Not posted on d3football.com yet, but ETBU beat SWAG 85-23 last night.

I shuffled the deck chairs a very small amount in my poll this week, but didn't do much else. This upcoming week has 3 or 4 really interesting games.

Linfield at UMHB probably not much effect on the poll, but nationally fascinating
W&J at TMC talk about an early season conference battle
CMS at W&L another west vs south match up. Both teams expected to battle for their conference crown
Centre at Wash U -- Centre is 2-0 and rolling over unimpressive competition. Wash U with the big UAA win over CMU week 1. Probably not on too many radars, but Centre is almost always competting for the SAA and Wash U is expected to be up there with them.

I had some shuffling at the bottom as well.

Some thoughts:
-Centre has me interested a bit in the SAA, as well as Hendrix and Berry. Early money on Hendrix, though.
-Huntingdon in the USAC, but NCWC might make a run. I'm hoping my Scots can make a run with a young but talented team. Albeit vs. Hanover, a shutout early in the year can work wonders for defense's confidence.
-I like RMC and Guilford for time being in the ODAC. Hopefully W&L can wake up and start rolling to form. Ferrum and HSC this week--we will see how E&H, HSC and Shenandoah stack up with a common opponent.
-Winner of TMC/W&J for the PAC. I think it's a close game. Touchdown or less.
-JHU and UMHB are "duh" winners in CC and ASC.

I shuffled in the bottom five also.

I have my eye on Centre and want to see if Huntingdon is on a par with or better than the best in the ODAC.  W&J/TMC is on my radar and curious interest in cross-country CMS at W&L.  Linfield/UMHB is more nationally important than to South Fan Poll.

I'll be interested to see the absolute shoot-out this weekend at the Huntingdon/Belhaven game. Good thing this isn't an SEC night game--the football budget would be shot from all the fireworks.

Turk & Co. have to deal with 2 Mumme Air Raids this year. I expect them to win both games, but that has to be a pain.

Back to Belhaven for a second: they had UWW 13-24 at around the 11 minute mark in the 3rd then were blasted for 35 straight in the 4th. Almost 500 yards rushing for UWW. NCWC had UMU 0-0 at the end of the 1st. Over 300 yards on the ground for UMU.
Don't really know what my point is, other than good first half Belhaven and first quarter NCWC. Made us South Region fans (or at least me) proud for a little while.

I need one more poll and then I will post it.  (A different 5th voter this week.)

UWW just had too many horses.  That was an admirable performance.

Don't sleep (not that you are) on Westminster in the PAC race.  They were very tough last year and have maintained that momentum into this year.  I think they'll beat at least one of the two PAC Heavies and I think they'll beat Case too.

Just my .02

Same with Mount.  They were playing two true freshman QBs, right?  And 16 freshman overall.  That's unreal (for Mount Union).

Well. I'd say that's some shuffling.

[jknezek]

Well, my top 10 are the 10 showing, with a few discrepancies. I've got ETBU above the two PAC schools, JHU above HSU, and Wash U leading Huntingdon, Guilford and Hendrix, but overall, there is a lot of agreement. Obviously my 7 for Wash U is huge for getting them into the poll. But other than that 10 spot, we all pretty much agree. Only Hendrix isn't a unanimous member, and they are as close as it gets.

[Ralph Turner]

I have Berry and Hendrix in the Top 10 from the SAA. I am not sure what to make of Wash U yet (after only one game), nor can I gauge the strength of the top team in the SAA relative to the Region.

[Ralph Turner]

Well. I'd say that's some shuffling.

The amazing thing is that we went from only one team getting a single vote in Week #1 to 6 teams getting a single vote in Week #2.

That is a lot of instability at the bottom of the poll!

[jknezek]

Lot of movement this week for me. My watchlist also got paired down pretty good.
