WSU the Rodney Dangerfield of major college football

COUGARS • UPDATED: 7 P.M.

Just had to drop this link on you.

If you feel Washington State never gets any respect nationally, you are right. And this column by ESPN's Mark Schlabach proves it.

The Cougars have been the most underrated team in the past 10 years in the formula Schlabach uses. Check it out.

You can also check out John Blanchette's column from this morning on former Coug defensive back Marcus Trufant.

UPDATE: The AP poll is out and USC is No. 1, of course, with Wisconsin No. 7, the same spot it was in the coaches poll. The Cougars have four opponents ranked in the top 25.
