Bombers still getting no love. Haters. All of you.

They are on my radar in the 11-13 range right now.  Been an odd first 2 weeks though, and they haven't played anyone 'familiar' yet.  If/how they beat Union will make things a little clearer.

This is the first time I recall Brockport in the fan poll. This can't be anything but a jinx  . The next 3 are tough, vs. TCNJ, @ Kean, and @Rowan.

They have great burritos.  I give them love whenever I'm in Shocktown and Smallbany.

Haha, I know. As I was last week, that was sarcasm

Where do you go for your Ithaca burritos? Viva? That place is awesome

I don't eat burritos in Ithaca.  I'm only there to call games, and I don't want to create gastrointestinal problems while I'm in their press box since things are a bit tight.  I'll begin my colon cleanse tonight as a courtesy.

Well, we all appreciate that. Best of luck on Saturday!

Thank you, and God Bless Us, Everyone.  :-)

Don't agree with Fisher getting first place votes over SU. 

Until someone not named Wesley or UWW beats SU, they are the #1 team in the east.

I 100% agree here.  It's tough for some pollsters to put a #1 team with a 1-1 record though is likely the case.  I know it had me think twice, then I smacked myself in the face.

I agree there. I watched a lot of the Fisher game before the video feed went down, and honestly came away unimpressed with Fisher's performance. They made enough plays to win, and W&J is a tough, tough road game, but they were dreadful in the first half. Credit to them and the coaching staff for gutting out a tough win, but I think Salisbury was more impressive in a loss to a better team

I'll disagree:

9th St. John Fisher
...
11th Salisbury

That was my national ballot.  Salisbury did not play a strong game against Wesley, in my honest opinion.  Offensively they turned the ball over four times and couldn't convert their two interceptions into much (granted, the second was with 0:08 left in the 1st half).  I just thought they would put up a better effort in that game -- and I kind of came away feeling blah about them.  Now, granted, SJF did not look strong to me in the W&J game.  However, they found a way to win.  My feeling is that if SJF and Salisbury are still in that relative position later in the season on my ballot, the H2H game between them will sort out the issue.  I think currently that SJF could beat Salisbury.  I think Wesley is susceptible this year to a loss and might be a slight bit weaker than last year (the UMHB game will tell us a lot, and might give me fodder to re-invert Salisbury over SJF) -- but time will tell.  That's why I'm not just giving Salisbury a complete pass on the loss on Saturday as of right now.

[SJFF82]

Salisbury has dominated SJF for 2 years now, or maybe even 3?  That has to be reflected until either SJF beats them H2H or Salisbury has a loss to mediocre or less team.  But how is Widener 2 in a poll?
