The only thing I can agree w/ballnut on is yes, they are a slow starting team.

I too am wondering why Franklin is being overlooked in the voting. In 2004 they beat a good Milliken team by 23 pts., last year they knock off Wilmington. They also beat Kenyon and lost to Albion by 6 pts., then they take Hope college to the wire this year losing by 2 pts. In the 2003-2004 season they were rated 2nd in the region. They haven't even been acknowledged in the region rankings last year or this year when the team is virtually the same as the 2003-04 team. They have definitely shown they can play with the "big boys" but are getting no recognition. Your thoughts?
