CS FCS Top 25 Poll - Week 10

[Ibanez]

Who voted for The Citadel?

[Ursus A. Horribilis]

Well when a team is on a hot streak it gets recognized and most of the time rightfully so. You can say they are beating bad teams but those teams like SFA and McNeese don't fall in that category. They stumbled early but have regrouped and are doing real damage to anyone they play right now. Here's something to consider as to why some people are voting them high:

Those are good points and I think Sam is a dangerous team at this point because of their experience, speed, and ability to score. That being said, our run in 2010 provided the other side of the momentum argument in that a team from a strong conference, who blows virtually no one out, but gets battle tested by all those tight games, can be dangerous too.

A likely loss for Sam at Texas A&M might take a little momentum away and will likely only get them one home playoff game. If they go on a run after that they will definitely have earned it.

That being said, our run in 2010 provided the other side of the momentum argument in that a team from a strong conference, who blows virtually no one out, can take that bruising

No disagreement but the gap between the SLC overall and the power conferences is pretty narrow this year and last and we all know it is tough to win on the road. SHSU has also played only 3 games at home this year and are still making their way into the playoffs. Just sayin'...they have faced a whole lot of obstacles to be where they are right now so giving them a strong look as a top team doesn't seem out of bounds to me.

They are pretty good at the road warrior thing too.

Oh shit...I forgot about the 3 home games thing. Good point.

Albany shouldn't be ranked, IMO.

I have been saying for the past 3-4 weeks that we haven't been playing like a Top 20 team. Since Monmouth we have been slowly declining and squeaking out wins. We were still a Top 25 team until the loss to Wagner, but not Top 20. Now we're not. We got destroyed by Wagner. Manhandled.

Not a Top 25 team.

Men your school was the only one in the top 25 with a losing record throughout the season.
