    The rankings matter, and the voters are impressionable. Hell, I've convinced an AP poll voter to raise our ranking over Twitter a couple times myself.
    They need to start with our own writer.

    Yes for sure. Every good P5 team has a local homer casting their ballot to nudge things in their favor. But no, not Robbie Faulk. Does he take himself too seriously or something?

    I'm not asking for him to get ridiculous or unjustifiable. Just that if some writers are ranking us and some aren't, that he be in the half that is. And if everyone in ranking us, that his ballot is one of the better ones for us. I'm not demanding that he rank us 5 spots higher than the next highest, or rank us when no one else does, or anything like that.
