How are we ranked ahead of Villanova in this poll? xoopsx

I would guess the same way Elon is ranked ahead of you...:o

[Reign of Terrier]

I wonder who voted Wofford #1.

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

Elon at least is 2 wins better than us ... so if the SID was simply looking at leagues and records, they might put them ahead of!

There is no justification to Villanova ahead of us.

Probably not Mickey Matthews... xwhistlex

I could buy that if they were far away in the polls. I know the ranking is a compilation, but if I were to say "I have Richmond, Elon and Villanova in the 7-9 range, how would I rank them?" I would look at the head to head between the three to do so.

Prrrrrobably not.

Yeah I thought it would be Dennis Wagner. He might of saw something special. Or it could be Lembo trying to pump us up to motivate his players.

Umm I am pretty sure, reading the whole thread, that he meant "us in front of Villanova"

[asucrutch23]

How are we ranked ahead of Villanova in this poll? xoopsx

I think he meant no reason we should be ahead of 'Nova. xpeacex

[asucrutch23]

Beat me to it!

[jlcharles]

So he did. Too many people have the same avatar. I didn't realize that was the same person at first.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Us being ranked 4th is probably a little bit too high.

NDSU still being ranked is a little bit of a joke...

Yeah, no need to get your panties in a wad. Mis-key by me. Note my initial post on this thread. You think I changed my mind in 3 minutes?

shhhh...anything to help us get a seed. ;)

[joecooll6]

Were a bit over rated.

That was hardly getting my panties in a wad. You typo had me confused and I didn't realize you posted earlier.

[BisonCM]

No way should NDSU be ranked.

[Big Al]

How the F is Montana ranked ahead of Weber State?

If this week is a representative sample, then this poll is a joke. I don't, for the life of me, understand how App State, Montana, or UNI can be ranked so highly. NDSU doesn't belong on there at all.

[Anovafan]

They should disband the Coaches Poll, it is useless in FCS. Let them go pay attention to their football teams and not polls, which it seems they are doing anyway.

I'll assume your logic is that Weber beat the Griz but i didn't see you add Cal Poly in the mix of over rated teams. I don't think this is a great poll by any means but I don't think your logic is either. Weber wasn't on anybody's radar except the BSC foes until they beat the Griz and you can't expect them to just leap everybody in the field or have MT drop 20 spots for a loss. You keep winning and you rise up. These polls would be even more worthless if they just knee jerked this thing each week.
