Blanchard is going to have to perform at QB for El Cid to have a good season. If he plays the way the cadets believe he is capable of, they could end up in the top 15 or 20. Of course, their defense kinda looked holy last year against App!MarkCCU wrote:I was bout to say it's wrong but then I saw El Cid up there, though I think they will be higher than 23 before the season is over.
Why, exactly? I'm not sure NAU should be getting any votes at all given their lack of experienced receivers and D-linemen.dbackjon wrote:NAU should be higher (26th).
With the # of returning starters the Griz had last year, I could justify their top 5 ranking. This year, with the number of NEW starters we've got, I think they need to "earn" that high ranking. If they go out and start the season 4-0, then I'd say ok. But if they lose to Cal Poly, all bets are off...Beef wrote:Montana may be a little high, but I think it's reasonable. The thing that I don't understand is the lack of respect for Cal Poly on a lot of these polls. They should be top 5 in my mind...
