Our other loss was to Colgate (19) who lost on the final play of the game to Harvard (17).

Do we have a sniff at also receiving votes?  There are 128 FCS teams, 39 of which received at least 1 vote last week.  Are we in the top 30%?

One could argue for 75 years.
Personally, I could argue forever...

I think if we run the table we'll be getting more than courtesy votes. we may get a few this week just from beating Lehigh and (QB-deprived) Yale, especially given how well we played Colgate in the second half. We even scored 12 points more than Colgate did against Harvard. This is a fun season and IIRC, the Ivies put two teams in the FCS tournament last year.

We're 3-2 and all of our games except G'town were against ranked opponents. Not counting chickens but the clucks and peeps are ASMR.

Local Motion

We were freezing during the tailgate and then Cornell takes the opening kick-off drives the offense for it's first score.   It was like the sun came out and Cornell never looked back.  Every time Lehigh threatened we just kept scoring touchdowns!   Congrats to the team and coaching staff.   GBR!!!

We're #35!  9 points in today's poll, which makes us unranked, but 35th if you want to look at it that way, and officially "RV."

According to Google, Cornell has never been ranked in the FCS poll; most recently RV in September 2009.
