Sports Network Poll

[smallcollegefbfan]

Will App be the unanimous number one? I just looked at TSN and they have the records updated in the rankings but have not moved the teams around. This should be an interesting top 25 with several surprise wins.

[TexasTerror]

How is App State not a unanimous number one?

Perhaps because your looking at the preseason poll...xrulesx

Poll has not come out just yet...

Like I said in the AGS thread - moving up and down in week 1 is meaningless since the mix of pollsters is different from preseason to week 1.

That said, I have to really question Illinois State at #7 and Montana and UNH with first place votes.

This can't be right, Ill State at 7?

It's a wacky tobacky poll:

Delaware State Beats Coastal Carolina... yet Coastal is still ranked ahead of Delaware State....

Yep, that make sense...

I just figured out this is the preseason poll with the teams first week record added on to it. I wouldn't get worked up about it.

One last rant

YSU was 4 drops to 5 after losing 38-6

JMU was 9 moves up to 8 after losing 37-14

MSU was 10 drops to 21 after losing 38-7

You need to think of something else to type to us other than acting like a preschooler and typing "wah, wah, wah" every reply. Go back to egriz where they might like you.

Interesting that UMass and Montana switched places. I'd bet it's all those voters who had Montana #1 dropping them behind App St. that made the big difference.

[Model Citizen]

Looks like our Muppets voted. Will anyone else admit to participating? What a mess.

A mess?

24 of 25 teams are the same as AGS.

Top 4 are the same - 2,3,4 are different in both
5-9 are the same
10-15 are the same (Delaware is #13 in both, the only match besides Appalachian State)
16-25 are all over the place, but the difference is Western Illinois (Sports Network) vs. Lehigh (AGS)

Exactly.

I feel like EIU and SHSU rose too much and that Drake should have been in.

Well... we just gotta put 'em down.

Didn't the Griz have a few first place votes? If so that would explain the fall in the rankings.
