East Region Fan Poll

[pg04]

The person who voted for RPI number 1 explained his rationale last week a couple pages back.  I would quote it but I feel too lazy to go back in time, but there was some rationalness to it. 

[pg04]

Actually, I will... here you go.  I assume the same holds true now...

based on U89 admitting he has IC @ 2 and that he dropped SJF from 3 to 4, one can see that he is the one ranking RPI @ 1.

My question to U89 is, WTF??

That's me....had RPI at #2 Pre-Season and Fisher #1....dropped Fisher to #3 after loss to MUC and moved RPI to #1.....they have been there since.

Who should be at #1? 
~ Ithaca which struggled at home (17-16) with a marginal Lyco team then beat King's 38-28?
~ Fisher which struggled (24-17) to beat a team that got totally crushed by Case Reserve the previous week?

I had said earlier that RPI is not a clear-cut #1, but you can poke holes in everyone, including Cortland.  The season is young, it will all work itself out.

well after SJF's monkey stomp of IC, i feel that U89 owes us an updated explanation

I have a tendency to agree with you.  But I'm pretty sure sure he's not going to move RPI from 1 if they keep winning.

Would I vote RPI #1?  No, not right now.  But if U89 thought RPI was #1 a week ago, a SJF win over a struggling Ithaca is as impressive to me as RPI's win over WPI.  Let's not get TOO crazy because the name is 'Ithaca'.

I understand where you're coming from SJFF82.  As previously stated, the season is young and it will all work itself out.  I can't see dropping my preseason #2 team as they continue to take care of business.  You may not think that RPI has won impressively enough, but Fisher's 'W' over Rochester didn't woo many people after their throttling the previous week.  I was very impressed with Fisher's handling of Ithaca, but didn't feel it warranted jumping an undefeated RPI.

People keep referencing U of R losing to Case Western Reserve but they fail to mention how Rochester just defeated Union this past week.  You people act like U of R will finish the season with only one win.  Or are they not allowed to improve after a week 1 loss?

Union may finish with about 3 wins. 

[boobyhasgameyo]

Well they defeated Springfield and then lost by 17 to a top 10 team.  I don't know if that makes them a bottom feeder this year.

Name recognition is way too heavy here.  Springfield doesn't look so good either.

Re: Rochester over Union
Agreed Booby,  I noticed that score linkage too.  The Buffalo State score still leaves me a little wary, but I was convinced enough after the IC win to put SJF back at #1.  I'm not thoroughly convinced of any of my Top 5 selections yet.  This season seems more balanced than the past few.

Nah I wasn't implying that Springfield was a top flight team, they will probably be an average team.  But Union was able to defeat them, and then hang with a Top 10 team, so I think Union will probably finish with 6 wins.  That is a Booby prediction special!

I also think U of R will finish with 7 wins just so you know.   

[theoriginalupstate]

The Buff state game did concern me a bit too Dan, watching it was pretty horrendous too, but not because of the score but because of how they played.  Even though they were physically dominant on the field they were also extremely sloppy with their assignments and uncharacteristically stoopid.  They missed on a couple deep passes that have been a staple in this offense over the years (the seam routes vs cover 0 and the play action bootlegs), passes that this offense needs to help keep teams from stacking the box. They were committing stoopid and horrible penalties on Defense that negated turnovers and great field position.  They were more concerned about laying someone out rather than playing football.  They ended up with more than 400yds of offense but they looked like a dude who couldn't score with his drunken prom date.
