W&M and WCU should be like 10th and 13th....IMO

The "coaches" rarely get it right. At least there are only two teams receiving votes this week that weren't in the AGS top 40.

[UAalum72]

Fordham is 15th and Albany doesn’t get a single vote?

[MSUBobcat]

Well THIS is starting to look more like the "Coaches" Poll. Oof. W&M at 4 is way too high. IMO.xcoffeex Sac falls 5 spots for what was essentially a last second loss on the road to a highly ranked Idaho team (for those that missed it, Idaho kicked a go-ahead FG with 1 second left and then got a scoop-and-score when Sac tried some trickeration on the ensuing kickoff). Weber @ 14 is too high, but I'll let people say we thumped a top-15 team 40-0 on their field. NCCU seems high given their competition. Fordham at 15 with Albany getting bupkis. Griz @ 16... Davis 5 spots ahead of the team that beat them in Davis. Western Carolina at just 21 seems almost criminal at this point, but at least they included them this week.

In the ORV, UNI gets love for beating BYE after thumping "powerhouse" Idaho State and Richmond getting some mileage out of a 1pt road win at winless Stony Brook (or was it the blowout of DSU, who is winless including a 2 score loss to D-II Bowie State). UT-M should be getting more votes, IMO. AND WHERE IS ALBANY?!?! Not one vote?!?! They stomped your #15, beat the team (Morgan State) that beat the team is getting votes (Richmond) and has respectable losses to FBS Marshall and Hawaii. Dafuq!

It's been well discussed in the last 2 days that after 15 or so got tough to sort out, but it appears they may have taken teams 15-50, stirred 'em up and picked 'em at random.

[The Cats]

W&M is way too high, but at least the coaches finally realized WCU is playing football this year...
