East Region Fan Poll

[theoriginalupstate]

Alfred is being dogged because the Saxons graduated a kid that accounted for nearly 2000 all-purpose yards in ONE SEASON and another kid that ran for nearly 1300+ yards in 2009.

Heck, the one kid not only led the E6 in receptions (65) but he also caught 5 of the bad guys' passes, also leading the E6 in interceptions!

Arguably Manzer's injury early in the Albright game hurt the Saxon defense perhaps more than it hurt their offense and was a key factor in AU's 35-25 loss.

That's why, understandably, Alfred isn't getting pre-season high marks. And Pep is okay with that.

Agree with Pep here, losing Manzer is a huge blow.  The kid was a stud on Offense, Defense and Special teams...

I personally had them at #4, they still have a stud QB (arguably the best in the region) coming back that will win them games...

So, I have a question for the voters, as I reassess my original Top 25 ballot this weekend:

The order of my teams in the East Region go more along the lines of Del Val, SJF, Alfred, LebVal and Montclair.  My question is: why is Alfred being dogged relatively in the East Region Poll when they seem to be bringing back a fair amount of experience -- and why last year's overall results would allow placing Montclair so high (was the Maine Maritime win that impressive in voters' minds)?  The margin is pretty steep, and I'm shocked that Union, who needs to prove itself I think for one or two games at the least, came in slightly ahead of Alfred.  Any thoughts?

Keep in mind that as a voter I am a Montclair fan. My top (5) in order was Del-Val, Fisher, Cortland, Montclair and Leb Val. I had Ithaca 6th and Alfred 7th and that could easially be reversed. As far as Montclair they made it out of the 1st round and scored more points on MU besides Whitewater and we did give up a ton of points. Alfred did not make it out of the 1st round and as Pep said they lost some big guns on "O". Alfred is a good team and time will tell. This is a lot of fun expressing our opinions and let's see what the next (2) weeks bring. I will be surprised if there will be any movement in the poll from the pre-season, but one never knows.

Who would have thunk that Leb Val would lay an egg. Lucky for them it was out of conference.

Due to the holiday weekend I'll put the week 1 poll out tomorrow afternoon.  Hopefully Pep can still sneak it into the Sun this week, but I suspect many of our pollsters have been predisposed and it will be better to put out a poll with more than half the voters represented.

It's obviously not a Union supporter who put them at #1.
