New STATS Poll

[SuperHornet]

Montana jumps to #4. Three scalps in one week for the Big Sky is the first time that's happened since the CAA pulled it off in 2009. The Griz's ranked scalp is the 6th in FCS history and second in Big Sky history (EWU over #25 Oregon State in 2013). Dropped out: TN-Chattanooga (prev. #18, lost to prev. #20 Austin Peay), Nicholls State (prev. #22, lost big to FBS Memphis State), NC A&T (prev. #25, lost to Furman).

Nice "fuck you" to the CAA. Top two teams win by double digits and drop in the polls.

My top 5 would be:
1. SHSU (W @ NAU 42-16)
2. SDSU (W @ Col St 42-23)
3. Montana (W @ #20 Washington 13-7)
4. JMU (W Morehead St 68–10)
5. NDSU (W Albany 28-6)

So despite beating a patsy by 58, I would have dropped JMU:
1 spot due to how impressive SDSU looked vs Colorado St (I watched the game on FS1)
1 spot behind Montana since:
-that was only the 5th time a I-AA has ever beaten a ranked I-A.
-JMU lost for the season their AA OT/best or 2nd best NFL prospect for the season (course something that most vosters weren’t aware of).
-And because I’m not a homer.
