johnnyzip84 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 The LA Times has their own list. It ain't pretty. DReal, I expect you to send a few letters to the sports editor over there immediately! :gun: :gun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Approaching #1, in the Bottom 10 Bottom 10 Week 7 "Out in the Cold:" After losing 38-10 at Ohio last week, the Zips became the first FBS team to be eliminated from bowl consideration. On a fun note: Waiting list includes "Ohio State's special teams" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckzip Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Aaaaaand there it is. Although I agree with UA being the worst, having Texas in there makes this stupid. Yes Texas is 4-3, which is bad for them. But they would still beat half of the top 20. This is just jab at them for having a down year.

Im not sure how well versed you are in the "Bottom 10", but the #5 spot is reserved for a big-name team that had a bad loss the previous weekend or two.

GoZips88 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Three (Akron, EMU, BGSU) MAC schools IN the Bottom 10 and three (CMU, BSU, Buffalo)on the waiting list. A truly pathetic conference, making iCoach's run towards a defeated season all the more remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Can't wait for the Akron-Ball State pillow fight of the week. And I win. Ball State-Akron is the pillow fight of the week, and the Zips hold on to the coveted #1 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally B Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 What scares me though is the Harris Poll We have a "rank" rating of 10.67. I have never seen a team go below double digits. Infact i can't remember anyone going this low before For comparison: 1 Boisie State 97.98 26 Temple 60.76 32 N.Illinois 58.50 59 Ohio 49.42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first three years they were ranked 106th, 96th and 69th. That makes me feel even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ball State-Akron is the pillow fight of the week, and the Zips hold on to the coveted #1 spot.I think it should be mandatory now to show up to games with the bags on our heads. What is yours going to say? I'm thinking about 'Wistrcillized'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is yours going to say? I'm thinking about 'Wistrcillized'? Ianell-NO? Worst D-1 team in the country!!!! What a freaking embarassment The entire MAC is going to get demoted out of D-1 if this continues. I hope this does not kick BBall out of D-1 as well.

MDZip Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 No surprise, we are still at the bottom but I'd like to thank Pat Forde for including this little nugget in his Forde Yard Dash. Miami (Ohio) (25). Record: 6-4. Last bowl game: 2004 Independence. Games remaining: at winless Akron, Temple. Projected record: 7-5. What's gone right: The RedHawks are 4-0 in games decided by seven points or fewer after winning a total of three games the previous two seasons. On the bright side for you Lee Owens fans, he did include Ashland in his Obscure College Score of the week (and a nice photo of Olivia Munn).

MDZip Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Insert dead horse icon here. No surprise we made the pillow fight of the week, but in a mild surprise: "Know Your Enemy:" The winless Zips have to know they're actually good enough to beat Buffalo in their finale, this week's Pillow Fight of the Week.

MDZip Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 And, the Zips are indeed off the list. In Schlabach's words: "Akron, which was No. 1 in the Bottom 10 rankings after entering its final game with a 0-11 record, defeated Buffalo 22-14 last week to earn a 10-month reprieve from the Bottom 10". I'm guessing you'll see us return next fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you'll see us return next fall. Rather than to say "I told you so" regarding exit from the list, lets just say............ The bottom ten is is a particularly valuable resource for the Zips. We should be making every effort to schedule Memphis, New Mexico, New Mexico State, San Jose State, UNLV and Western Kentucky for football games.

I am sure Memphis, UNLV, etal are saying the same thing. I can hear their respective ADs talking in a meeting "Let's schedule Akron!! Heck - Gardner Webb beat em and they lost 55-3 to Stonybrook!!" "Who the hell is Stony Brook" "I don't know - but make sure we schedule Akron - not that powerhouse Stony Brook!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
