Here's this weeks poll article: http://thefcswedge.com/ags-poll/ags-...-25-results-2/

A few thoughts:

• JSU falling to #26 snapped their 78 week streak in the AGS top 25. The last time they weren't in the top 25 was week 12 of 2013. They missed the top 25 by a single point. Every vote counts!
• For all the flack the CAA got for underperforming in the playoffs last year they've got 7 teams in the top 25 right now and looks like they'll get at least 5 bids again.
• There was some interesting 2-4 spot movement in the middle of the poll (like Central Arkansas moving up 3 spots on a bye for example) but if you look at the point totals they weren't much different from last week, it's just teams are bunched pretty tightly in that #9-#13 range with only 65 points separating them.
• A couple traditional powers are on the rise as Villanova is at their highest ranking since early 2015 and Montana is at their highest ranking since early 2016.
• NDSU was #1 for the 21st consecutive poll breaking their own record for most consecutive weeks at #1 set from mid-2012 through the end of 2013 (they were #2 briefly in the 2014 preseason poll before reclaiming the top spot in week 1).

Wow yall were rough on Northern Iowa. I didn't get to submit a poll this week. My first miss in a long time.

Oh and another interesting note. The AGS #5 team has lost 3 weeks in a row (Maine in week 2, Towson in week 3, and UNI in week 4). Villanova is at William & Mary this Saturday. Will they break the curse?

People still voting for Jacksonville State need to just give up on voting. There's no excuse. Not one.

Yes. W&M kind of sucks.

I can think of a few excuses. Both of their losses are to teams I have ranked higher than them. They beat EWU who made themselves into a half decent win again I thought after dropping UND. Their dominating win over a decent Chatty team is also impressive.

Not saying I'm proud of still having them in my top 25 but it's justifiable IMO.

EWU is not back. UND turned it over 6 times in the snow and were in it til the very end.
