[QUOTE="Cam, post: 713886, member: 568"] I don't really mind CGC's Top 10 claim. It's really not as big of a stretch as some think if you don't look strictly at the end of season ranking. Here's Collins' years as a GT staff member ([URL='https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/georgia-tech/polls.html']source[/URL]): 1999 - Ranked in the Top 20 all season (17 weeks), Ranked in the Top 10 for 9 weeks, peaked at #7 2000 - Ranked for the last 7 weeks, peaked at #15 2001 - Ranked for 13 weeks, peaked at #9 2006 - Ranked for 10 weeks, peaked at #13 In Collins' experience as a staff member, we were ranked for 47/68 weeks (69% of the time), ranked in the Top 15 for 22 weeks (32%), and in the Top 10 for 13 weeks (19%). So, GT was almost always going into games with a number next to their name and was a top 10 team almost 20% of the time. Which is astonishing considering we have only been a Top 10 team for 7 total weeks since 2001. There's a ton of value in being ranked during the season as it shows the public perception of the program. This is why CGC always talks about being in the "college football conversation." Generally speaking, you won't be talked about unless you're ranked. For reference, we were ranked at some point in the AP poll every year between 2005-2011, but haven't been ranked since week 4 of the 2015 season. It essentially means every player we are recruiting has never seen Georgia Tech ever discussed in depth on College Gameday since they started high school. In fact, every ACC team (except GT) has been ranked at some point since 2015, which is a pretty depressing thought when you try to compare our program within our conference. That's part of the uphill battle he's trying to combat by "stretching the truth" on these shows. [/QUOTE]
