Like i said in other thread...hawaii..way overrated! How many other teams out there with a win/loss record like theirs do you think should be in top 15? Crazy..if you ask me! But, then again..no one did...but I just don't get a high ranking like this...too many others out there playing top teams close and getting squat!

Given USC at 17 and UCLA at 19, it seems to me that there is an easy case for Hawaii in the top 16, at the very least. From there it is merely quibbling.

Granted, LMU gets in the way, but again, there is still a case to be made.

OTOH, I should heed Ruffda's advice and beware of a poster who registers for the sole purpose of criticising a team.

Good to see a MAC team in the top 25! Carlson is doing a great job!
