As we approach

This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1959 Championship team. So I decided to look back and see how good have we been since then. In those 50 seasons SU has finished the season ranked 18 times (the Coaches poll 17 times and in the AP poll 12 times). From 1959-1967 we finished ranked every year. But we didnt finish ranked again until 1987. From 1987-2001 we finished ranked 10 times out of 15 seasons. But since 2001 we have been dry. Hopefully Marrone will fix that sooner rather than later.

For comparison the other BE teams Top 25 finishes the last 50 years
