Final 6 games vacated according to poll - which is wrong - games vacated were in 2011

Well, that would be difficult, since we only WON 5 games all last year. how did we go to 6-2?

It is the coaches poll. They used your 2011 record, which did have the six games vacated...

For the most part, the top part seems about right. I do have some qualms, though.
IL St, Towson St, Richmond, NAU, EKY, B-C, CCU, TN-Chatt too high.
YSU, UM, UNI, JMU too low.

Curious, why NAU too high? 8-3 last year, one of the top RB in the nation, 14 starters in total coming back. 18 seems about right.

You HAVE to support NAU. That's expected. That's honorable. But I'm fully expecting last year to be a fluke, with a return of the perennial mid-to-late-season flop. I've seen it too many times before....

One team in the top 7 east of the Mississippi? I could use a healthy dose of ECB about now.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, they have three defensive stand-outs and an experienced line in addition to Bauman. They have a good chance of being in the mix.

Isn't NAU kind of like Illinois St - they frequently come into the season with high expectations and usually have a disappointing finish and miss the playoffs? Hopefully they get over the hump this year like Illinois State did last year.

NAU is more like Haley's Comet: relevant once every dozen or so years....and that was last year.

So instead of using recent results, then you are projecting based on things that happened years ago.
Stupid.
I guess then there is never a reason to ever vote for Liberty or Sac State.
and the Cowboys may as well not even play.

I think that the MSU Bobcats are ranked to high at 2. We lost to EWU last year and I don't even want to talk about the quarter finals. I think that we should be around 5-6
