That was 2007.

Twelve.

So, yes, I like that.

But if you look at those models, if you look at the Sagarin models that would have us as like a four or five point favorite over over teams like Tulane or UNT, all the computers say that JMU should be in.

But the committee has made it pretty clear that they just have a hard on for the American.

So whoever wins the American, I'm just assuming is going to get into the playoff.

I do think that it feels a little bit personal that Tom Fernelli keeps going out of his way to say JMU doesn't have a chance.

Wow.

It feels personal.

Tom, something so inconsequential as who gets to be the sacrificial lamb from the group of five, you can just throw me a bone and maybe just don't write full articles about how, hey, all you JMU fans.

You're getting your hopes up for nothing.

Yeah, that is, you don't have to, we could know that.

You don't have to say it.

There is one voter that has JMU, I think, ranked number eight or nine overall in the country.

Okay.

And it's that same guy that we talked about from last time.

Shout out that guy out in Wyoming or whatever.

Tom also might just be dealing with the fact that, would you say that Luke Fickle's time at Wisconsin has gone well so far?

Yeah, which I'm back on the trade, so this is not an anti-Luke Fickle thing I'm about to say.

But maybe Tom is dealing with the fact that, fun fact, Luke Fickle's never lost to Illinois.
