Ok poll. Too much love for Patriot League teams...there are NOT the same number of top 25 teams in the Patriot League as the Big Sky.

I scoured schedules, scores, and common games in order to put the 8-win and 9-win teams from the weaker teams into my top 25 ballots, but when I tried to imagine substituting ANY Patriot, NEC, Big South, Ivy or SWAC team in NAU's place against Eastern Washington, or MSU's place against Montana, there is no way! Not this year!

Maine would beat half of the teams in this poll and most of the ones "receiving votes".

I thought you were going to pull that out yesterday

Maine played very well yesterday in the close loss to New Hampshire and would perform credibly in cross-conference match-ups, no doubt.

I know. Just imagine how many JMU would beat.

I know you're not including Old Dominion in that group. With Wilder at the helm, we would know all of your weaknesses.
