A few notes:

I am glad to see JSU move up as they did.

I think NDSU should be higher but I am glad they at least got ranked. I put them in my top 15.

W&M was not in my top 20 this week and were behind UMASS, as they should have been. I hate the fact that many poll voters will only move a team up or down so much based on their vote the week before.

People are punishing teams for FBS losses way too much. Just because you lose to a top 15-20 FBS team by 25-30 does not mean you should fall in the poll.

agree 100%. And as much as I like to see Liberty move up in the polls I don't think a W over a lower-tier St Francis team rates moving up 2 spots. But I'll take it

From what I saw of that game St. Francis is not very good at all. Mike Brown is a playmaker but I think he has a better pro future at WR and RB rather than QB. WR Chris Summers is a beast. He doesn't look blazing fast, well he did against St. Francis, but he has tools. Looking forward to watching him this year.

I'd still vote Villanova above Montana.

Agree. Nova should still be #1. They should not be punished for a close loss. Montana should not be rewarded for beating up Western State.

Jesus....People were that impressed by our drubbing of Western State?

Disappointed Nova lost to a MAC team that they defeated last year.

I want to know how some could have still voted W&M #1?

SC State drops four spots for losing to Georgia Tech...yet McNeese moves up a spot for a close game against a startup?
