East Region Fan Poll

[Upstate]

Utica- good enough to get votes for the D3FB top 25 but not good enough to get votes for the ERFP top 10...

Utica- good enough to get votes for the D3FB top 25 but not good enough to get votes for the ERFP top 10...

Top 25 voted on by 25 pollsters, in which Utica and Alfred are "tied" as the 10th Eastern Region team....while in the ERFP there are 5 pollsters.

Chances are you double the number of ERFP pollsters to 10 and Pep is believing Utica gets a few votes. But then, right now, there are SIX unbeaten teams in the Empire 8 alone. And the ERFP covers the E8, LL, MAC, ECFC, MSCAC, NESMCAC, NJAC and an independent.

Regarding the Utica ranking, I never had Ohio Northern as a Top 25 team, the game was close last year ad I figured the home team would win the game in a close one. I think going up against a salty Morrisville State team after having about two weeks to think about their game (loss) against a good St. Lawrence team will be a good game (indicator) to see if they can continue this upswing and deserve to be in the conversation of Top East teams.

The OAC is a mediocre league without Mount Union and Ohio Northern top 25 ranking was questionable...that said, I think it was a great message by an E8 member to show the strength of the league with an intense comeback.....as Pep said a convincing win over Mo St will get votes

[Div3Fan]

Surprised to see Cortland lose to SJF...

Will be interesting to see how Wesley handles a much improved CNU team

Utica escapes Drake Field with a 28-21 win over Morrisville.
Meanwhile, Heidelberg all over Ohio Northern, 45-7!

Nice road win for Utica but the jury is still out. They're living on the edge and I love it!  Bring on the E8 carnage!

Going to be some shake up in the poll this week, got to watch a good amount of DIII football.

Looks good to me.  It will be interesting to see how the head to heads play out down the road.

To dlip, on a feeling here, if Utica beats Cortland then they are a contender...if not...then same old Utica (with a cool OOC win)!

[fisheralum91]

Ill be tuning in to the UC Cortland game for sure.

I will say this- the Ohio Northern win doesnt look that great after they got manhandled by Heidelberg

[boobyhasgameyo]

I just can't ignore how badly Heidelberg smashed ONU.  The same Heidelberg that Cortland beat. 

Combine that with Utica barely escaping against M-State (who the jury is still out on) and I just have a sneaking suspicion that Cortland will win this one by about 17.

Does this games outcome decide whether Blaise submits his resume to IC or not?
