YSU should absolutely be ahead of MSU.

[HandoEX]

YSU should absolutely be ahead of MSU.
South Dakota State and Northern Arizona are also a ton better than Harvard or Samford.

No one should be surprised at how bad this poll is. Always has been a joke, always will be a joke.

[thebigund]

This poll has joke written all over it. Not talking about UND either. Coaches should at least try and know what they're voting on

I actually think UND should be at #25. Impressed with the win. You guys may actually make the playoffs if depth holds up. The conference seems a little down.

And yes the poll is worthless

[Strommer10]

How do people have Montana still ahead of NAU?

[westnodak93bison]

Old Dominion gives up 60+ ? Not top 10 imho.

All underlined are a complete joke. Yes UND should probably be in there too but NAU not and Montana still? Really? Central Ark below SHSU? Really? Northern Iowa? Don't you have to win to be in there? I know they're good and all but they haven't beaten anyone good yet. SDSU should be in there too. Questionable choices are usually the norm for these polls but not like this. It's like they drew the teams after the top 3 out of a hat.

Regarding "joke", the correct answer is in bold.

[BisonNeil]

Farley getting lots of love from everybody! UNI ranked from #14-#17 despite being 1-3. Say what you will about the coaches poll, at least they have UNI ranked the lowest.

[NDSUguy]

some are criticizing the coaches poll but you may want to look in the mirror if you're ripping on UNI because of their record.

They lost to Wisconsin, Iowa and YSU(who is ranked #3). Due to their scheduling they have only had 1 game that they realistically should have performed well in. That game was a barnburner down to the wire against YSU.

UNI is far superior to MANY of the teams listed in to #25 (regardless of record)

Which is one of the zillions off reasons that poll sucks.

It's funny reading posts from UND fans about how bad that poll is now, but there wasn't complaining when UND got votes that were grossly undeserved last season.

I agree. UNI is a very good team and should be ranked. Saturday will be a great game.

Now that made me belly laugh. Thanks!

[totoinfl]

Lots of SOCON and CAA teams...now that conference play is maybe that will level things out.

5 SOCON and 5 CAA. 4 from the MVFC and 4 from the BSC.

CAA has 3 in the top 10. The other power conferences only have 2 each. Southland gets the final top 10 spot.

Conference wise, the numbers probably won't change but the teams might as it relates to the top 25.

Ironic that of the 4 polls posted in this thread the only one including UND in the top 25 is the one voted on by Bisonville posters....

[reformedUNDfan]

i'm still stunned at the lack of respect for ISU.

I put UND #24 and I think they MAY be better than that.

But I am in Rome right now so I have no idea what I am saying.
