[02 Warhawk]

I'm curious what Linfield did (or didn't do) for two voters to stop voting them #1 in week four? Looks like they jumped ship and voted Mount Union instead. Did Linfield not win at CWR by enough (45-0)? Mount, on the other hand, clobbered the winless OAC bottom feeder, Marietta (84-14). Was the putting up of 84 points that influential?

I believe Linfield is close to unbeatable this year (more so than Mount). They will finally come out of the West to get the Stagg Bowl.

Not trying to call out anyone, just sparking some conversation on the thread.

They will finally come out of the West *again to get the Stagg Bowl.

*fixed (but I know what you're saying)

hey 02,  I was one  of those who changed his vote from Linfiled to Mt U after my trip to alliance last week ...   I saw a machine that night  for sure ,, Not to say they are not beatable in the Stagg   by My beloved Wildcats  this year.. time will tell but until then

Go Cats
Go Big D

02, I have no doubt the Cats are playing really impressively. But don't write their ticket to Salem too early. After all, even though the polls won't reflect it, don't forget my mantra...WIWA.   

[smedindy]

The only change I had was Concordia Moorhead out, Lebanon Valley in.

[Mr. Ypsi]

The only change I had was Concordia Moorhead out, Lebanon Valley in.

I didn't completely drop C-M, but they fell from 22 to 25.  My change was #24 Augsburg out, replaced by #24 Willamette.

Pacific is on the verge of entering, and Salisbury is coming back strong.  (And, yes, Leb Val definitely on the radar.)

[02 Warhawk]

I'm interested to see how Stevens Point does at home against Platteville this weekend. UWSP have been flying under the radar so far in the WIAC (4-1, 2-0)...they are lurking just beyond the top 3 big dogs in the conference.

They already had a respectable game at NCC, where they trailed the Cardinals 13-0 at the half. But went on to lose 27-7.

I'll get the individual votes up sometime in the next day or so

[smedindy]

Interesting that we have consensus on 20 of the 25 teams, and almost full consensus on two additional teams.

This poll seems stable...almost TOO stable...

That will change in coming weeks.  By coincidence(?), several conference schedules are extremely back-loaded this year (esp. OAC, CCIW, and WIAC); the 'big dogs' have been feasting on the also-rans, but go head-to-head soon.

I was surprised by the spread for some teams (i.e Pacific Lutheran).

I guess that helps balances the poll.
