I would put Montana at #4 (no higher at this point)
I would put Eastern Washington #10 (no higher)
I would put North Dakota State #15 (no higher)
I also think that Idaho State at 3-1 deserves a #25 mention after their defeat of Eastern Washington.;)

[ChickenMan]

I think maybe... everyone in the Top 10 is over-rated... :p

[putter]

I think maybe... everyone in the Top 10 is over-rated... :p

I can't argue with that at all.

[Down with the Foe!]

I think maybe... everyone in the Top 10 is over-rated... :p

If that statement is true....who in the next 20 teams is better than the Top 10? not too many.

[Umass74]

Maybe no Super teams this year?

Just about any team you point to has some problems. Perhaps some of the traditionally strong teams will improve as the season goes on.

I have always thought that late season results were judged higher than early victories/losses for playoff spots.

Anyone agree?

I agree. Especially this year. This is my first year ranking, and it is a very difficult task at this point.

[OL FU]

Let's leave the top ten blank and rate 11 thru 35.

MSU doesn't even move? After beating a top 10 team they should move up.

east coast bias... :p

[LEHIGH61]

They should stay about #6. At least 3 of their SEVEN HOME GAMES ARE OVER!!!) What a Joke!

[biobengal]

Catfan22, as an ISU fan I'm afraid you won't be getting any sympathy from bengal fans for your unfortunate circumstances. Being 2-2 and number 20, boo hoo.

More Lehigh squawking... it would be better served if you had directed at LU's lousy performance vs VMI... rather than UD's schedule... :nod:

I guess we will see next week.

[SochorField]

I think North Dakota State is underrated here. Glad to see the Aggies in the top 25 after starting 0-2....we are so close to being 4-0 its not even funny, here's to finishing the season undefeated!
Go Ags

[bluehenbillk]

I dropped LU 2 spots after an embarrassing win against lowly VMI. That UD loss must have hurt them more than I thought.

Not bad,SunCoastBlue Hen.I would drop UNH,Harvard,and ASU a tad,and place UC-Davis and Georgia So.higher.I also think Illinois St. deserves a spot in the polls,maybe as high as #20.They have a big one at YSU next time around and that will shed some light on how good they really are.

[Engineer91]

In my opinion, these teams are ranked too high.

I think Harvard is fine at 14, but agree that the others are too high. Delaware around 10 and Lehigh around 32.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I think Harvard is fine at 14, but agree that the others are too high. Delaware around 10 and Lehigh around 32.

I still believe Lehigh's a top 15 team on talent alone. With that said, does anyone know the last time there was no PL team ranked in the TSN 25 poll? Early 2000 maybe?

[89Hen]

Wow, thank God you guys aren't in the AGS poll! :eek:



Just kidding, they all look pretty good to me. :nod:

[AZGrizFan]

Wow, thank God you guys aren't in the AGS poll! :eek:



That's ALLLL I need. Another blow to my already fragile mental state... :nod:

[catbob]

Well see what the final poll looks like when it is compiled and see how far off we are... or how dead on we are. :D

[Tod]

If that statement is true....who in the next 20 teams is better than the Top 10? not too many.

I'm not saying I ranked them here, but:

WCU (looking good but one game canceled, hard to tell for sure, but they may be top five)
TxSt.
McNeese (ditto, but TWO games canceled)
PSU
NDSU
UCD
ISU (my pick for the Big Sky darkhorse (before they beat EWU))
Ill.St.
...others...

I would not be a bit surprised to see many of these teams in the top 10 in a few weeks, maybe sooner. I'm going to feel stupid when I end up putting WCU in my top 25 at #8 or something :o :o :o

Free pass this time, my friend, but don't leave yourself quite so open again (especially in the Lounge)... ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D

Yeah, I know. I thought about that as I was hitting the "submit reply" button. You know, though, trying to educate you left leaners can get pretty dang tiring at times. :D :D ..I was going to call it a fragil psyche, but couldn't figure out how to spell it. ;)

That's why I have dictionary.com readily available. I'm not kidding, either. :o

You mean, 3 of 9 home games :D


Get over your loss and our favorable scheduling, but I agree, Delaware SHOULD NOT be a top 5 team. Only top ten by default really.

[AZGrizFan]

At the end of the day today, or tomorrow morning, I will compile all of the top 25 polls that are submitted and post a cumulative top 25.

HenHouse1--Where's the results? I've been waiting with baited breath for the results of us "unqualified" ;) ;) voters to see how we stack up against the I-AA gurus who vote in the "Official" AGS Poll!!! :D :D
