Quick question.

Husson is the overwhelming favorite, atleast in my opinion to win the new ECFC conference. I believe they are going to run the table in the conference with the only threats to them being Mount Ida, Norwich, or maybe Becker.

Does this warrant them, or any team in this division, consideration into the poll at any point this year?

SJF beat them last year with their back up QB in snowy conditions, but the game was closer then most NEFC teams would have played SJF. Their teams did play decent in non conference games.

Mount Ida beat Plymouth ST
Becker beat Maine Maritime (Bogan Champs with almost whole team returning this year) and Utica
Husson beat Utica, Springfield, Norwich and the two mention teams above

On another note, I saw some mention as Plymouth St as a team with potential to crack the top ten, but some teams from the NEFC who you should consider before Plymouth are

1. Maine Maritime - return almost everyone except a few losses on the DLine but all other major players. Could run the table in the Bogan.
2. Bridgewater St - Only team capable of beating Maine b/c of returning most of thier front 7 on D. Also play a tough early schedule with Rowan.
3. Endicott- Got hot at the end of last year and return QB, WR , and Rookie Off Player of the Year at RB. Return almost the whole Defense including Rookie DEf Player of the year and first team D End Eagen.

I would think that if they perform they should deserve a spot like any other team.  However, would we agree that the conference is even less strong than the NEFC?  or would we put the conference ahead of the NEFC?

Thanks for the NEFC insight, Boxer.  And as for Husson, they likely won't get consideration unless they dominate the rest of the ECFC.

Also, for those who haven't bought Kickoff (and really you should), here's how the "official" East Region preseason ranking looks:

1. Ithaca
2. Cortland
3. Hobart
4. Montclair
5. Rowan
6. Alfred
7. Fisher
8. Del Valley
9. Lycoming
10. Albright

That's E8 - 3, MAC - 3, NJAC - 3 and LL - 1

no love for the NEFC

Seemed like one of those cases where based on last season, Curry deserves the love, but based on what's coming back across the conference, there are as many as four teams that could challenge for the Colonels' spot, so it might be a few weeks before NEFC teams sort out which one is going to be the one (or two) rising up the polls.

At least that's how I saw it. It wasn't that the NEFC didn't deserve consideration at all, which in past years has actually sometimes been the case, to a degree.

Boxer,
I see from your previous comments that you likely agree.

You are correct and I do agree with your statement. I just try to give the NEFC any credit I can since I'm the only poster from the conference.

Just a Reminder to everyone.  Please try to have all the week 1 polls in by the end of Sunday.  Thank you  :)

Sent it in, only change is Fisher and Del Val swapping spots.  Everyone besides fisher either won or was inactive.  I won't move teams for being inactive the first couple of weeks.
