Warriors drop to No. 24 in AP poll

Advertiser Staff

The University of Hawai'i football team dropped four spots to No. 24 in today's Associated Press poll.

Hawai'i (2-0, 1-0 Western Athletic Conference) won at Louisiana Tech, 45-44 in overtime yesterday.

USC remained at No. 1, followed by LSU. The Trojans were idle yesterday while LSU routed Virginia Tech 48-7 in Death Valley. USC received 40 first-place votes from the media panel, down from 59 last week, and 1,619 points.

LSU received 25 first-place votes and 1,582 points.

Appalachian State, a week after pulling off a stunning upset at Michigan, received 19 points, not nearly enough to be ranked but it got a spot between Auburn (23 points) and Cincinnati (12 points) in the list of others receiving votes.

The Mountaineers, who play in Division I's Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA), became eligible for the Top 25 when The Associated Press changed it policy last week to allow voters to vote for teams from all divisions of college football.
