East Region Fan Poll

[dlippiel]

ERFP 3 serious upsets and one crazy upset this week:

Ithaca over SJF (Ithaca and Fisher are trending in opposite directions and the Bombers are motivated for Coach Welch to go out with his head up)

Brockport over Alfred ( I admit I will be rooting for Alfred to go all the way but I think Brockport matches up well)

Rowan over Frostburg ( Rowan defense gets nasty)
    I know you think it's Crazy upset:
Union over SLU ( the Dutchmen will be incredibly up for this game and SLU will lose due to some bad TO's ...and I promised Dlip )

    PS: Bartman is staying away from Wrigley Field this weekend to avoid mistaken identity

There's the Bartman dlip knows and loves! Gusty call dude dlip is down. The Dutch have proven they can be very competitive against some decent competition this season. That methodical possession based run offense can really take over a game (if it's working). The problem dlip see's against the Saints is the Dutchmen's propensity for being so one dimensional. Cascione has not shown the ability to throw the football with any consistency (Gellar as well) and this has hurt Union big time. Against a defense with the talent and athleticism of SLU it could prove to be a long day for the Dutchmen. **** it, Union 17 SLU 10.

be-****ing-leave it

OK, it must be the Bartman(Cubs fan) curse working on my upset picks....so I went 0-4 as Alfred had an exciting comeback against a well prepared Brockport team/ Fisher played very well in the second half against a tough Ithaca squad / Frostburg is for real as Rowan defense was outperformed /and the Dutchmen hung in there but the Saints were too much in the end....no more picks for me

Haha! Pep was a perfect 9-0 in his Week 1 picks.....and hasn't made any predictions since...which means Pep will remain perfect for the 2016 season.

Looks pretty accurate all around....
Minus a vote for B'port.

I get that they have battled well- but they are 5-3 people.

Hell UC is a better bid for a vote!

[Upstate]

Someone putting WNE and Salve at 5 and 7 is trying way too hard to pump up New England area football teams...

[fisheralum91]

Saw that Upstate....
I will say that WNE looks strong...How strong I couldnt tell you.
The only comparison I can grasp is vs Springfield

[D3MAFAN]

Interesting slate of games this upcoming week. I didn't really get to watch full games this week except for Noon starts and the early evening games. I think that our voter got it right. I think their are 3 teams that have impressed me all season and shown that it can play all phases consistently with at least b rating and that's Stevenson, Alfred, and Western New England.  They have shown that they can either run somewhat of a balance offense and play defense when necessary. I have Stevenson and Alfred at 1 and 2, while WNE at 5. I think Husson has played well, but will play their toughest opponent since its opener against Alfred.

As I aforementioned, I have WNE at 5, they have played two LL opponents and played considerably well and they are undefeated. Regarding Salve which is out of the same conference as WNE and the fact they haven't played the OOC schedule like WNE, they however have been man handling its conference foes on the same level. Regarding votes, we have a well spread number of voters throughout the ERFP, so it balances itself out at the end of the day. With teams in the NE now playing each other in a consolation game at the end of the year, its going to make it a bit difficult to tell post season without Head-to-head results. However, for someone who has watch those teams play more than once, I have to give them their credit.

Pep knows that the season's flying by, but this should actually say Week 9 Fan Poll. Oops....AUKaZ00 must be out of sync having missed the AU-Brockport thriller because of an out-of-town wedding. Sheesh....who has the nerve to get married during football season?

[fisheralum91]

Husson.....really?
Husson?
With all do respect they are playing the teams on the schedule but clearly they are not a top ten regional team.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but lets face it folks the ECFC is WEAK!

7 point loss to the second ranked team in the east says that maybe they are a top 10 team.  Pep said they gave Alfred all they could handle in that game.  Do they lose to almost if not all the teams on this list, probably, but they have played Alfred as tough as anyone else has this year.  We will have a common opponent in a few weeks so we can see how they compare.

[fisheralum91]

WD- totally get that.


Running buckshot in a bad conference is one thing.

Agreed on the common opponents.
Game 1's are tough to tell about teams so lets see how the season shakes out.

Fisheralum91,

I completely understand your thoughts, but as you mentioned, you can only play what's on your schedule. I for one believe St. John Fisher has played one hellava schedule and the E 8 to be one of the best conferences in all of DIII. However if we are going to argue about a team ranked 10 that has played my number 2 team just as well as any other opponent has and has beaten all of its other opponents (including two shutouts) without question, then we have a problem. I understand week 1 both teams were figuring things out and you typically figure out which team after the season, but no other result has told me not to say they are Top 10.

[fisheralum91]

D3man- totally understand

what i appreciate as of late is that the ncaa has looked passed record only and sheer numbers and have looked at overall bodies of work.
Have they missed a few- yes- especially in years past- but it seems that they are on the right path
