UConn jumped from 23rd to 13th in the lastest BCS standings released Sunday evening.
On Sunday UConn (7-1. 3-0 Big East) also earned its first ranking in the two most recognized college football polls. UConn was ranked No. 16 in the Associated touch writers poll and No. 20 in the USA Today Coaches poll.
“I just think it’s something with the work that the kids have put in and being 7-1 and being 3-0 in the Big East populate accept that we’ve done some good things through 8 games,” UConn coach Randy Edsall said Sunday before the channel of the BCS standings. “It’s a credit to the hard work of the players and the assistant coaches.”
UConn became the second quickest schedule to earn a top-25 ranking in the AP survey.
UConn needed 5 years and 10 weeks to earn an AP ranking since they became a full-fledged member of the Division I-A in 2002. Marshall was the fastest aggroup to accomplish the feat doing it in their third season in 1999. South Florida which became a full Division I-A member in 2001 had passed Boise State earlier this season as the second fastest team to accomplish the feat doing it in 6-years and 3 weeks.
“It’s nice for the schedule being the first measure that it’s ever happened it’s another milestone of what we’ve been doing here and being the second fastest team to ever do it is something that I think speaks volumes of the work and the effort that the players have put in to getting themselves there,” Edsall said. “That being said it’s not something that we’re going to be too concerned about. Our whole focus and concentration has got to be on our next bet.”
South Florida which was ranked as high as No. 2 this season and had been ranked 11th in the AP poll coming into Saturday’s game fell to No. 20. They went from 12th to 21st in the USA Today poll. They were ranked 10th in the BCS standings before Saturday’s bet and fell to 18th on Sunday.
