The MVC has 5 teams in top 10, which speaks to the power of the league. The SLC has 3 teams included. So 1/3 of the teams from two best in the country.


1 Jacksonville State (3-1) 3814 (89) 1
2 Coastal Carolina (4-0) 3705 (40) 2
3 North Dakota State (2-1) 3594 (16) 3
4 Illinois State (2-1) 3356 (2) 4
5 South Dakota State (3-0) 3242 (6) 6

6 James Madison (4-0) 3187 (4) 9
7 UNI (2-1) 3075 (1) 7
8 Chattanooga (3-1) 2776 8
9 Eastern Washington (2-2) 2532 11
10 Youngstown State (2-1) 2071 13
11 Montana State (2-1) 2053 15
12 Sam Houston State (1-2) 1986 12
13 Montana (2-2) 1897 14
14 Villanova (2-2) 1836 5
15 Fordham (3-1) 1713 16
16 Portland State (3-0) 1604 17
17 Eastern Kentucky (2-1) 1269 18
18 Liberty (2-2) 1251 10
19 Richmond (2-1) 1117 19
20 New Hampshire (2-2) 872 21
21 Indiana State (2-1) 774 22
22 Southeastern Louisiana (2-1) 719 23
23 McNeese State (3-0) 688 25

24 Harvard (2-0) 640 24
25 William & Mary (2-1) 544 NR


General Observations...

Villanova really took a tumble
The Pollsters do not believe in the Sky depth
The SLC is getting set up for travel first round it looks like.

Eligible for what? They are eligible for the playoffs and the move is next year.

The Big South is going to have to poach a D2 team or a Pioneer league team to retain playoff status after Coastal leaves.

The Sky has 4 teams in the top 16. 2 of the 3 SLC teams are barely ranked and McNeese wouldn't be undefeated if they played LSU. Your Sky hate is showing again. Try to make it less obvious.

McNeese will be at 5-0 heading into the SELU game next weekend in LC.

They're still looking decent and relatively healthy. I'm still on the fence because of the competition.

Coastal Carolina is a top team, but I'm not entirely impressed the way I have been with other top teams the last few years.

My Sky hate? It is the pollsters that do not believe in them either.

Ok. I will say I was real disappointed in Northern Arizona. They had 19 yards at halftime against Montana. They were much better in the 2nd half, but it was too much to overcome. Plus, UCLA exposed Arizona, and the Wildcats absolutely annihilated the Lumberjacks.

Did Jacksonville move up after its loss to auburn? If they did move up after losing a close game to a ranked FBS program, how often does something like that happen?

Yes they moved up after the Auburn game. Usually they will not punish a team for a FBS loss too harshly, it is rare they moved up though.

Depending on the school some get more favorable votes, such as a CAA East Coast based team.

Southeastern dropped a ton after losing to FBS Ohio last week, yet moved up in the bye week.

McNeese has given me hope, however Southeastern has owned them and has their number and that scares me

also mcneese has to play Sam and Southeastern and Southeastern doesnt play Sam


McNeese also travels to Abilene and they look good this year. so does Lamar

The two biggest games in the country this week are from the MVC

SDSU NDSU
UNI ILS

I think ILS should win but UNI is the only team in the country to beat 2 top 25's so far

NDSU SDSU should be fantastic and wished was shown nationally as it will be that high of a quality game.


Later on tomorrow or today I will look for articles to get some background on them from various papers.

Yeah, I would like to see that.

Griz @ UC Davis is the Sky's national game on Root this week.

It's regional not a national game as the Root Pittsburgh and Root SW channels do not offer.

The above link is what Southern has started for Devon Gales. It is a foundation where you can provide assistance, if wanted.

PSU having to play UND in the burbs because of a scheduling conflict with the Timbers.

LINK

quote:

UND and Portland State will play at 4:05 p.m. Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro, Ore., a suburb west of Portland.

Hillsboro Stadium, with a capacity of 7,000, hosts PSU soccer matches, as well as high school events throughout the year.

The football field is surrounded by baseball and softball fields, too. The facility, with artificial turf, has stadium seating on one side, with mobile bleachers elsewhere.

The Vikings typically play at Providence Park, but the school shares the stadium with the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer. A scheduling conflict resulted in the game being moved to Hillsboro.

Huge SLC game in Hammond, America tonight. Lamar coming in hot after hanging with Baylor for a half and beating SHSU last week. We've put up over 800 yards rushing on LU the past two years, and even without Juice available tonight, this team may be a better rushing attack than those two teams. LU has a very solid back, but playing two weak defenses may have inflated his hype some. Should be a great one, and can't wait to be in the Berry for some midweek football tonight. #lionup
