Pep is wondering who the heck is giving Alfred respect after a dismal finish to 2012 and nary a game under its belt? Could it be that homer, Kaz00?

I'm also surprised that Albright did not get in. Still way too early for everything to shake out.

I think they may debut on the polls when the face off against Del Val in couple of weeks.

It'll take a couple weeks for the east to find some semblance of order...maybe.

I thought I'd pop in here and see if anyone would be interested in participating in the Top 25 Fan Poll. We could always use more voters who aren't from the north. Send me a PM if interested.

Buffalo State at #4?  I agree that the program seems to be trending the right direction (4-6, 5-5, 6-4 with a few nice wins) but already at #4 after a 6-4 season in 2012 plus a season-opening win over Cortland?  Yes, that is a solid opening win, but they beat Cortland in Week 1 last year too...I know they're facing a quality opponent in Brockport this weekend but still that seems high, no?  Do they really deserve some rankings above Widener, a team that made the quarterfinals last season and opened with a competitive loss to Wesley, one of the nation's best teams?

I completely agree. I've said I think BSU could be dangerous, but in all honesty, I feel that Buffalo State plays to the level of their opponent too much. When a team wins the two toughest games on the schedule, but still finishes 6-4 and needs a last-minute comeback to beat Hartwick, there are legitimate consistency questions, IMO

Let's all just relax.  It's only been one week.  Many of us had Cortland ranked high and Buff St. beat them up.  So after 1 week of evidence, that's what we have to go on.  Buff St. has a very tough schedule so they could screw themselves there, but if they are able to win their tough games, look out!  They are 1 for 1 so far.

Oh, I know, it's all in the name of good discussion.  I'm not bent out of shape about it - I'm just genuinely surprised that Buff State is ranked that high (maybe more surprised that anyone would rank them above Widener right now without more evidence that Buff State belongs up there).

Well, technically they are tied in the cumulative ranks.  It's tough putting an 0-1 team ahead of a 1-0 team with a quality win like Buff St had, even if it was a decent loss to Wesley.  Widener is a bit of a question mark.  They lost some good players, but they should be pretty tough regardless.  Just tough to know exactly where to put any of them right now.

This is what makes everything fun. If you get bent out of shape you need a check up from the neck up. Gotta love this. In my Poll I had Widner (4), Buff St. (5) and B-Port (6). Each week going forward things should get bettter. There are (4) good east games this week. Can't wait until tomorrow.

Hey Pep, I resemble that remark!  I've made my case for Mayberry Merry Men on this board already, so I won't rehash that again nor drop them with zero data points from 2013.  The good news is that tomorrow's saterday.  exiting!

Lew is right on at least in regards to dlip's reasoning behind the move. He had Cortland quite high and just can't put them ahead of the Bengals after the loss. The jump makes sense to dlip THIS WEEK. There is a lot of season left and to retain this high ranking and/or improve upon it they must be consistent and continue to win. We'll have a better idea about the Bengals after this week.

[Bengalsrule]

MY beloved BENGALS are now 2-0 and solidly in 4th place in the East region Poll. Not too much to complain about. Especially after the mistake filled game they played vs. Brockport. I counted 6 penalties in less than 1 quarter. If we can't fix that before this coming Saturday, vs. Wisconsin-Whitewater, then you can chalk up our first loss. We must play "nearly" error free football. If so, then the future looks bright.

Sidenote...Brockports Stoldt will be the best Q.B. Buff State faces this year! A few drops kept him from 1 HELL of a game!!

You might want to wait and play against Tyler Fenti from SJFC.   Stats:  37comp / 50 attempts,  6 TDs, 0 Ints and 686 yds.  Ranked 3rd in the Nation in passing efficiency.  He set the single game passing record for yardage(453yds)  vs W&J.  Fisher has had some very good QBs so breaking a passing record is definitely news.  I hope he can keep it up.

[Bengalsrule]

Well lets try this. Stoldt will be the best NON- E8 QB we will see this year. I must defer to our conference when it comes to kudos. Nov 9th is a day when I'm hoping Fenti is not as hot as he was yesterday vs. W&J!!
