5-4 teams at 16 and 24?

You're regurgitating facts we can all see, Clenzy. Perhaps you should make the case for which teams below, say, Delaware at #16 should be above Delaware and why. Certainly, Delaware has one bad loss to Rhode Island, but also two victories over teams ranked above them in the poll.

Jackson State at 15 is a joke.

Just spitballin', but I would think ISU should switch places with them.

W&M at 4-4 at 19? I just don't get that one

Not sure how Lehigh is ahead of New Hampshire in any of these polls (CS and AGS included). Actually, I'm not even sure how Lehigh is a Top 10 team. Is beating up on the Patriot League really that impressive?

Illinois State's two best wins came against #21 and #24 in the poll. Delaware's came against #12 and #14. Ill St has a bad loss to E Ill and Delaware has a bad loss to Rhode Island, so push there.

They haven't been challenged at all outside of two games against Top 25 squads. One was a loss on a questionable call and the other was a win.

They are also benefiting from a QB putting up ridiculous numbers and coming off a playoff win.

Clenz, there's a lot of crap out there this year.

Delaware doesn't deserve to be ranked, but for the life of me I can't find 10 teams below them to knock them out of the top 25.

Exactly. You can bitch about how high a team is, but please, make a rock solid case about which team below them should knock them down before spouting off about it.

Looks a lot like the Tarzan Course at Marine OCS in Quantico.

I agree, they are a top 25 team but top ten I question also.

There are only about 12-15 FCS teams with "good" resumes at this point.

and yes, people can squabble about the top 10.

thankfully, FCS has a playoff, so polls don't really matter much. One could say that the top 5 are important for seeding purposes, but the 4 (now 5) playoff seeds don't always match the top 5 in the polls.

CPAlum · Post by **CPAlum** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 4:34 pm

Some polls may have Cal Poly a bit high but for them to not show up in the top 25 at this point is ridiculous

....their only FCS loss was to Montana on the road.

And in the completely out of touch with reality catagory.....we have the San Diego Torrero's continuing to revieve votes...

As I've said before whoever is voting San Diego into this poll needs to have their voting rights revoked.

It's really tough to move teams in and out of the top 25. Like AZ said, once you get past the top 15 it gets really blurry as to who should go where or if they even belong. At least regular season polls don't matter right?...
