The Frogs are 7-1 in Conference USA and broke into the Top 25 polls for the first time in program history at No. 24 according to the USA Today/ESPN Coach’s Poll released Monday.

Despite the milestone, head coach Jeff Mittie said they still have a lot to prove.

The Frogs have been on the verge of cracking the Top 25 sitting at No. 26 for two consecutive weeks. They fell one vote short two weeks ago after the wins against Cincinnati and Louisville.
