I was thinking we should keep all three rankings (TSN poll, coaches poll, & GPI) posted in one spot as the season progresses since this could impact our playoff participation. Thus far only the TSN poll has been released.

We need to finish in the top 16 when all 3 are averaged out to be assured of a playoff spot.

[bigsmooth]

good idea manson. do you want that posted as a sticky??

[RagingTireFire]

GPI won't come out until October.

[Chris Lang]

I don't think that coaches poll has been updated yet. All of the point totals are the same from last week.

[jcmanson]

Yeah, I think you’re right. I was wondering why YSU was ranked so high.

[Chris Lang]

If YSU is still ranked when the polls come out, something is wrong.

Something is wrong.

[Chris Lang]

Yes, there is. And I have a huge problem dropping Eastern Washington nine spots for a seven-point loss at Colorado in which the Eagles led in the fourth quarter. Poor, poor job by the poll board on that one.

[bigsmooth]

time to start proving our worth this week at western

[phoenix]

I like this guy --> http://petespoll.com/petespowerpoll.shtml

Liberty's #12.

[Champion]

I don't know about this poll. According to the early rankings LU as a #12 just edged out a 3-point win over the #68. A scary omen for the rest of the year if you put any real validity into his numbers.

[Mixitup]

Yeah! Is YSU really a # 49? Don't let our players see this.

[Pinckrock]

Remember, polls are just that, a poll. I don't care how much science you surround it with, a poll is subjective, thus, not a science.

[SuperJon]

25th this week in the AGS poll.

[LUconn]

As stupid as that poll is (UNH got a #1 vote), it means a lot because we get such little respect there.

[Cider Jim]

So we beat a DIAA school and don't even move up one spot???

[jcmanson]

Cider, the polls that count (TSN & coach’s) haven’t been released yet. In the AGS poll we weren’t ranked last week. Also, our very own Beej votes in the AGS poll.
