It amazes me that they have UD and JMU still ranked.

Who below them is really that much better? Liberty? Harvard?

I would salivate to play teams like that instead of Maine, Towson and ODU (two of which we've beaten).

ODU ahead of Townsend?

Furman, UCA, and I'm sure a good handful of others I haven't seen play.

Don't say I didn't tell you this over a month ago. Where are all you people who criticized me for saying those two were overranked. You can line up to my butt.

UCA? You're joking, right?

Furman, maybe. They do have a couple of good wins.

Furman and Delaware's resumes are quite similar. Both with a couple of good wins against top 25 teams. Couple of bad losses each, and Furman's were doozies. Samford? Coastal Carolina? How do you lose to teams like that?

Furman has beaten two top 5 teams, and is 6-3. UD has beaten two top 15ish teams, and is 5-4.

Furman = wins over 4 and 10, losses to unranked Coastal and Samford and #4 (and soon to Florida)
Delaware = wins over 11 and 12, losses to unranked URI and UMass and #13 and Navy

Like 93 said, maybe Furman. OK, that knocks UD down to 16.

As it should be.

Does it really matter? Having ODU and Towson 11 and 12 pretty much says the voters think they are pretty evenly matched teams which was proven when the two played.

And Towson beat ODU...so, if you're going to say they're evenly matched, why not just put them in front of ODU because of the head-to-head result?

I see what youre saying, I just don't think 1 spot is that big of a deal to discuss. Towson continues to win and beats UNH this week and whoever they finish the season against with ODU being idle the last week and I'll guarantee you'll see the Tigers ahead of the Monarchs. Also FWIW, it took A LOT for Towson to beat ODU. It was one of the biggest choke jobs I've seen in a while.

Well, thankfully the CS.com pollsters know what they're doing and put the Tigers 3 spots above ODU. Argument settled.

Towson won on last minute fluke plays. In fact they cheated. Bribery is also suspected. I'm sure sodomy is in the mix as well.

The Ravens won on a last second play too. FLUKE!

You play the entire 60 minutes not just the first 56.

Hey Andy, is Towson bidding on a home game for the Playoffs?

The AD told me yes.
