Why RPI out?  Because Sasquatch beat Rochacha?

Where's your Kean (who didn't really beat Cortland St., and who really really didn't  beat Trenton St. TCNJ)?

Did anyone else notice that FDU-Florham gave Delaware Valley a good fight for a half?

I've said it before, but Albright is scary.   Really scary.

As an independent observer :

#1   Alfred
#2   Kean
#3   Rowan
#4   Albright
#5   Del Val
#6   Union
#7   Fisher
#8   TCNJ
#9   Leb Val
Then it's anyones guess.

RPI's out because the LL is a mess right now and Union has the better resume with wins over IC and Hobart (in other words, didn't lose to UR)...

Kean I have at #5...

Also I have Rowan at #2...

[Knightstalker]

This is actually starting to sort out in some bizarre way.

LL is indeed a mess right now.

But look at the last 3 weeks of the NJAC season for Kean, Rowan, Montclair St., and Trenton St. TCNJ:

Oct. 31
      
     1:00 PM    New Jersey       Cortland State          
     1:00 PM    Rowan       Kean          
    6:00 PM    Western Connecticut       Montclair State                

Nov. 7

     12:00 PM    Western Connecticut       New Jersey          
     1:00 PM    Kean       William Paterson          
     1:00 PM    Montclair State       Rowan          

Nov. 14    
               
     1:00 PM    Kean       Montclair State                
     1:00 PM    New Jersey       Rowan

I'd forgotten how the entire NJAC can be like a bunch of crazy Russians in the Pine Barrens (~1:30+).

FDU-Florham has a really good quarterback (Bill Winters) about whom we'll have more later this week.  He kept FDU close against Alfred, too, but the Aggies defense shut the Devils down in the fourth quarter while the offense rolled along.

I totally get what you're saying, but are you suggesting I base my ballot on what is likely to happen the last three weeks of the year?

I said the LL is a mess, I didn't say that the LL is going to end up a mess...

RPI was @ #10 last week for me due to the UR loss.  Union was just on the outside looking in for me, with a solid win over Hobart they leapfrogged RPI...

No, I was not suggesting anything about your ballot when I mentioned the impending multi-car pileup in the NJAC.  I was merely using the literary technique known as foreshadowing.

I'm actually looking forward to the impending bloodbaths in pretty much all East Region leagues--the NJAC, MAC, and E8 especially.  The LL could continue to be messy, but it could also fizzle.

Are we sure that the Union win over Hobart was solid?  I'm still waiting for Frank the Tank to give us his perspective on the role that the officiating played in that game.

As an independent observer :

#1   Alfred
#2   Kean
#3   Rowan
#4   Albright
#5   Del Val
#6   Union
#7   Fisher
#8   TCNJ
#9   Leb Val
Then it's anyones guess.

I know nobody is saying it cuz they dont want to be 'that' guy, but I have always been that guy so here goes...Alfred is not the Number 1 team in the east.  For poll purposes fine...they are undefeated and seem to be the 'easy' popular choice.  Fact is...they have never lived up to their billing in the past, so why now as a No. 1 will they?  So far they have taken care of their business but have not been really tested.  I dont know much about Albright, but I say AU would lose 3 outta 5 to Kean, Del Val and Fisher. 4 outta 5 to Rowan.  Union is the only team within striking distance in this poll they could probably handle regularly.  I have always liked and respected AU...love going to Merrill.

When all is said and done in the East though, AU will be 5-7 in most polls.

Good point, but you left out the rest.  Ithaca has lived up to their billing in the (very distant) past, so Ithaca is the Number 1 team in the East.

If Montclair could come up with some sort of offense we may be in the mix, but the way Giancola and O'conner keep coaching, it will never happen.

Pep and Kaz00 can agree that it's too early to anoint the Saxons as King of the East Region. AU is taking care of business, but AU didn't open with Mount Union or travel to southern Maryland for Salisbury Steak...so Oct. 24 at Growney will be the Saxons' next test.

The only thing Pep would contend in your statement, '82, is that AU, if memory serves Pep correctly, never has had "a billing" to live up to. Pep doesn't recall the Saxons ever being favored to sweep through the E8. The Saxons just have a recent past of hanging around and making things interesting...and perhaps that will be the case again in 2009. Who knows? But win or lose, the ride on the bandwagon has been a blast! Stay tuned.....

On Saxon Warriors!

Good point pep. +k.
