D3 Top 25 Fan Poll

[MasterJedi]

Count me in the "ask me after the stagg" crowd. Can't really get an accurate picture until then.

[HScoach]

I'm in the "ask me after the Stagg" camp, but that game isn't the only factor.     Matchups and luck are a factor too.

Huge part of getting to the big game and winning it all. Like I say to my boys after we win a close game that shouldn't have been so close, "sometimes it's better to be lucky than good".

MUC didn't look like a Top 5 team tonight. The game really threw me off on a national scale. Also, UWW was is the elite team in Division III.

[02 Warhawk]

Wow...I was dead wrong. No way I vote Mount ahead of MHB (maybe even Linfield).

Not much of a fight from Mount today. Warhawks came ready...Mount, not so much.

[HSCTiger fan]

Top 5
UWW
MHB
Linfield
Mt. Union
Wesley

Mt. Union gave up 151 points in their last 3 games.  What happen?

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

I've got 3 ballots so far and none of them agree on Mount Union.
Also the only teams that have been agreed upon by all three are UWW and surprisingly Pacific Lutheran. Just 18 teams have been on all 3 and 33 teams have received votes. Still several more ballots to go.

[Scots13]

One word on last night's game: OUCH.

All season I've seen the "WIWA" on several posts in the signature, and well, Whitewater is Whitewater Again. Without a doubt. Good Lord what a team.

Leipold and Maryville's Mike Rader are up for Liberty Mutual's Coach of the Year with Rader leading in the fan votes with one day of voting left. I'd think fan voting or not, Leipold is the winner. WW is not a no name team but after going 7-3 and missing the playoffs in 12, this year's team was unreal. That's one hell of a job to get a team back on top and make a STATEMENT in Salem.

I think this is the first time all year the Fan Poll has gone up before the D3F poll
