So then how can you have Colgate 7 spots higher than Lafayette?

[GOKATS]

You know that Colgate lost to Lafayette this weekend right?

Maybe he had Colgate @ #4 or #5 last week...

Nope, I had 'em 14 so I dropped them a couple spots. I didn't have Lafayette last week so I recognized their win.

Several teams at the top dropped despite of wins. That's what you get when you have so many teams in one conference in the Top 10. Deal with it CAA. Montana , despite the win you have been beaten better teams by a lot more. Montana slept on Idaho State hence the reason why they dropped.

called it

This is THIS WEEK's poll, not the one from 3 weeks ago...

I understand that. Its the fact that SDSU has a better record and won the head to head with UNI. Why does UNI jump SDSU for beating YSU?

Not that it matters, but curious why you have Central Arkansas ranked ahead of Southeastern Louisiana...we beat UCA head-to-head (without our starting QB, TE and top two WRs), have a better overall record, and better conference record; plus one of their conference losses came against a team we beat - Texas State.

Again, no biggie, but doesn't make a lot of sense

UNI didn't jump SDSU. SDSU dropped significantly after getting blownout. I had SDSU at 8, and to keep them ahead of UNI they would've only dropped 2 spots to 10th as UNI was 11th (after moving up on their Bye weekend due to everyone else shitting their pants, and this last weekend's convincing win over YSU.

Lots of things doesn't make sense. The only answer I have is where they were positioned before this weekend's games.

[SumItUp]

2) Elon (4)

Elon has only beat one team that has a winning record (Chattanooga 5-4). Their victories come against teams that have a combined record of 24-48. That's not #2 material. They may be a top 10 team, but if they get soundly beat by App St., they may slip to the 11-15 range. I think a team in the top 5 should have a minimum of one victory against another Top 10 team. With the current teams in the top 5, I do not see them breaking through even with a victory over App St.

If Elon is a top 5 team, they will get the chance to prove it in the playoffs.

I, too, have Elon at #2. Thought long and hard about it. Elon's only loss has been to FBS (and BCS member) Wake Forest. They are undefeated against all FCS teams and they play in a traditionally strong conference. If they lose this week, they will drop accordingly. But playing Appalachian State at home, I like their chances for a win. If they win, they will have met your requirement of a win over another top 10 team.

You know that Lafayette lost to Liberty right? Did the loss to JMU really drop Liberty that far in your book?

I was in a hurry when I finished up my ballot, so I momentarily forgot that they lost to Liberty.

If I had the ballot to do over again, I would move PVAMU up a spot, put Liberty @ 18, put Lafayette @ 19, and drop FAMU, Weber & EWU each a spot.

That's why I think its great to post your ballot. I totally the bottom of my poll up, not seriously considering Texas State, SELA or Montana State.
