East Region Fan Poll

[jknezek]

For other's, not even attached to either institution, another MU vs. UW-W meeting is somehow captivating

I don't disagree, but last year was the year, and the other teams fell down. Last year UMU was as vulnerable as I remember seeing them (mid naughts onward). And UWW had to go on the road to UMHB in the playoffs. Both UMU and UWW had viciously close games in the semis. UMU had a dogfight in the quarters.

In the end, though, we had UWW vs UMU despite UMU not being at their best and the committee challenging UWW a bit more. It's going to be a heck of a lot harder this year as both are looking back to their best. I don't expect UWW, assuming they win out, to go on the road. Will UMHB squeeze in above UMU and force the Raiders on the road this year? Maybe. UMHB will certainly have played a stronger schedule, but UMU doesn't look anywhere near as vulnerable.

UMU looks an unbeatable as ever. Last year, you could see the cracks in the defense in the regular season..34 points at Heidelberg, 27 against Franklin, 34 against John Carrol. These cracks blew wide open in the final three games, but the offense bailed them out in two of them.

This year? They've probably only allowed 10 meaningful points all season. (By that, I mean points allowed when the outcome wasn't in doubt.) The offense has actively avoided scoring touchdowns and still averages more than 60 PPG.

It'll be interesting to see them in the playoffs, especially if they do need to go on the road.

No poll this week

It is all Dlip's fault  , jk, I am sure he has other matters that are more important. AU, you can post then update afterwards. Also, since the RR came out, I don't think many people mind.

I would bet our poll voters would disagree w ith the NCAA. Also could you explain why earlier this week Montclair was 45 in NCAA sos and after the rankings we were I think 110. Not that it matters, but curious.

[Pat Coleman]

There was some good discussion on the regional rankings page about it. Long story really short: Southern Virginia counts as a D-III opponent this year.

Almost that time of the year. Which teams do you have as the top 3?

[thewaterboy]

1. Wesley
2. Hobart
3. Delaware Valley

--- or is Wesley still a member of the South Region?

Unless Del Val has reloaded to the point that JM Cozenlaw had alluded to late last year (doubtful) , I wouldn't put Del Val anywhere near the top 3.  I'm sure Rowan or Montclair may have a say near the top as well...

Virtually all conferences are all members of the same region - I would assume that joining the NJAC has moved Wesley to the East (which is probably where Delaware belonged anyway).

Agree that that is where Delaware belonged. Salisbury is a good ways south of Wesley and has been considered a part of the east since at least joining the Empire 8.
