A little overreaction to some teams for one game IMO.

BTW, Illinois State? Didn't they barely escape Central Missouri State and lose handily to Northwestern?

We'll know where the CAA teams stand after everyone plays everyone.

I'm not really seeing Jax St. and JMU move up that much, nor Montana falling that far. Another couple of weeks and the polls will begin to reflect reality, but it's just another guess IMO at this point.

1. James Madison
3. Jacksonville State

10. Northern Iowa

So he's giving HUGE credit for wins over I-A's, but not for wins over teams who beat I-A's. The more I look at this ranking, the less I like it.

wow really? Liberty beats Ball St and we go down in the polls? They should be around 17 at the least

Yeah, I don't believe word of anything west of New England ever reaches Boston.
