BGSU has received votes in the coaches poll for four weeks this season, but has yet to receive any recognition in the Associated Press poll which is released each Monday. Perhaps the most impressive note about the Falcons this season is they have seven wins over programs which are ranked in the top 113 of the RPI. BGSU's schedule is the 26th best in the country accoring to the RPI.
BGSU puts its eight-game winning streak on the line Saturday at 2:05 at Indiana State.
