I want to address a couple of things for the record today. Some might ask, how does a 9-0 D2 team drop a few spots even after they won yesterday? The reason is, we have several teams in D2 and D3 that are undefeated but are just playing a simply ugly schedule in terms of quality opponents. Take Mount Union (D3), for example. Only two teams have even scored against them this season. And yet, following every win they drop in the rankings. I cannot emphasize enough how important the strength of schedule is, and this year there seems to be a lot more cases of this happening. If you are playing schools that are much lower quality programs than your own and you are blowing them out, what have you really accomplished? It doesn't mean you aren't capable of beating the top ranked schools in your division, but you just haven't played them. So your ranking is going to be much lower...simple as that! Steve out.

No point to make from me, just found it interesting!

Wow, I like looking at compughterrating.com for their predictions but I don't look at their rankings that often. Not very often are you going to see a poll this far into the season with Mount Union at 31. Crazy to think that according to their poll UMHB has beaten 3 teams "better" than the Purple Raiders.

[wesleydad]

south goes 3 -2 in first round with 1 loss being in region.  also, waynesburg won their ecac game.  good showing.  umhb and wesley should pick up wins next week, jhu gets the unenviable task of going to mount, hopefully they give them a game.  the other psuedo south team, salisbury also won and has a nice game this week with widener.  too bad umhb and wesley are in the same bracket, would like to have seen that game be a semi or at the stagg since i believe they are 2 of the top 4 this year.

Three out of five ballots are in.
