East Region Fan Poll

[thewaterboy]

fan poll running slow.  interested to see how it breaks down this week.  Seems like plenty of ok teams in the east, but few if any real good ones.

I think Wesley is plenty capable of being really good. They just need to sort out their QB situation. Defense is above average and their skill players on offense are just as good as they have ever been.

I think Mullin is the guy now. Should be a different team w/ him, but time will tell.

Another Jersey guy.

Yeah, after Saturday I would agree. If not I'd imagine they'd turn to the freshman (a D1 recruit).

I like seeing Hobart at 2

There is no doubt that Ithaca is the #1 Team in the East. One can still argue 2-5 but this will definiitely play out by the end od week #5. My order was different but the Top 5 Teams are still there. My order was Ithaca, Wesley, Del Val, Hobart and Salisbury. The fun is defending your picks.

As I said on the NJAC Board the next 2 games will make or break the season for my Red Hawks. To many times they appear not to keep their head in the game and play down to their competition and lost to So VA. If they won that game they would probably be in the 6-7 or maybe higher. They have a ton of players returning and a good QB for the first time in a while. I feel that they have a good shot to beat Hobart but they must play 110-60 and be smart. Then comes Salisbury who had a nice win over Oshkosh. That's why we play the games. We will now see.

I agree, I looked at the schedule and indicated that weeks 4-7 would be a major indicator for how the NJAC would playout. These games were played towards the end of the season in prior years, which may be a good thing for us as the last 3 years we haven't finish at all. Having a extra bye week will definitely help with preparations, however I think 1st game jitters will settle in after having two weeks off.

Awaiting on a few ballots. My ballot did not change too much, but I did drop a few teams and added some good teams that have been playing well as of late.

Los of great league matchups coming up this weekend that should really make for an interesting poll next week.

Interesting how a loss moved SJF up, and a win moved RPI down.....

How so? Given the results and the quality of opponent, that's what I would expect. Obviously, RPI was just going through the motions and likely could have named the score. But I would be much more impressed by what I saw from Fisher

I am all for it!  I appreciate the voters that are posting teams that they actually feel are the top ten at this moment.  I don't think the national polls reflect the same sentiment.  Is there an example of a team that won, and dropped down in the top 25?  Did Ithaca this week?

Did Ithaca play one of the worst teams in D3 football over the past decade?
