I know CSU is 9-1, however they don't have a great SoS.

Fire Away! Looking at it, I made a couple of minor placement errors. Probably giving the SoCon too much credit.

#2 Eastern Illinois Panthers
#3 Eastern Washington Eagles
#4 Maine Black Bears
#5 Fordham Rams
#6 Montana State Bobcats
#7 Sam Houston State Bearkats
#8 Northern Arizona Lumberjacks

I had Maine at 4, MSU at 6

Us gay fans have to stick together...




Wait, that doesn't sound quite right

Maine doesn't have the bad loss that Montana State does.

Somebody here doesn't watch much football and votes on only one issue.

Repeat after me...MSU has a DII win and LOST to a 3-6 team...a loss that was NOT an accident since they gave up 52 points and well over 500 yards to that 3-6 team.

Cripes, Fordham has a better resume than MSU.

Noticed UNH has dropped in the polls since Travis has been MIA.

At the risk of starting this up again ...the D2 is probably equal to the Bryant and Norfolk State wins.

Mr T - care to explain how you have Montana 3 spots ahead of NAU?

That is what I thought..

I could explain it, but you won't care until I have the two schools reversed, so it really doesn't matter.

So in other words, no reason, just a homer vote. Got it - another delusional Montana fan that is clueless about football.

Here's the tl;dr version: The way I do my polls it's much harder for teams to move up than move down, and when NAU beat UM the two were very far a part in the polls. NAU may not have even been in my poll at that point.

So you are so married to your pre-season poll you ignore the real world. Got it.

My preseason poll looks nothing like this one. Luckily we all have the freedom to build our polls differently. See, I told you there'd be no point in explaining.

He just isn't tolerant of others thoughts.



And dback..I have been saying for a couple weeks now that Montana is still too high.

What I have a problem with is putting undefeated or one-loss teams from historically weak conferences (I'm looking at you, Charleston Southern and Bethune Cookman) so high in the polls...these teams will historically be one-and-done in the tournament, taking a spot from a more deserving team that lost 3-4 games playing a schedule that is significantly more difficult.

Do you consider EIU one of those, being from a historically weak conference? I have a hard time ranking Ivy's very high for the same reason.
