[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Based on this weeks results i don't see Lehigh dropping very far. They certainly shouldn't be too far behind UNH.

[umassfan]

Question... why isnt UMass in this poll at all?

[superman7515]

Just my opinion... They fall behind Montana, but in front of the falling Jacksonville State (7 point loss to #14 > 21 point loss to #22), so probably not a lot of movement. How far does #1 EWU fall after losing to unranked South Dakota (Not SDSU for those voting). Villanova gives up the ghost and doesn't make the Top 25. If Sac State stays in due to their FBS win, Southern Utah has to be higher... Still plenty of early season shuffling.

[superman7515]

Question... why isnt UMass in this poll at all?

UMass is transitioning to FBS and is not eligible for the FCS playoffs, is not eligible for the CAA regular season championship, and will finish with a league record of 0-0.

[JMUNJ08]

21-24 all new this week. Still so early and hard to vote on who is real or just pretending...

[umassfan]

UMass is transitioning to FBS and is not eligible for the FCS playoffs, is not eligible for the CAA regular season championship, and will finish with a league record of 0-0.

But are still eligible for rankings and post season awards. UMass has no additional players this season and are playing a full FCS schedule. They are in the Sports Network poll.

[DJKyR0]

I'll try my darndest not to forget UNH again this week. Sorry, 'Cats fans. xlovex

[Twentysix]

Is UTSA transitioning into the WAC? Cause mcflurry state beat em :D

Using transitive theory, SFA would beat UTSA 112-6 (all 2pt conversions) and UNI would beat them 120-0 :P.

[DJKyR0]

Gonna be interesting to see how the polls shake out with the EWU loss. I moved them down to 8.

Entering my poll were Old Dominion, Towson, Southern Utah, Indiana St., and South Dakota 21-25.

[Twentysix]

So far I have decided EWU dropped 6 spots just out of my top 10. NDSU dropped 1 spot, UNI hopped over them, GSU stays #1. USD makes an appearance above #25, and SDSU is #25 (I believe I had SDSU at 19 last week, without looking).

Im gonna do my poll tommorow.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I don't see too much change in my Top 25. Colgate is long gone but besides that i like what i see. I had Central Conn St. #25 and will keep them there.

I think the top 20 overall doesn't change much. The last 5 spots are basically a revolving door.

[Twentysix]

I had lehigh in my top 10. Saddly you gotta take a step backwards, but not too far.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I had lehigh in my top 10. Saddly you gotta take a step backwards, but not too far.

Bias aside i had Lehigh #14 and will drop them one or two spots. Nothing i saw from this weekend suggests they should take much of a hit.

They have another chance in two weeks to make a statement when Liberty comes calling.

I'd have Lehigh in the 15-20 range and UNH at 20-25.

[PantherRob82]

I'd have Lehigh in the 15-20 range and UNH at 20-25.

Even though UNH just won AT Lehigh? xconfusedx Toledo almost beat Ohio St yesterday, so UNH getting run by them doesn't seem like it should really come into play.

[bjtheflamesfan]

But are still eligible for rankings and post season awards. UMass has no additional players this season and are playing a full FCS schedule. They are in the Sports Network poll.

Well pardon my being terse but the folks making the AGS poll decided that because they are transitioning to FBS that they should not be eligible for the AGS poll

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Well pardon my being terse but the folks making the AGS poll decided that because they are transitioning to FBS that they should not be eligible for the AGS poll
Basically I think it was a pretty well discussed topic the Poll Committee as to what should be done and in the end they decided to defer to the CAA and NCAA route on the matter. If the CAA & NCAA think that UMass has some advantage that keeps them from winning or even playing for championships then we can abikde by that in the AGS Poll as well.

[redspider]

Old Dominion continues to impress me and I move them further up my poll, hopefully they show up in the polls this week. EWU drops because of the loss and Chattanooga moves in along with South Dakota because of two BIG wins.

Here is my poll:


1: Georgia Southern Eagles
2: Northern Iowa Panthers
3: Wofford Terriers
4: William & Mary Tribe
5: Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens
6: Appalachian State Mountaineers
7: North Dakota State Bison
8: Montana Grizzlies
9: Eastern Washington Eagles
10: Richmond Spiders
11: New Hampshire Wildcats
12: Southern Illinois Salukis
13: Montana State Bobcats
14: James Madison Dukes
15: Liberty Flames
16: Central Arkansas Bears
17: Chattanooga Mocs
18: Old Dominion Monarchs
19: Lehigh Mountain Hawks
20: South Dakota Coyotes
21: Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks
22: Jacksonville State Gamecocks
23: South Carolina State Bulldogs
24: Eastern Kentucky Colonels
25: Southern Utah Thunderbirds

Good point, but still they've given up almost 100 points in two games and are lucky to be 1-1.

Are you on drugs?

ODU at 18 should be grounds to remove your voting rights. This is absurd, I oly hope a ballot like this is diluted by dozens of others that look at more than confernce affiliation and attendence when ranking teams.

I'll say this...ODU is more deserving for top 25 consideration than Sacramento State was last week and South Dakota this week. Not trying to take away from what they have done, but it was way premature to have Sac. State in the top 10 last week and ditto for South Dakota for this week.

Why?

Sac State beat a FBS team in week 1 and South Dakota beat the #1 FCS team this week. I'm not suggesting either Sac State or USD should be a top-10 team, but that are deserving of being in the ranked between 15-25

ODU has a win vs a non-scholly team that is horrible, and a 2nd year FCS startup that happens to play in an NFL stadium. ODU is doing it with window dressing right now. When they play Delaware in week 4, then we'll see how far they have come. ODU is a top 50 team right now, not a top-25 team.

Fella's...in the past I don't think that you were supposed to post your poll vote prior to the overall poll was put out. I think that remains in effect but will know for sure tomorrow morning and I can update if this is different.

For now though, please refrain from posting your individual ballots until I can get the feedback from the poll committee members.

I'm hoping UCA's loss to Louisiana Tech doesn't hurt our position in the polls. It was a good game and hard fought against an FBS team for a team that is only in it's second year in the FCS full status. xprayx xlolx

UCA shouldn't drop a spot. If nothing else, UCA should get more credit for playing that game tight than a school beating a nobody.

[JackPro]

How can SUU be rated higher than SDSU? Yes SUU beat Sac St. this week but must we forget SUU lost to SDSU last week? I know SDSU lost a FBS game this week but how much should that hurt them????

[Tribe93]

Towson is the biggest surprise of the season so far. I don't care what teams have done in the past.

ODU has played well but we'll know more about them when they play UD at the Tub. If they beat UD, they'll solidify a remarkable season regardless of their final record.

All of this = the CAA is about as even as I can remember.

[FargoBison]

How can SUU be rated higher than SDSU? Yes SUU beat Sac St. this week but must we forget SUU lost to SDSU last week? I know SDSU lost a FBS game this week but how much should that hurt them????

Well they all aren't going to be in my top 25 so something had to give and SDSU basically didn't even show up to play this weekend.

[PantherRob82]

I think I have SUU higher. They lost by one point AT SDSU. Couple that with SUU's win, and SDSU not even making the trip, and I think that gives SUU a better resume at this point. These are the Top 25 after two weeks, SUU and SDSU might jump each other all season depending on who wins and loses.

Old Dominion and Towson not worthy at this point IMO. Villanova is VERY young this year. They lost a lot more than Sczur.
As the season moves on, the Towson win over VU will look less and less impressive. Nova should not be ranked.
Old Dominion has not played anyone of note yet - jury still out.
I think the CAA in general is down this year. Delaware did not look that impressive over Div II West Chester either.
But look out for URI and Maine. They could turn some heads this year.

[clenz]

For those that have issues with SUU being ranked compared to Sac State...or whatever....do you have the same issue with USD being barely ranked but EWU stll a top 10 team?

[PantherRob82]

This is why I don't like the practice of sliding teams up and down. EWU could end up 0-3 and still be ranked because people just slid them down a few slots every time they lose.

Villanova was still ranked after Temple killed them. Now people want to rank Towson for beating a "ranked" team, when in reality, Towson is probably not a Top 25 team, just better than Nova.

...or it could be because folks still think Eastern Washington is a good team.

[PantherRob82]

...or it could be because folks still think Eastern Washington is a good team.

Depends on how things go down. A close loss at Montana, with USD and UW making decent showings, I could see.

If Montana wins by >7, I might have a hard time keeping them in. I plan on watching the game, so I guess that should help me gauge EWU.

I agree that ODU shouldn't be in the same discussion at this time. With your posts in several threads I'm just curious about why the obsession with the Monarchs?

[citdog]

look at more than confernce affiliation and attendence when ranking teams.

Conference affiliation yes. Attendance NO. It's still WAY early and the wheat will be separated from the chaff soon enough.
