Dlip will agree that it's good to see WNE in the poll. Dlip saw them first hand and he believes they are a very good football team. They seem filled to the brim with athletes and are well coached. They remained very poised against Union, regrouped, and took care of business. It will be interesting to see how the remainder of their season plays out. Dlip would like to see them run the ****ing table.

Rowan? Dlip is not trying to be a dick here but man the Profs just can't run through. Dlip admits he is too caught up in their past and has these bizarre hopes of the "Beast of the East," making a return...not happening.

Dlip also must add it is nice to see Stevenson up to #3. Congrats on their steady rise and continued growth as a program.

Salisbury looks solid and Fisher seems for real (although some SJF posters hammer their defense like a ****ing 17th century blacksmith would pound an anvil). Don't sleep on SLU folks. This defense is serious and RPI really stepped up last weekend and played them tough. 

Poll looks great fellas thanks for all the time and thought you all are putting into it!

[Upstate]

Can't really see much to squabble about in these rankings.

I know it's still kinda early and teams haven't really separated, however I think CNU is getting overlooked by some. I don't see  them at 7 or 8. I certainly can't find 6/7 teams better than them right now, 3/4 sure but that's just my opinion.

Always enjoy seeing these rankings come out, keep up the good work!

[Swish3]

We'll see how CNU does at Rowan on Saturday...as wesleydad said, they'll be pissed and at home, so I'm expecting a tough game.

GO CAPS!

[AUPepBand]

Looking forward to seeing this week's ERFP....Kaz?

The win by Rowan certainly creates the foundation for the NJAC circus tent!

Yup.

Salisbury @ Rowan could be interesting...I can see the Profs slowing down the triple option, but can they score enough to win?

[Bartman]

I think the overall poll makes pretty good sense this week. Here are the biggest differences in rating opinions
           
               Albright(7 pt spread): High of 4 while all other votes NR (2 "good" losses this year to be considered)
               Hobart(6 pt spread)  : High of 5 Low of NR and 9( Cardiac wins get hammered in the polls by some and maybe some LL skepticism )
               SLU(6 pt spread)      : High of 2 Low of 8 and next low of 4....(definite LL skepticism by one voter)
               CNU(6 pt spread)     : High of 5  Low of NR, next low of 7.....(somebody felt the Rowan loss was not as significant as Wesley win)

All interesting judgements showing diversity of voter opinions balances out somewhat .

[ITH radio]

hobart and sjfc seem to be very similar to me in that they've won several close calls and perhaps are underperforming compared to their true potential.

Agree on Sals vs Rowan - really only exciting matchup of the wkd at a national level. RPI could turn heads as Hobart isn't invulnerable and did lose to them last year to boot.

With most of the teams with a bye, we get chance to see good amount of other teams around the east and nation play. Also, were we discounting the fact that the CNU vs. Rowan game was played in the ran which resulted in CNU still receiving more points than Rowan?

[Upstate]

I don't know about this true potential. They were 7-4 last year. I don't know if it was the week 1 blow out that changed the perception of the outlook of the team but so far the Fisher fan's (except 1) have been extremely pleased with the team's effort this year. Last year Fisher scored 27 pts a game and averaged 340 yards of offense. This year they've scored 37 points, and have put up 429 yards a game. This year's offense light years better than last year's offense in terms of efficiency and execution. Offensively they're converting 55% on 3rd down as opposed to 35% last year.

Also going forward it's going to be hard to preform up to "true potential" when your starting QB and top 2 RBs are gone for an extended period of time. They have a freshman QB and a DE starting at RB for the next few weeks so we will see how the team responds vs Morrisville and Utica before the BYE.

I believe Rowan have some good skill guys on Defense, but unless there is an overcast for the weather, I don't thinks it's happening. However, it is Rowan's Homecoming, so the players may be up for the challenge.

the weather may be a mess this weekend, depending on when the storm gets here.  Rowan will have to rely on the defense because they are not going to outscore anyone.

I have no real problem with the poll. I had Utica at #8 and WNE out but a very close to #10. My choice for Utica was they beat 2 ranked teams (ohio northern & Cortland). WNE had no big wins and yes I realize they can only play the teams on their schedule.

Yes, but they have beat those teams decisively and was never really in a battle with its opponents. Do I think WNE can beat Utica, Ohio Northern, and the current Cortland, Yes! Again, they have played very well.
