Syracuse Football's Favorite AP Voters

This week Syracuse received eight points in the AP Poll (and three votes in the Coaches Poll). Since the Coaches Poll is too cowardly to show personal ballots, we'll never know how Doug Marrone was able to vote three times.

But we can figure out how SU ended up getting votes in the AP one. Thanks to the folks over at PollSpeak, we find out that our eight points were based on five AP voters including us in their ballots. Let us honor and rejoice their names:

Wade Denniston, Logan Herald-Journal (Utah) - Make sure you pick up a copy of the Logan Herald-Journal this week to say thanks cause Wade slide us in all the way up at No. 23. If anyone tells Wade where our first three wins came from, I will maim you.

If you're name is Rob Long, how do NOT put SU in your Top 25? Rob Long of Maryland's Dox 1370 Radio hooked us up with a No. 24 spot. He also slipped Maryland in there at No. 25.

Joe Giglio of the News & Observer of Raleigh dropped the Orange in at No. 25. As did Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald and Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News. Wolf also has what seems to be the craziest AP Poll around.

Can we do some kind of

Joe Pesci-Ray Liotta intimidation?

I love this, I really do.

But my nagging question is: why doesn’t Pitt also have receiving votes? Yes, they have 3 losses and we only have two. But two of those losses are to good teams (Utah and Miami). And, more importantly, they did beat us up head-to-head in the Dome.

My guess is that out of the top 25 folks are just looking at records and see we only have two losses. I’m not complaining, but it still nags at me, especially when my Pitt friend brings it up.

Allred threatens fellow ambulance chaser with libel/defamation lawsuit...
One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
