I'd say from about 18-30/33 in the poll are tough calls IMO, a lot of teams could be easily interchangeable... so I went with the homer pick.

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

I have JMU at #17 in mine. I know they are 6-5 but the Patriot League, MEAC, Ivy League, Big South, and are all nowhere near as tough as the CAA so I have JMU ahead of PVAMU, Holy Cross, FAMU, Texas State, Penn, Liberty, EIU, Harvard, etc.

Yeah, that's how I feel.... but I thought it was just me being a homer, so I put them lower and still feel like a homer

Shit, I had us at #23 last week. I was busy in the lab all day and didn't get time to submit, but I did have us a couple spots higher this week. It mostly came down to who would win - JMU or Colgate (or FAMU or whoever)? I was really struggling last week to find 25 teams who could beat us and it was even harder this week. I know you looked at it objectively, and if your SEC bias was showing and you gave the Dawgs some love, then we could talk homerism.

Yeah, I think I had us in the same spot last week if not 25. I also feel the same about finding teams that could beat JMU... but, that's "ifs" and "buts."


... I've been off the Dawgs bandwagon since before this season. Knew they were going to have a bad/sub par season and didn't felt like getting caught up with all the whaco's down here. You don't know how many people I thought were going to slit their wrist after the Kentucky game. Some people take things way to seriously.

Northern Iowa lost to Illinois State, are 7-4, and don't have a quality win. Why are they 11th?

[MrTitleist]

Because I had them much higher before they lost, but didn't see the need to drop them real far down.
