Ouch, beating #1 and #3 in the most recent games gets you #5 for losing to #26 in week 1....

A narrow loss on the road to Montana moves NAU ahead of EWU with a narrow win at home against SAC.

[mlbowl]

I think the top 10 should look something like this...after that it's a crap shoot!

My bad, congrats on beating #2.

Just making the point that they actually dropped 5 spots...which they should have.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I think NAU is a good team with a really good defense.

Their run "D" is absolutely ridiculous!

of course thats why we got over 100 yards on them.

We had a couple big runs...Other than that, they completely shut our run game down.

Yes - other than those two big runs - nothing.

Couldn't score from 1 and goal on the one.

[Grizalltheway]

Let's not forget that our rushing game has been virtually non-existent all season.

No excuses.

[93henfan]

Well, I am not privy to Jeff Sagarin's formulas, but I know that W&M beat my team yesterday, and so I will have them just ahead of my team on my ballot tonight.

[webfan]

Weber State is at 37 after beating Portland State ranked at 34. What would do that? Does the computer put that much on to date schedule?
