3) Ithaca (bye week gonna be bad for Alfred IMO)
4) Hobart
5) Salisbury
6) Utica (looking for offense rhythm, D and ST looks solid)
7) Union (can a get a challenge for $100 Alex?)
8) Cortland (see Union)
9) WPI (if game was at RPI, flipped script)
10) Alfred (anyone understand their QB situation? I don't)

I feel like what you wrote for Union and Cortland should also be true for Utica.

St. Lawrence and Buff State went a combined 3-17 last year, with wins over: Norwich (who has already topped St. Lawrence), Hartwick (who is not on Buff State's schedule), and Rochester.

The only game I think either team will win this year (aside from the game against each other, obviously) is the Rochester game.

I would not have Wesley at number one.  They did not even match Kean and score a touchdown in regulation against Del Val.  If you are the top team in a region you have to be able to score more than 3 on anyone else in that region.   I would have to lean towards Ithaca or Hobart at this point.  The east is a crap shoot right now with several teams available to be number 1.  I need to see Wesley show ability on offense before I think they are the top team in the east.  This week at Endicott will be interesting especially if they struggle on offense again.

Fair point, but I do believe St. Law and Buff State are improved defensively this season, and are better teams than Westfield/Anna Maria/Fitchburg/TCNJ. But its early

It's a minor note, but Kean scored a TD against Del Val when Del Val's third or fourth string quarterback threw an interception inside his own 20 and then the Kean running back got a favorable call from one yard out against Del Val's second or third string defense.

Kean's top unit wouldn't have scored against Del Val's top unit either.

Poll looks pretty fair given only 2 games to judge . I will be watching the Wesley -Endicott matchup to see how competitive the game is. Endicott may be trending up and we know Wesley is reloading. Ithaca v. Alfred, is the JG hype legit? Utica v. RPI could be some serious scratching and clawing as RPI tries to avoid losing record and big drop from #19.

My game of the week is definitely  IC- Alfred.  Is the early bye week good,  to work on timing and install more of the offense.  Or, does it just feel like week one again, having not played at game speed for 2 weeks?

I'm looking forward to the Alfred v. Ithaca game as these teams along with the team up Route 13 has stalled our offense over the years.

Nobody's wondering about Utica at 3 eh?

Ice Bear says who knows...he doesn't. Ice Bears says maybe this is finally the Pioneers year. Ice Bear says they have talent...probably won't amount to anything as usual but it's a possibility here in week#2.

Ice Bear says valid thought pa.

As 88-91 points out, they're 2-0 isn't of any note compared with anyone else's.  That's all.  After they beat RPI then we can talk.  :)

Seriously. I get that early season polls are all guesswork, but it's especially hard in this region, because it's just not as strong, and a lot of the OOC competition isn't very good. Also, Utica's yet to play a road game.

They'll get their chance to impress me. They just haven't yet. No one in the E8/LL really has yet.
