Coach's Poll- Sept 27

[clenz]

So...let's say that UNI had a bye week instead of playing Iowa State, and had played Iowa State to open the season rather than having a bye.

Would you have dropped UNI out of the poll going L-W-L-B because they still haven't won a game in three weeks?

None of this really matters anyway, the teams will settle it on the field. If you want to argue polls, move up to FBS.

It's your fan base that thinks their team should move up...not ours

It's your fanbase that rivals Bisonville.

I don't have them ranked because they haven't won a football game in 3 weeks. And Montana JUST came BACK into my poll after winning a football game last weekend. Is that simple enough for you?

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts.

WTF is it with you Iowegians?

win 2 straight games....show the world you're for real....and it will all work itself out in the wash. Gettin' your panties in a bunch at this point in the season is truly pointless.

They calculate "real wins" differently in Iowegia.

Teams should be ranked according to how they have performed SO FAR THIS YEAR and should have very little to do with what their injury situation is, how good they will be by the end of the year, how good they were last year, how many National Championships they've won, their reputation, how many players they send to the NFL, where their cheerleading squad ranks or how big their stadium is...it should be performance based on the results of this years games only. That's why the polls up until week 5 or 6 are rather lame at best and sometimes laughable at worst.

Nice to have a playoff.......

Agreed on the last statement, but they are never really accurate. At this point in the season, you MUST use more info than just the games played (ie - how good they were last year, how many players are returning, etc...). There's simply not enough data on the limited number of games played. Look at the stats I gave for NAU in the other thread. They've had good records the last 5 years halfway through the season only to see them finish .500 or worse. I will say it one more time... those that choose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

I'm kind of hoping history of 2005, 2006, and 2007 will repeat then.
