RPI: two #1 votes, two NRs

Fisher: hilarious. way to go, last guy.

IC, Cortland: No one knows what to think.

Rowan, TCNJ: People just guessing because no one's really paying attention.

I think the one consistent thing is that there is a clear almost clear agreement on who the top two teams are at this moment.

I hit 9 of the top 10.  My problem is that I don't think 4 MAC teams should be in the top 10.  I just don't see it.  But who do you leave out?  Right now for me it's Lebanon Valley.  But they snuck in there.  I think Hartwick deserves just as much recognition as them.  

And who the hell has Fisher at 5?  Seriously?  That voter should be banned because obviously they are picking favorites.

[lewdogg11]

And how can RPI not be ranked on the East Region top 10 right now at 3-0?  I know people hate them and their schedule, but they finish in the top 10 in the region pretty much every year.  Get with it!

I'm sure there is some reasoning.  Let's see if that person wants to defend it.  I definitely don't think they are playing favorites. As for RPI, I think it's fishy not to have them in the top 10.

Yea that was me.

But thats more me having an AFCA moment than thinking they deserve being #5.  Then again, if they played Endicott and St. Lawrence (like Ithaca and RPI played), instead of Mt. Union and Salisbury, they would be an automatic 4-0 and where would people have them in this poll?

And again, I was being lazy when I put them there and dont want to pretend I am defending the pick, but in all seriousness, I dont think they are that far off from the rest of the top 10.

well, at least it's not picking favorites.

[lewdogg11]

Come on Utah!  It's not the Mt. Union game, obviously, that bothers me.  It's the Salisbury game.  If it were close, maybe i'd think differently, but they got monkey stomped by Salisbury, who's season so far doesn't impress me.  Can Fisher get to 5 by year's end?  Sure.  I just don't think they deserve any votes right now.

[pg04]

I was hoping for a better explanation 

[Jonny Utah]

I was hoping for a better explanation 

Yea Im sorry.  But if I had to pick 10 teams I wouldnt want to play in a playoff game, SJF would be one of those teams.  Id rather play any MAC or NJAC team than SJF, Union or RPI.  They still dont deserve to be ranked I guess, but you still have to throw the MUC game out the window.  But thats the funny thing about polls.  Do you rank them on what they 'deserve', or do you rank them on how good you think they are?

And you still have 2 people that dont have RPI ranked, and I think you have to have Utica in there if you have IC and/or RPI in the top 5. 

Ive had Albright high in my rankings the past few weeks, simply because I thought they had some decent players coming back from last year (from a quick stats scan).

[PBR...]

Last year dlip e-mailed one of the guys who puts this poll together and asked him some serious questions regarding his rationales on poll placement and how exactly the poll is put together. His response was that I should call all the D3 coaches who put it together and question them and that I was a ************ for even asking questions about the poll. He made it out to be very reliable and appropriate. One question: Ithaca #19 in the nation? No offense to the Bombers, a program dlip deeply respects, but going by performance here in 09...****.

You star out other words but write out ************? 

Oh no, Dlip types everything without edits... for some reason csucker is allowed... probably because in a recent front page poll 78% of Union grads listed that as their occupation.  HEY-OHHHH!!

sitting here 1/2 asleep catching up on everything and 'gro comes out w/ that line and had pbr LMAO  and woke him up again

Agreed on all fronts....all the way to the point of Lebanon Valley out and Hartwick in at #10......All around, pretty well done this week boys.
