East Region Fan Poll

[union89]

I'll own up....I'm the guy in the #2 spot.....the only real thing I struggled with was leaving Hobart as the #11 team.  I think they are 3rd best in the LL and are just on the outside looking in.  That being said, Union opens up with Springfield....that game will give us a great early indication of how the East might shake out.

BTW, whoever had Delaware Valley at #2, also had Rowan at #8....we need to question this persons intentions......

I don't understand how people can bitch.  Maybe U89 is trying for his end of the season poll in the preseason, as opposed to the typical, 'how did they finish last year'...Secretly, U89 could be a genius...or a donkey.  It's a preseason poll, so who can say?

And all the Rochester stuff...Well, this DOES have to do with last year, but they weren't anywhere near my poll,(maybe 12-13) strictly because, although they got 3rd in the LL last year, they lost to Alfred in the ECAC.  RPI beat Cortland.  I honestly felt Cortland might hand it to RPI, but they didn't get it done and RPI finished on a good note.  That also affected my Cortland vote.  ROchester had a chance to finally make a statement and they dropped the ball.  And let's face it, Rochester has had moments of potential brilliance in the past, and then haven't followed up, so until they can win consistently, how is there any faith in them?

Was wondering what all this meant.....now I realize LD posted it at 4am.....the reading comprehension decreases vastly following the 6th car bomb....

Well with the activity this week, it should be an interesting poll for this week... 

Remember, get the polls in before Monday at 8 so I can put together the poll that night.

Should be interesting!

I can't wait to see this one.

I'm interested to see how far Rowan drops, given their shaky start.

I wouldn't drop Rowan too far.  It was a close loss to a strong program, on the road.  In fact, I might not drop them at all.  The team which has to get body slammed is Wilkes. 

I'm also curious as to why so many were sleeping on Kean.  1 point?  Equal to Bridgewater State?  No way.  They would beat Bridgewater State by 28 minimum.

I agree with this.  However, some of the polls I have gotten so far do not agree with this. at least when it comes to Rowan.

I will be straight out I did drop rowan but not because of the score that they lost by I dropped them because there qb looked horrible and I don't think that they are as good as I originally put them... Kean I was not aware of before because when you look at the previous seasons results they were not there...

[pg04]

And because Kickoff had not been released when we did the pre-season poll.   

[pg04]

5 of 10 polls are in, 5 more to go.  Reminder that if polls are not in by 8, then they will not be included and I will take the ones that are in. 

Looks interesting so far with the 5 I have.

Also remember that though the polls are due at 8, they will not be released at exactly then, probably by 9PM.

For me Rowan dropped mostly because I was not going to drop teams that did not play yet.  A couple of teams moved up while idle, Kean moved up a couple of spots and Wilkes dropped to ten and Del Val fell out while Ithaca moved in.  I felt that Wilkes loss to Willy P was more impressive than Del Vals to Iona.  I think WPU is better than most think this season.

[superman57]

for me Wilkes completly dropped out and hobart was dropped simply because they did not play yet and I had to make room for Willy P and Kean... I did not really drop Del Val. because they lost to a D1aa team or FCS team and I have a hard time dropping them for losing a close game to a team out of the division... This  upcoming week should be very intresting because Springfield could make their case for number 1 votes and Union could make their case to be in the top 10 with a victory.... other than that I know Fisher and Ithaca need to be on upset watch

[pg04]

U89, Realistic, and Budcrew still need to put in their polls, but the polls I have so far are pretty interesting

[Knightstalker]

Iona is a MAAC team, the MAAC in football may be a step below the NJAC in quality and strength.  Decent basketball conference but very weak in football in my opinion.

Knightstalker... I would say even though they may suck in terms of FCS they still have scholarships which in anycase to me would be reason enough to hold off on judging delaware valley till they play a diii team

Actually, they don't have scholarships.
