the coaches kept EWU over SHS even though the Kats beat them again by 2 td's? LOL.

Like last year, records were updated, but new poll not released quite yet???

ORV on coaches poll is the TSN ORV, btw.

It's possible. Haven't been following the polls closely this year.
Edit: yup, this is last week's poll on closer examination. My bad. In other news, Bison are #1.

How does AGS do their poll? Scratching my head at Maine being #11. Also, how is MSU ahead of SDSU (I know it's only one spot, but still). Look at SDSU's losses and then compare them to MSU's. Only thing I can think of is how SDSU only beat UN_ by 7, but losing to Stephen F. Austin???

If I'm looking at the coaches poll correctly NDSU got all the 1st place votes, Towson got all but 1 of the 2nd place votes, Sam Houston got all of the 3rd place votes plus the 1 second that didn't go to Towson and UNI got all but 5 of the 4th place votes.

There is no way Michigan should be ranked ahead of us. They played a bad Akron team and barely won, and the same goes for UConn.
