Week 12 TSN Poll

[Vidav]

No one should be ahead of NAU

Even the Bison?

NAU BEAT MONTANA, THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN ALL OF DIVISION ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[93henfan]

You can't get to the bare minimum 7 D1 wins. Your season was over two weeks ago. It'll likely take 8 D1 wins this year anyway. You guys are way, way out of that picture. Better luck in 2014. Next.

Doesn't mean they're not one of the top 25. Two completely different conversations.

Stay out of this Delaware Valley business please.

[vutomcat]

The Commisioner has spoken. LOL

[bucs90]

Based on what? Neither are traditional names, and don't play in the Northwest or Rocky Mountain region, which seems to get most of they hype in FCS lately, especially with the SoCon imploding.

Neither team has beaten anyone even remotely good.

Liberty is good and ccu beat them. CCU is good...and CSU beat them. And the Big South has owned the SoCon this year like 8-1. I know they say the SoCon is down....but thats in part bc of the Big South beating them. But we'll see. Im not naive to think they are among the elite in of FCS bc neither are until they prove it in the playoffs against traditional powers.

Liberty isn't good.

And CCU and CSU have been overrated all year, so I don't buy that, either. I think both would be at best 5th in the Big Sky/CAA and possibly worse in the MVFC.

Eastern Washington should be number 2....

Eastern Illinois has a better resume.

The Ohio Valley is not a good conference.

This. Blowing out an FBS is great and all, but the rest of their schedule is pretty pedestrian.

Better this year.

And, EIU has beaten:

Blew out 5-4 FBS San Diego State
Won AT Southern Illinois
Blew out Illinois State
Lost at #14 FBS Northern Illinois by 4

OVC also has OOC wins against likely So Con Champ Chattanooga, UCA and Missouri State.

I agree. I mean, they are undoubtedly a really good team, but the fact they play in the Ohio Valley leaves me a bit skeptical. Not trying to knock 'em, but look at the OVC's record in the playoffs. It's not exactly flattering.

I honestly believe that if EIU were playing in the Big Sky, MVFC, CAA, etc. they would not be 9-1 right now. Even for the elite teams in the power conferences, there are those 1-2 games every season that could really go either way because you are playing tough competition. EIU can't help who they play, and I'm sure they're capable of winning some playoff games especially if they get the #2 seed, but I'm not sure if I really see them as a team that's capable of winning a NC. I need to see how well they fare against some more teams outside of the OVC. I know they beat San Diego State, but I just don't see the Aztecs as that great of a team.

So. Illinois is a decent road win, but keep in mind the Salukis just lost to Missouri State by 10 AT HOME.

(not that CCU doesn't deserve to be 11th, they do).

They do? 0-1 vs ranked teams.

Why are they your TSU Tigers?

I can pimp EIU because I have some actual ties:
1) Used to Live an hour from there
2) My HS Track/CC Coach was a star athlete there
3) My Brother and Sis-in-law are alumni

No, CCU played a ranked team. We beat that team. Ergo we beat one ranked team. 1-1. The NCAA for week 2 have them at 25 for that week. Ranked is Ranked.

Meanwhile FCS Coaches poll have CCU as #9 this week. Chas. So is at #12, above NAU.

Well shit, App was top 15 when we beat the shit out of them. Quality win, here we come!

[dal4018]

How are New Hampshire and Wofford ranked ahead of Princeton???!

I don't know why, but New Hampshire has been getting it's ass kissed every week in the polls. Wofford? They're ok, but, 5-4 isn't that great. 1 loss was to Baylor.

Princeton is just not getting any love.

Put New Hampshire vs Princeton watch them get smoked!!!!
