Have we ever been ranked higher in FB or BB?

[RenoAztec]

I can never remember (and I go back awhile) us being ranked in either major sport #7 or higher. I do recall that the FB team was ranked in the top 10 in the 70's right before we lost three games in a row.

Actually in the early 70s, I won several NC for both the Aztec football and basketball programs while playing down at Wintergardens Elementary school and in my driveway. I can still hear the countdown "5, 4, 3, 2, he shoots he scores AZTECS WIN, AZTECS WIN" ;D

Never in the top 10 in FB. We got to #13 before we lost to the Zonies in '75 and finished around #16 in '77 (would have been higher and maybe top 10 in '77 if Fresno hadn't pounded us earlier in the year).

Before our preseason #25 ranking this year, we had never been ranked in Basketball in 90 years.

Football I don't remember us being ranked in the top 20 much less the top 10.

I remember being number 11 in one poll before that Arizona game in '75, but it's true that we lost that game and went into the tank for the final 2 after that. We were never in the top 10.

Damnit Baby, I wish I was in San Diego that year.

I seem to remember that not only were we #11, but # 8 or 9 had already lost by the time our game started and we had a chance to be top 10 with a win. Closest that we ever got in football, Div 1.
