East Region Fan Poll

[lewdogg11]

Here is my poll.  I know i'll get a hard time from the Fisher people, but I had a hard time not throwing Brockport and Buff St up higher this week.  This isn't a slight of Fisher as much as I feel I maybe(i'm sure everyone has) underestimated the other 2.  Fisher has been higher since earlier based on their success last year.  But as of right now, and this could change in a week, I think the body of work of Brockport and Buff St. belongs to be higher and the Fisher win this week didn't make me feel differently.  The Thomas More win looked good early, but isn't as impressive right now.  Hobart is in a similar boat except they've perform as i've expected each week so far.  And if it makes anyone feel better I even dropped RPI because they almost embarrassed the program this week.  They had a 35-28 lead in the 4th quarter against a team Endicott beat by 52 last week.  The Final score made it look a little better but it shouldn't have been that close. 

Interesting season so far.  It appears that there are some beasts in the East.  Look out for Rowan too.  Last year's cross regional tournament and some cross-regional matchups this year have proven people's thoughts of the East quite differently me thinks. As we've thought, the East just beats up on each other all year, most teams have 1 or 2 losses in the playoffs and no respect is given.  Not any more.

I don't see why anyone can really put up much of a gripe with knocking SJF down in the polls.  They haven't been impressive at all, they've made plays to win the game when it counts but good teams don't put themselves in that position three weeks in a row. 

Yes I know all 3 teams are undefeated outside of the SJF game but SJF did NOT look good in any of the games to date.

[rams1102]

I agree with Upstate. The Poll looks respectable. I had Lycoming #10 and Cortland out. I had Fisher #2 and Hobart #3. The Fisher win over Thomas Moore was my deciding factor, but who cares 2 or 3 vs 3 & 2. By the end if the first week of October all things should shake our. Montclair should be undefeated in the NJAC by then. Only Kidding.

Yeah, play that Rodney Dangerfield card, Bombers....apparently AU dropped that card some time ago and IC picked it up.

Turn up your sarcasm receiver there, Pep. As I think my previous posts indicate, I'm making a joke on things I hear from people.

True story: On the ICTV broadcast this week, it was declared that Neumann had "arrived" and that all the "haters" who criticized him last year needed to take note.

I love the great, great work that the ICTV/Radio kids do, and I know they're just college kids, and going live on the air is hard (I did it for 4 years myself, so I know) but that statement kind of irked me. I'm not sure a good 5 minutes + OT makes up for 55 minutes of zero points for the offense, especially when two of the touchdown drives totaled a combined 29 yards. But I'm also not sure that people who pointed out that Neumann struggled last season are "haters". Accurately pointing out a truth, regardless of if that truth is unpleasant, is not "hating". I'm the first to admit, I am crazy cynical, but last I checked, Moravian and Union weren't exactly having banner years, and some IC people are eye-rollingly praising this team. So I'm just picking up the theme here. My comments on the E8 board are more accurate indicators of my feelings. It's still a deeply flawed team. 4-6 seems about right

Bombers... I'd suggest listening to my commentary concerning the game that followed "Around the League" on ITH Sunday (http://inthehuddlle.com -- select the 9/16/12 show).  I saw your question in the E8PP and I gave a decently long soapbox discussion about Union and Ithaca during that (around the 0:25 mark).  It sounds like you and I have the same overall assessment right now.

Anyone who uses the term "haters" in today's society should be castrated to prevent reproduction...

Oh upstate, stop spewing that haterade.

Since I knew Salisbury was going to have a bye week this upcoming week. I was really looking forward to the Salve vs. Endicott matchup, I really thought it was going to be a Key Matchup. The winner of this game would have benefited much more if they both were undefeated. However, I still might tune in and watch this Northeast showcase. Nevertheless, Albright v. Lycoming is definitely a game to watch. These teams could be '10 Albright and '03 Lycoming.

Pep knows the sarcasm card ALWAYS trumps the Rodney Dangerfield card! Pep plays pinochle...

There aren't that many teams that are going to "look good" when they play Thomas More and W&J - those are rock solid programs.

Typically if you're going to have something special happen you have to be able to show you can win late and win ugly. SJF certainly filled their quota for 2012.  Obviously all griping will be put to rest now that the E8 season has begun -- this week, they play yet another undefeated team in 'Wick, then the week after is Salisbury.  Obviously, if Salisbury runs them into the ground like last year - we'll know the ranking was generous.  If however, if Buff State or SJF end up beating Salisbury, by landslide or by the slimmest of margins -- I think the gripes will be justified for the higher rankings.
