In the wake of Appalachian State's defeat of Michigan last weekend, the Associated Press announced that it would allow its voters to include Division 1-AA schools in their selections of the top 25 teams in the country. Seems fair, right? Ah, but what if you're one of those teams ranked 20-25 before the almost-certain inclusion of Appalachian State in next week's poll, and perhaps another one of the lower-division teams? You're almost certainly bumped out of the top 25, unless you continue to win. Even if you win, it had better be done convincingly, preferably against a quality opponent.
Beware,
20 Hawaii
21 Georgia Tech
22 Boise State
23 Texas A&M
24 Tennessee
25 Clemson
Here's the current Division 1-AA Top 25 poll.
