Should Stony Brook be ranked 4th..?

[Cleets]

All I gotta say is:
How about Stony Brook now..?

If Sam Houston wins the National Championship shouldn't Stony Brook be ranked in the top 5..?

xdontknowx

[asumike83]

In my opinion, no. They played SHSU tight but they still lost at home to Brown and their best win was by 3 over Albany.

[Cleets]

Wasn't Brown 9-1 this season...

[asumike83]

Brown was 7-3 and they were Columbia's only win.

No they shouldn't. It's going to rain today. No sense going outside.

No. In 2004 we lost to James Madison, the National Champion, 14-13 on a very questionable call in the first round, yet finished around 15th in the final poll, with a 9-3 record. Losses to Stony Brook and Lafayette obviously held against. Same rationale.

Uggh - please don't bring that game up.

We stopped them 7 consecutive plays near the GL, and still lost because of that "personal foul". That game really irks me...

[100%GRIZ]

No!

Sorry man, I'm just hungry. Give me some thistles and I'll be all good, Stony Brook #2!

[Cocky]

Only #1 matters

[Grizzlies82]

Only #1 matters


That is why BOWLS are better?
35 teams get to end with a win. :)

[Blueandwhitefightfight]

Who is Stony Brook?? Why would they be ranked at all?

[Squealofthepig]

That close loss will move them up in my ballot, personally - where they end depends on how SHSU does in the NC game, and who they do it against.

Still, kudos to Stony Brook. By game numbers, it appears they could give the Griz a very good game (based on how they both did at SHSU), and I had not anticipated that.

[danefan]

Shouldnt Albany be 5th then? xsmiley_wix

Albany essentially gave the game to Stony Brook at Stony Brook.

Seriously though, both SBU and Albany should start the year ranked next year.

... it was unsportsman like for celebrating stopping them the first four time, who would do such a thing? xrolleyesx. I was one of the 10,000 on the grass hill that day :D

Yea and everyone child should get a trophy for playing xrolleyesx

And have the coach take them to dairy queen afterwards, thats the best part.

[ngineer]

Other than the National Champion, who merits their final spot, everyone else, when it comes to the final poll, should be rated on their body of work for the year. Focusing on one game here and there ignores the reality that all season long very good teams will lay a stinker and very bad teams, for one day, get it together for an upset. Focusing on anomalies warps the perception. We need to consider overall quality and consistency.

[The Brief]

Is Stony Brook in the Semifinals? They aren't? Then the answer is simple. No.

That didn't matter last year for us. We were in the Quarterfinals last year and arguably one play (pick which ever one you want) from the Semis and I want to say we were either 9 or 10 in alot of polls.

[Side Judge]

The better question is whether any team from Montana could beat Stony Brook at Stony Brook.

Two days ago that statement would have made me angry...

Should Albany be in the Top 6? We lost on a f'd up play with next to no time left...on their 3...in an incredible game by both teams.

Silly Cleets :)

You guys are really taking the fun out of this thread... :p

[Dane96]

I am the devil incarnate cleets. If we had to suffer in the doldrums after the loss...so must you. :)

[Twentysix]

Youngstown should probably be ranked 3rd imo. 1st when we win the NC. :p

[caribbeanhen]

only if JMU is ranked #5 .... wait they were the #5 ranked team in the CAA

[caribbeanhen]

my bracket had Stoney in the semis - I was almost on to something big

[Longhorn]

only if JMU is ranked #5 ....

Makes sense. Dukes definitely played NDSU much tougher than either Lehigh or GSU.

[kdinva]

I'd probably put Stony Brook between 10-12.....

[danefan]

I wouldn't question that, but where do you put Albany then....if anywhere?

[Engineer86]

Top 20

[Seawolf97]

I'd probably put Stony Brook between 10-12.....

Considering we were not even in the conversation this time last year, 10-12 is very reasonable. We lose Brock Jackolski and Matt Brevi due to graduation but return just about everyone else . We have some pretty good red shirts coming up and who knows who else in this years recruiting class. Dont overlook Javar Cruz at running back teaming up with Maysonet. Cruz is another Hanson Award Winner who saw limited playing time this year but had 6 TD's as a back up.

In my opinion its irrelevant Stony Brook Football is going placesxbowx

xconfusedx What about Youngstown? We beat the potential 2011-12 National Champ at their house xbawlingx

[bojeta]

I understand the temptation to start all the "what ifs", but if we go down that road and say Sam Houston beats NDSU by more than 3 points, do we call Montana the "runner up"? It's difficult enough to make sense out of the many dynamics involved in team by team match-ups during the regular season.
