Surprised W&M got one 1st-place vote, considering their past two results, very surprised Delaware got only one 1st place vote, thought Wofford would be a tad higher.

So FBS move ups, such as UMASS, TxSt., So Ala. and UTSA eligible for this poll? UMass at #17 would be questionable if these FBS move ups are not.

Great turn out and selections.

they're not FBS yet, so why not.
they include other teams in the poll that aren't eligible (and/or don't participate) in the playoffs

[Wildcat Ryan]

Maybe a win vs UNC will help propel Weber into the top 25 next week, but I doubt it.

Still looking forward to the day when anyone can take this poll seriously.

It's as good as any other. Maybe better.

[EDIT] OOOPS!~ Wrong poll. MY BAD! TSN SUCKS!

no!

it will take a win over unc and then on the red inferno to get ranked. but even then a big win in cheney would be brushed aside if ewu is 0-5. and how lame will that be to play ewu this yr and have them not even ranked. that will suck. i wanted to play a #1 this yr. well there is always MSU

Hey who knows, maybe if we beat UNC in dominating fashion we may just spring to #25

still, I cant believe Sac is receiving that many more votes than Weber

Sacramento State 101
Weber State 52

[lakesbison]

wow, another poll (thats 3 now, AGS, CS) that know the difference between NDSU and und!

we didnt score enough against sac and losing to utah state does not look good.

i wanna play a #1, dont care who. we never win in missoula so playing #1 would be even better. msu could be #1 to at some point.

EWU will beat MSU this weekend, ending any hope of MSU being #1 at any point this season.

While they are in transition, apparently they are using more scholarships than are allowed by other FCS schools. Based on that fact, they should not be eligible for the poll.

[CPAlum]

Not that I put a whole lot into early season polls but anybody care to explain how Cal Poly can be ranked behind South Dakota State?

SDSU is a member of the "DAKOTA BIG 3"

[weberwildcat]

the semifinals will be

south dakota vs weber state

and

north dakota state vs south dakota state


north dakota can only hope to be included is such a distiguished group one day. but due to a pat riley copyright, the name can never be changed to the dakota big 4.

We are eligible for the polls but I doubt anyone would vote for those teams anyway. Oh wait, UMass got votes. Just because you got extra guys getting full scholarships doesn't mean shit. All TXST has is more total roster players this year, not necessarily better. In fact, IMHO, right now our team is worse than last year.

Being eligible for a poll does not equate to being eligible for the playoffs, which we are not. The BCS ranks 25 teams but how many are actually going to get a BCS Bowl berth? (not quite the same but it gets the idea across)

Then again
1. TXST hasn't dolled out the 74 schollies it is allowed because Fran hasn't deemed 74 as worthy
2. Has UMass gone to transition yet? Upped the # of scholarships to 74?
3. UTSA hasn't used their full allotment yet and they are a first year team of frosh and sophs
4. Where does S Alabama sit with schollies and what year of transition? Anyone know?

Anyway, long way around to say, if you feel like voting for any of those teams, it is allowed. Just not eligible for championships and post season

Losing to Utah St. is not so bad; losing 54-17 and being tripled in yardage is pretty ugly. Must have surprised you recalling your posts. However, who could not be convinced, after last week, that Weber is better than SacSt? Figure.
