East Region Fan Poll

[pg04]

Not to sound stupid but what is the deal with the east region poll? I have been around the site for years now but only on PP (mostly LLPP) since the end of last year. Any way to get involved in the east poll situation? I would love to! I don't pretend to be the most knowledgable d3 fan but I am learning and usually am quite rational. I have watched D3 football for over 20 years and have been an avid spectator for at least 12. I feel like this is an interview...? Anyway I would love to contribute and be a part

Which team do you root for? Is it Union?  Unfortunately the 10 pollsters are picked at the beginning of the year and are the same throughout to keep a little consistency.  Also, we have a Union pollstar and I only like one poll coming out of a particular school.  If you can wait until next year, unfortunately, I always have some trouble initially finding pollsters.

I voted for Norwich at 10... frankly because they beat mt. ida who beat Plymouth state and they smoked the Larries... so I thought I would give them a bone at 10

Reasonable explanation, I just thought it was funny for some reason.

As a quick note on the poll, Del Val is idle this week.  They play Salisbury on September 27.

Thanks Gordon, I have adjusted that.

It wouldn't be the first time Dave.

Dan,

I'm glad your sense of smell was off.    We had'em 12-0 under 2 minutes to go and a bizzare pass interference.  We should have had another 14-17 points but them are the breaks. The grass is really tall there. Nice being on the top of the bleachers at the 50 yard line. We can use Wilks as our Red-White game and today as our Lackawana scrimage. Our "D" is real good but the "O" needs work. Bliss had an awsome game running for over 145 yards. I surprised B-Port got smoked. What were your thoughts on your game. Was it close or what.

Dave,

Cortland was up 27-7 midway through the 4th quarter and had the game well in hand.  For some reason they went for it on 4th-and-1 from midfield and failed to convert, so Rowan got the ball back in great field position.

Rowan scored with under a minute to play to make it a 7-point game but couldn't convert the onside kick. 

Rowan had a hard time containing Cortland's ground game, and whenever Miles threw deep Cortland got big plays on the Rowan secondary.  I liked the Rowan QB, he's a good runner though his passing arm is probably middle of the road in the NJAC. 

That hill at Morrisville is ridiculous.  I was talking to someone yesterday about it, and he was saying how they had an eldery person with them who couldn't make it down.  These days everyone is sensitive about handicap access, etc.  I'm amazed they play football there.  At the very least they need to install stairs.

Still need 6 polls... This whole try to hand in by Sunday night thing doesn't seem to be working 

[DanPadavona]

Mine is in.  8)

So is the SJF poll...

Its safe to say that IC is, or  at least should be, the #1 team going into the defacto E8 championship game...

[dlippiel]

I agree upstate I think Ithaca should be #1 and Cortland at #2. Although I think Cortland has some work to do on D. I don't know what exactly to say about SJF. I know the courage bowl is a rivaly and during rivalry games anything can happen but...If they can't beat up on Rochester I do not think they will be making it out of the first round of the NCAA's again. At this point I really think IC is the clear favortie in the E8. Granted I could be mistaken because I have not seen SJF play in person yet this year. It is going to be an interesting year here in the east.

I work Sunday nights. Sorry for the lateness, but my poll is in.
If Ithaca doesn't have all 10 first place votes in the poll, I will be very surprised.
