I actually think this is the best one this week.

I think App, Jax St & W&M are all too high - otherwise I'm fine.

How on earth is Liberty NOT ranked? I thought at least between 20-25. WOW!

9 CAA teams in the Top 25, but none until No. 9...interesting.

From 20-25 is always a crapshoot. Not saying they don't belong, but at the same time there's no real argument for their inclusion over another team.

The Bears climb all the way to 9th. Remember UMaine didn't even receive votes in the preseason poll.

i cant believe what is happening to SUU. the reverse of EWU. suu was ranked now barely has a vote.

3 straight losses wont help any

NDSU and UNI should be lower, Towson and Maine higher to balance out the CAA lumping.

Unfortunately, Liberty started their conference schedule unranked, and the Big South offers no lift. Once their record improves, they'll be in.

As an aside, the collective W-L record of Liberty's remaning opponents is 4-17.

Well I guess it's a good thing. If LU wins out then we are in the playoffs no matter where we are ranked. Again, polls don't mean that much.

Shhhhhhhh.

Spoiler: show

Should we slip into the playoffs unexpectedly, that's a short trip.

For them. If the Hens were to slip in the playoffs, they will still be home for any first round game.

In one week SIU lost 240 points/votes...oh woe is Carbondale

I actually thought they might rebound this year but the highlight of their season is beating a terrible SEMO team and only losing by 6 in a 9-3 football-crap-fest to the Fargo Hairy Cows

How they can rank NDSU above MSU I don't understand.

How in God's name does a 2-4 team that lost to WIU and YSU get even a vote?!

How does a 5-1 get ranked a head of a 6-0 team?

Beats me, hence the reason I have the Bison #1 in the MVFC in my power rankings... Maybe because the polls had UNI ahead of NDSU to start the year. I had it the other way around.

When do you y'all play so this nonsense can end???

I'd say that there's a HUGE argument for Liberty over ODU....

Based on what exactly?
