No way UD should be ahead of Maine.

Let's wait until JMU next week...

Has something happened with the Maine team between Saturday evening and this morning?

Last I checked Maine beat Delaware by 2 scores.....

Stop slot-voting people and rank the teams. Unless something crazy happened to Maine since Saturday shouldn't Maine be considered better than Delaware. They just proved it on the field.

Seems like UD had too far to fall, and Maine too far to climb, for them to switch places in one week.

For those saying the CAA is down...8 teams ranked out of 10 (can't vote for UMass)

and yes I had Maine ahead of UD.

This was how it was in my poll. I didn't have Maine in the top 25 last week, and UD at 4 or 5.. after this week Maine moved to 20, Delaware to 10..

Jacksonville State ranked 13 is such a joke; I think their resume is worse than ODU's. I also agree that Maine should be above UD but it's not that big of a deal. Otherwise, I like it.

Again, for clarity, how do you guys vote? Do you rank them at this point of the season? Do you look forward at the schedule and predict where the teams will finish the season? I think this should be clarified before you vote so that everyone is on the same page.

This.

I had UD falling from #7 to #12 and Maine climbing from UR to #21.

I had a hard time with the last 10 slots. This result isn't bad.

I had Maine enter my poll at # 13.

I had Maine as #8 and Delaware as #7 last week.

This week I moved Maine up to #6, Delaware to #8, and found room for New Hampshire between the two at #7.

Why do people insist on sliding teams up and down? SHSU and Maine should not be punished for low pre-season expectations.

EDIT: I see that somehow SHSU is Top 10. Hmm.

Changing of the guard, Mr. Old Guard.

SHSU actually had one #1 vote on AGS. Guess who that was.

Nope. Just a lot of mediocre teams out there. I have no problem with new teams, as long as they've done something. Indiana State? Really? Because they beat WKU? Do you know WKU has two wins in their last THIRTY-FIVE games? Or was it the win over Youngstown who was 1-7 in the MVFC last year.

Maybe it's their 4-1 record? Or the fact they're tied for 1st place in the MVC?

Perhaps we should just continue to vote in teams like Villanover because they won a title a couple years ago....

I'm still wondering why Jax State is as high as #13? I don't mind them in the poll, but #13? JSU? Really?

Indiana St has a better record, and better resume than Deleware does. Would you also be of the opinion that UD is not worthy of a ranking?

Indiana St is a good team, and they have certainly earned their spot in the top 25.

Tennessee Tech 3-0 4-1
Duquesne 2-0 4-1

#15? My ass. If you would have looked at the original post, I included UD as an overranked team thank you very much.

But even if I didn't, why do people always resort to calling out the team of the poster? What does UD have to do with Indiana State at all?
