As much of an Ashland fan as I am, I wouldn't have a problem if we were rated even lower. We have probably more skill than any other team in the region but our line still needs work. They are pass blocking very well now but still need quite a bit of work run blocking. They just haven't closed out games yet. They've won 3 blowouts but lost 2 games on the very last play of the game. A drive stalled on the 1 against Russell and a field goal missed against Ironton. Until we can prove that we can close out and win close ball games, they shouldn't move up in the rankings barring a loss from a higher ranking team.
