Correction! A reader notes that Delaware was ranked last back in 1946, which is right. So the longest active streak between AP Poll appearances for FBS teams remains Delaware. That page of the archive didn't update.

These are the schools with longer AP Poll droughts than New Mexico State, but they're all in lower levels now (or don't exist anymore).

Blake Harrell is 12-4 as East Carolina head coach since getting the interim job last year. Now 7-3 this season after beating Memphis yesterday, with two one-score losses.

Pirates are playing really well and are right in the American Conference race.

Willie Simmons has FIU at 5-5 in his first year, most wins since 2019, and they just beat Liberty yesterday. Doing a really good job there. Pitbull has to be pleased.

Indiana also invested alongside hiring Cignetti. They paid up and hit the right coach at the same time in a way not a lot of Big Ten schools are doing.

100% agree. I've always said this. They don't win the title if they don't draft Darko.

Boise State has allowed 52 total passing yards over the last two games and lost both.

Also both QBs are over 50% completions.

SDSU is also averaging over 7 yards per rush and Boise is over 4 ypc.

Boise has run the ball 22 straight plays. It's raining a lot.
