Is the one vote for MHB the same vote that was cast for Mt. U last week? Somebody must have something against the Warhawks

FCGrizzliesGrad · September 19, 2012, 11:18:16 PM

It wasn't the same person... I'm the MHB vote this week but had Whitewater last week. I was in the interesting position of having my top 2 teams both lose... when's the last time anyone's had to deal with that on their ballot? I will say, had both UWW and Wesley won I was prepared to move Wesley to #1.

I'll put up a rundown of the voting positions later tonight

Always interesting to see where Teams get placed by each voter. The things that jumped out to me the most.

SJF from 4 to 20 on the ballots. To be honest, I'm more confused by the #4 spot. They are undefeated, but haven't won any games in the convincing fashion I'd expect the #4 team in the country. In fact, their wins have been surprisingly close.

We'll find out a lot about UWP tonight. First WIAC opponent and without their starting QB. UWEC has two losses, but both by 3 points to SJU and UST.

Surprising to see the relative lack of love for Brockport St. and Buffalo St. Given where the Warhawks remained, it seems fair to conclude most voters saw the win as an anomaly than indicative of either UWW and BSU. I can certainly understand being cautious with dropping UWW. But beating UWW in the regular season on the road is impressive. In two weeks we'll all have a lot better handle on where BSU is at when they play Fan Poll #8 Salisbury.

Thanks for tabulating this every week FCGG. It's fun and motivates me to learn and digest more info on teams outside of the West and North Regions. I realize we're not playing for keeps, but I don't want to be a dope voter (although this doesn't preclude that very conclusion

). One of the best takeaways for me from the poll is that I feel much more invested in D3 as a whole. Good stuff.

Salisbury has a bye week before that game, so that gives them two weeks to prepare for Buffalo State. However, that may not matter because UWW also had two weeks to prepare for them and that ended with a very shocking result. Hopefully the two weeks off doesn't hurt us as it may have hurt UWW.

Going to be an interesting week.

I'm going to have to figure out what to do about Bethel. Yes, they won, but it took absolute madness at the end and a huge tactical mistake by C-M employing the 'punt to win' strategy at 4th and 1 at the 50 on their last possession.
