TSN Poll-Sept 27

[AZGrizFan]

UM is 2-2 with one D-I win. EWU is 2-2 with one D-I win. EWU beat UM head to head. Why is Montana that high? I think EWU is too high even. EWU at like 20 with UM at 21 would make much more sense.

I had 'em at 16 & 20.

Accept the fact that your team is mediocre this year. It'll just make the continual losing that much easier to take.

This isn't about my team. I didn't expect UNI to be a very good team this year.

This is about where, and why you think they should be ranked or not ranked. The fact that you think Montana is top 25 worthy and UNI is not, is just ridiculous.

Why don't you just accept the fact that YOUR team is mediocre this year.

You are right, we may be mediocre this year. However, we are playing a ton of sophomores this year. I think we only have a handful of seniors on the roster. This year is a "reloading year", but that doesn't mean we don't have enough talent to run through the MVFC. Our skill players and defense may be the best in in the conference. Once we get our oline broken in (keep in mind all 5 starters that started the first game had 3 combined starts for UNI before this year, and all were from one guy). Once they gel, look out.

That still doesn't mean that we aren't a top 25 team. We are averaging over 410 yards of offense a game, and giving up about 280. If we could get someone to hold on to the damn ball we are golden.

I have always followed the TSN poll and it usually gets it pretty close.But I have to agree with everyone here that they are playing(voting) favorites.Nova and App st haven't played anyone worthy and they are 1 and 2.temple beats them and because of last year they feel as though they owe it to them to stay at #1.GAG!Two 1-3 teams are in the top 25.Are you kidding me.Look at the 1-a poll.Nobody is there with 3 losses.Get a clue guys.I hoppe next week somebody has the sense to screw their heads on the right way.

I "might" be retarded. For you, there's no question about it.

If we could get somebody to hold onto the ball we'd be 4-0 and ranked #1 still.

Thank God I'm not having to say shit like that again this year.

The fucking logic of some of these people is laughable. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts....

Besides, clenzy and DJH, I've clearly explained my methodology: 3 of the top 4 and 5 of the top 7 slots go to the CAA teams, the two remaining top 7 slots go to the BSC leader and the SoCon leader, and the rest I just throw darts. Unfortunately, my dart didn't hit UNI this week.

Better luck next week.

[DJH]

You haven't explained shit. Why do you have Montana in, and have UNI out? I want to know your reasoning.

[AZGrizFan]

You haven't explained shit. Why do you have Montana in, and have UNI out? I want to know your reasoning.

a) they're not in the CAA
b) they're not in the BSC
c) they're not in the SoCon
d) the dart didn't hit them this week.

Better luck next week. Go clean the sand out of your vagina.

Might need one of these...

[JConnolly]

Do the people who do the TSN poll get paid to do this? If so, can they all be fired and they just pay us to use our poll? Our poll isn't perfect, but it's better than having almost a dozen teams that are widely accepted as not being anywhere near where they should be. Also any poll that still has Elon in it should lose the little credibility that they have.

How the hell does William and Mary continue to be ranked higher than UMass? We both have 3-1 records and UMass won the head to head matchup.

Is that a coloring book or a pop-out book. If either is true, can you send me one. I love those things, especially the coloring ones.
