East Region Fan Poll

[theoriginalupstate]

Wow Hobart!

Way to let me down!

[pg04]

Not a good day so far for some of the top 10 (I will update this post as results come in):

#1 Ithaca loses 24-21 to Union

#2 Hobart loses to Dickinson 26-3.  

#3 Cortland defeats Morrisville 26-17.

#4 Montclair loses to Wilkes 37-10 .  It would appear that the pollstars misfired on MSU and Wilkes.  

#5 Alfred (No data on game vs. FDU-Florham)

#6 Delaware valley defeats Kean 30-17.

#7 Rowan leads 26-7 in 4th over Lycoming

#8 RPI defeats Endicott 28-0  .  

#9 SJF plays later

#10 Springfield -- No data on this game

#10 Curry loses to Widener 22-17

Union makes me look good... I actually had them in my top ten in my pre season poll... but I didn't think they would be Ithaca. The polls should be interesting.

[sjfcards]

I just listend to the game, but that is an impressive win for Union. I really thought IC had the inside track for the top spot in the East Region this year, but that is a tough loss. Union should definatly jump in the East Region polls.

dlip feels they will but it is going to get really messy this year because the east is seemingly going to kick the **** out of itself. As of right now dlip feels Rowan is on top of the East going into week 3. Will the beast of the east come back to life after a hiatous (spelling?)?

#6 Ithaca vs. Widener

couple quick thoughts for now:

Hobart:  dropping all the way out over a seemingly bad loss is a bit of stretch.  There must be a reason they were ranked so high in the 1st place right?  I know Dickinson is not MUC, but 'Bart only beat them by 3 in '06, and by 7 in '08.  Dickinson won in OT in '07.  Must be a good matchup and perhaps Bart will bounce back.

SJF:  I remember thinking they were underrated in the poll last year after week 2...SO I WILL SHUT MY MOUTH FOR A FEW WEEKS....because they promptly justified their ranking     But that offense SURE looked dangerous on Sat.

[clandfan]

Interesting result.  I agree Hobart should still be in top 10.   As a fan, I like seeing Cortland at #1 but as a realist, not sure they should be there.  Still many unknowns about this team.  NJAC ranks Rowan ahead of them and they probably should be.  Cortland has had to replace 10 of 12 offensive starters including entire OL and have weaknesses in running game and kicking game (except punter).  They will improve as they always do but #1 maybe a stretch for now....but that thanks for the love.

[Jonny Utah]

Still probably way to early to know anything this year.  There is no clear cut top 10 or 5 or even 2 I dont think. 

You have like 5 mac teams that all could be #1 or #20. 

Then you have Ithaca and SJF and Alfred that could all come up big down the strecth.

Then you have Springfield.  Who knows what the hell they have going there.

Utica!

RPI, Union and Hobart will all be there at the end.

The NJAC is always a crapshoot it seems.  Although it looks like Cortland and Rowan will be the easy favorites there.

Hartwick might suprise a few teams down the stretch as well.

Then theres the unknown Nefc and other new england teams.

Great now we know exactly what the rest of the season has in store   

[union89]

Funny how 2 Pollsters can have Union unranked and have Ithaca at #3 & #6. 

Anyone care to explain that rationale??

maybe they think that Union is not a top ten team and IC is.

If Union is that poor of a team, Ithaca should not be a #3 after losing to them.....correct??

I had Hobart as my 10 in this week's polls.  I think they probably still do deserve to be in the Top 10 but have a lot to prove after their worst offensive performance since 1993.
