What do you think the top 10 is going to look like this week?

Here is the preseason top 10:

1. Richmond (59), 2338
2. Appalachian State (20), 2292
3. Montana (5), 2154
4. Villanova (11), 2152
5. Northern Iowa (2), 2011
6. James Madison (1), 1746
7. Southern Illinois, 1703
8. New Hampshire, 1695
9. Weber State, 1692
10. Elon, 1398


Here is how I expect it to look this week:

1. Richmond
2. Appalachian State
3. Villanova
4. Northern Iowa
5. Montana
6. James Madison
7. Southern Illinois
8. William & Mary
9. New Hampshire
10. Weber State or Elon

I think Montana is probably going to be #3 but should drop behind Villanova and UNI for their great performances against FBS teams. What do you guys think?

[blueballs]

Richmond #1 no doubt, then Villanova, UNI, Montana, and App.

Looks good to me.

UNI was mighty impressive and nearly became only the second MVC team to beat a Big 10 opponent. They gotta be in the top 3.

I have Montana #9 this week. Once I see them against a good FCS team I will definitely move them way up. I base the first couple weeks solely on who you beat, how well you played, etc. and don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt early on. Because of that I had Montana behind W&M, JMU, Weber State, SIU, and the other usual suspects. I give much more credit to a FCS team who beat a ranked FCS team or beat or played close with a FBS team than one who beat up on a D2 or a low end FCS team.

Agreed. I have full confidence in Montana's ultimate performance this season, but as far as the poll voting goes, I have to give credit to the teams in the arena. UNI really got my attention against Iowa this past weekend!

Yup!

Why is Nova beating Temple impressive?

[Seawolf97]

William & Mary maybe a little higher. They knocked off Virginia in convincing fashion.
