East Region Fan Poll

[lewdogg11]

Yes a few more games consisting of a win, a big win dlip might add over Cortland and a loss at #6 Brockport. The loss to Alfred is disturbing to dlip but not disturbing enough to knock them out of the poll after defeating the  #1 team in the nation on the road ya know bombers? Just some thoughts after Back to School Night.

Buff St got smoked by Alfred who got smoked by RPI. Buff St might have some serious talent but at 2-2 and losing like that, they don't deserve to be ranked at this point. If they continue to win, I'll think differently, but they are just far too inconsistent.

All true dog but t dlip, the two wins overtake the two losses. At least when comparing them to an NEFC team who squeaked past Union and Monclair. Those wins for Salve were great and dlip is happy for them. He just couldn't find a spot for Salve. Inconsistent is true but Buff State's upside is quite high and therefore dlip thinks Buff is a more dangerous team. Plus Alfred looked atrocious against RPI. They seemed like a much improved team against the Bengals. Time will tell, it is all very close right now. Dlip feels spots 4-10 are not an easy call.

Dlip feels spots 4-10 are not an easy call.

I had 12 teams that I was considering and only the first 4 were locks in my mind.  After that it was tough since the parity seems so great.

Part of my issue with Buff State isn't just the two losses, but how they've come about. This isn't like say Cortland starting 3-2 and losing two games closely (1 point to Montclair and basically 2 yards to Kean). Buff State was dominated in the 2nd half by Alfred and trailed almost the entire game to Brockport. They were severely outgained in both games. They're not impressive in their losses like some teams are

Got an uncommon few minutes here on a Tuesday to give some insight/predictions of some interesting games this week:

Salisbury @ Buff St.
I don't think anyone can look forward to playing Buff St. right now.  They are obviously a Jeckyll and Hyde team but they are obviously very talented.  I expect last week's loss to be emotionally crushing.  I see Salisbury disposing of them without a ton of trouble, but I still wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the case.  Very interesting matchup.

Hobart @ WPI
Hobart continues to roll.  Although i thought WPI would have a half-decent season, they just can't get it together.  Hobart by more than a little.

Brockport @ Rowan
I'm starting to get this feeling that Rowan is dope.  I expect to see Rowan put a stamp on their season this week and let all the pee pee and poop haters know that they are for real.

Widener @ Leb Valley
Can Widener go for 90 again?  Doubt it against this team.  But I think Widener might be the beast in the MAC.

St. Lawrence @ Rochester
Just kidding...  Who cares about this one.

Utica @ Ithaca
Ithaca gets a chance here to prove their own fan base wrong.  Utica wins by 35.

Montclair @ Cortland
I think a lot of people thought more of both of these teams to start the year.  I'm not counting Cortland out yet, but Montclair is toast.  Cortland starts their run at it.  CState in a Monkey Stomp.

RPI @ MMA
Only here because of my allegiances...RPI should win big.  SHOULD is the key word.  They will win, but hopefully they have some swag doing it.

Springfield @ Union
Springfield hangs 40+.  Union drops a terd.  Frank writes 4 page analysis.  Participation trophy given to Union after the game.

Key Matchups:

I am surprised that no one has noticed that Cortland St.'s two victories are vs teams with a total record of 0-7.  Next week I expect CS will have another victory.  Will this push CS higher in the poll?

  I agree Lew! My beloved BENGALS have to put a complete game together this Saturday if they envision being worthy, of moving back into the rankings.  Thier inconsistency is not worthy of serious consideration at this point. I do believe that much of this week has been spent going back to the drawing board!

  Coach Boyes and his staff know that they have the talent to compete with anyone at the D3 level. They don't need any convincing about that. The kids just have to realize that you are only as good as your last game and if you can't bring your "A" game every weekend then their season will be longer than most! The coaches have no doubt that the BENGALS can compete. I have no doubt that they can compete! If our kids believe in themselves and go out this weekend and execute the way that they know they can, then the best is yet to come!

Go BENGALS!!!!!

what caught my eye was that someone did not rank Rowan.  not sure how that could be.  guess they get a chance to change someones perspective this weekend.

Were I voting, I'd think long and hard about voting for a Rowan team that had to come back in the 2d half to beat Western CT by 6.  WestConn has lost 24 straight:

2010 average margin of loss = 31 points;
2011 average margin of loss = 36 points;
2012 1st 2 games, average margin of loss = 52 points.

RedSwarm81....long time no post, then out of the blue...   Good point here. WestConn actually outgained the Profs. Odd game.
