm surprised we don't have more. whatever, it doesnt make much of a difference if you're a SDSU fan. I just want our guys to do well.

On the bright side, it is better than how the league did in basketball rankings.

Bad mouthing the conference is doing the school, the athletes, the coaches and the administration a disservice. I couldn't agree more. Aztec athletics is in the MW because that's where they belong. They are what they are and this is the perfect environment. Yes, four consecutive bowl games is a good thing, but how about the Aztecs get in the Las Vegas Bowl this year. Then I would consider the season a qualified success. |

South Carolina is no way in hell a bottom 10 team lol. Even putting Iowa St in there is a far stretch. To me, a bottom 10 team is a team ranked against the entire FBS field. Not on how they performaned last week. |

Putting South Carolina in there was just a way to get a dig in at how pathetically bad they were. Particularly on defense, particularly considering they're an SEC school and particularly considering aTm's QB was starting his first game ever. Oh and to hell with South Carolina, which was the first state to secede from the union.

Fresno won't be on it for long. unless they lose to Utah and then Nebraska to start their season 0-3 Sure, it could happen, but they'll win plenty in the MWC I would imagine. No way they finish in the bottom 25, of course. |
