East Region Fan Poll

[D3MAFAN]

I just put my pole in, and I have to tell ya, what a cluster #%*!.  The MAC is a complete S-show. I'm putting teams in the top 10 from that conference that ive never voted for in all my years doing this. Ithaca impressed yesterday for sure, but what does that do to Hobart?  Not much I don't think, but enough to make you wonder. Cortland...no idea with them. Do they even have a defense?  Do they need a defense?  I will say, Husson didn't crack my top 10 this week. WPI moved up to like 16 on my board. But we've seen this before from them so I'm not holding my breath. This season is wack so far. Interested to see the cumulative vote.

"The MAC is a complete S-show". Oh, ye LewDogg knows so very, very little about the essence of competitive balance within a conference. Give me a conference where six or seven teams have a shot......where every game means something......vs. a conference where teams are always playing for second place behind Mount Youngstown State Union, University of Wisconsin ww, Johns Hopkins and this year, Wesley. I'll take close games in a conference where the differences between 1 and 5/6 are miniscule vs. #1 being light years ahead, and a couple of teams "battling" for runner up.

As you were

Woa woah woah, step back from the ledge.  Take a few deep breaths.  Nowhere did I say the MAC stinks.  I said it's a sh##show.  Which it is.  Stevenson and Albright at the moment are undefeated both with 2 nice wins.  And then your usual suspects, DelVal, Lyco, and Widener haven't started great and might not be up to par.  I don't think many people on these boards(outside of the MAC) are familiar with Stevenson or Albright, so things are in disarray.  It's great for the conference I guess.  It doesn't mean the conference stinks.  Let's now remove our small girl panties and step into our magic undies.  It's all going to be ok.

As I was...

The SEC is a ****e show this year.  As it is every year.

As you were.

Yes!!!! +K

No Husson and WPI this week?  What up with that?  What up with that?


Kaz, you got a screwup there with the same voter have both Utica and Buff St at 9.

[bman]

Not sure I understand the Albright/Stevenson juxtaposition based on Quality of Wins, but otherwise, barring upsets I think the ranking is pretty accurate.

Fixed.  Lousy fat fingers...

Gosh, Kaz posted this mid-morning today and there's been no comments?

I'll bite...WNEC and Framingham would likely both lose to Christopher Newport, RPI, Delaware Valley, and St. Lawrence. And probably Utica and Rochacha too. There. I said it.

I agree. They are the top of the New England teams for sure(and probably not even close) and they can certainly compete. I just can't justify them in my top 10 until the beat someone. Unfortunately Union and Springfield don't count as they aren't cracking anyone's top 20's in the East.

BTW, if anyone wants to barf a little, go scroll through a few NESCAC pages.  Don't read them obviously, just scroll through. The most verbose ridiculous posting I can ever remember. Book after book after book, and the first line of many responses are like 'Great Post!'  Oy Vay. Different crowd over there!

[D3pc]

I actually checked into a few games as a try to do each saturday. I was interested in the wesleyan-middlebury game for obvious reasons...both expected to be at the top, middlebury's qb situation, etc. Not going to lie, i was expecting a lot more. Yes, it was the first game of the season which can be a mess, but both teams did not look like they had the size or fire-power to take on top teams of the E8, NJAC, LL. This is not a new discussion, but i was not impressed. Great broadcast though.

[bman]

I didn't really have anything to add.  I too was a bit surprised to see WNE there and other than flipping Salisbury and Brockport I was down the line in agreement with everyone else...until some monkey wrenches get thrown in...I think it's settled in at this point...

I have been tempted to post over there periodically, however I would be viewed as a cretin invading their board, so I hold my tongue...and god forbid a I might make a grammatical error..
