I've been following closely since the near-end of the Crawford era. To my less-than-omniscient knowledge, I don't believe we've EVER received a SINGLE vote before. Go Zips!!! :)

The only real possiblility I can imagine is back during the year of the quitters. That season, they started the MAC season 8-1 and were running away with the league until they took a crap mentally and finished 3-7 in their last 10 games.Outside chance there was a vote there, but I'm guesing and talking out of my :moon: GoZips! Let's get another at the Convo. And get some help from Miami.

You both are correct, I believe it was the 1996-1997 season when we knocked off Toledo (who at the time was like 10-0 or 12-0) we got a few top 20 votes (we were like 8-2 or something). Can't find it anywhere on the net but I'm pretty sure that we got a few top 20 votes then. Too bad the team tanked!

JP, you might be on to something, but we're talking about 2 different seasons. The team that knocked of Toledo (ranked 17th? at the time) was Ball's sophomore year (Bosley's first) I think. The quitters were 2 years later.

I am almost positive that we received votes while I was in school. Tarver was on the team. We lost to North Carolina and I think Cincinnati that year when they were ranked high. That year, we were a MAC favorite and started strong. If I remember right it ended up being a bad year, but expectations were high. I think the PG, Hollinsworth? left the team or something and the chemistry was awful. I am almost positive.Edit: Week 1 and 2 of 2003-2004 season, Akron received 3 and 4 points respectively in the Coaches Poll, not the AP, but close enough for me.
