I completely missed  the HSU score. That is a my mistake. my apologies? I think that my vote change would only swap HSU  and Centre
positioning

Yes, I can imagine Centre as being considered the best team in the "SCAC/SAA".

There is a big log-jam after the top 2-3.

Yep. After my top 3, I feel like I could just be rearranging the deck chairs on the next 10 for a while. Very interested in the CNU - HSC game and the B-SC - Huntingdon games this weekend. Might start to give some clarity.

[HSC85]

HSC was up 35-0 at halftime and 42-0 on CNU at start of 4th quarter when the starter were removed.  Final score not reflective if the one sided game.

If Trinity  was looking ahead shame on them .  A two loss team from the south is going to have a tough time getting a C bid unless parity equals throughout all of  D3  and there are few undefeated team!

I still have trouble seeing the northern south region teams other than Wesley matching up speed and size with the big boys down south.

[Ralph Turner]

There are some very unflattering losses among the teams getting votes.

W&L lost to F&M -- good team but a South Region Top 10 should have won that game. (I'll bet Muhlenberg and JHU and maybe Gettysburg beat F&M.)
Gettysburg -- has yet to be tested.
Thomas More -- may be the strongest team in the Pres AC and hosts W&J on 10/06/2012
Millsaps -- has 4 tough tests ahead Centre, Huntingdon, Trinity and B-SC.

Nevertheless, I can see a 9-1 or 10-0 H-SC getting one or two post-season games.

"Nevertheless, I can see a 9-1 or 10-0 H-SC getting one or two post-season games."

I agree with that Ralph. I can see a few real good teams staying home because they went out made the schedules they did.
Wesley has to win out and with games at La college and Huntingdon along with a home game with Birmingham so.  Trinity has to win out period and I don't see them beating UMHB. 

With so many cross schedule games with the top South teams it could be a disaster!!!LOL

jknezek,
My votes mirrored the top seven teams in the poll with one reversal of places.  I think all voters are struggling with 8.9 & 10.  I did not vote for Sul Ross because their scores in the last three years with Eastern New Mexico were very similar in points. Depending on Trinity's game against UMHB and Sully's game against UMHB I might move them up considerably.  I also did not vote for Trinity for the same reason I dropped Hardin Simmons.  I personally cannot vote a team in the top 10 whose defense gives up 58 and 62 points.  I am open to any criticism but I thought I might share a few reasons for some of my votes.  We must all remember it is still early in the season and I agree the games this week among teams listed in this poll might clear some things up!

PS;  Don't expect me to share my votes each week!!
