Well I tried to change it up this week and talk about USD...

[Mr. Burgundy]

Let me get this straight....USD get absolutely curbstomped by Illinois State who has 4 D1 wins...but remains unranked, and UND who was off is now in the top 20, and they have 2 D1 wins. Drake a non scholarship program and their gatorade bath bowl in beating Southern Utah who has now lost to all 3 Dakota schools and Cal Poly? Is that correct? There isn't an avid fan from either USD or UND that could tell me that they should be ranked. Some people must just look at UND as being 4-2 and rank them or something. We won't know about UND this year, they never do play anyone.

You should have put that in Purple. USF is WEAK. It is a shell of the team that went to Grand Forks the last time. I fully expect a blowout.

I know you were throwing some smack with your comment but it will look dumb when UND curbstomps USF at the Alerus.

I to expect a blow out. Whole different coaching staff and they just are not as good as they were a few years ago.

We were so close in points last week, I think some people must have had UNH ahead of NDSU and when they lost we moved up in those polls. Giving us the needed points to barely overtake MSU.

What I don't understand is how they got ranked ahead of NDSU to begin with.

Since W&M fell off the CAA has been out of the top 5. People feel wrong about not having a CAA team in the top 5. Thats how.

[Herd]

Just my opinion. When the Valley doesnt have elite teams in a given year, the whole conf is downgraded. When thed CAA doesnt have elite teams and they beat each other up, the whole conf is being upgraded.

Imo, the top confs are SoCo, Valley this year, not CAA. Nine teams in the top 22, give me a break.

Fair point but I still see caa as the top conference. top to bottom is very deep with quality teams. it doesn't have a top end elite team right now but delaware jmu maine towson richmond w&m unh clearly shows their the best overall conference. right now id go caa soco then valley
