This is from ESPN's Bubble Watch a week ago:

Even Wyoming, under the new management of first-year coach Larry Shyatt, is exceeding all expectations. Thirteen of the Cowboys' 15 wins have come against teams outside the RPI top 150, so we won't include them here yet. But if Wyoming pulls off a home win over UNLV on Saturday, well, make room for the Pokes on this page.

I can't help but think that, at this point of the season last year, the discussion around our team at the national level was because we were changing coaches before the season was over.

I am so thankful that we made the moves we did.

Go Pokes.

Also, has anyone noticed that, among the national media types, there has always been some expectation that one of the SDSU/UNLV/New Mexico trio would drop a game in Laramie? It would seem that we are not even considered to be a bad or surprising loss for the conference headliners in the eyes of the national guys.

That speaks as much to me about where our program is as any ranking or projection.
