Not out yet today, but place to discuss Sagarin. I wonder if there will be some early swings due to getting non-conf football that was non-existent last year.

Now that I think of it, I bet it won't be until tomorrow due to game tonight.

NDSU's rating went up 0.68 after week 1, but dropped in the ratings from 2nd to 4th among FCS teams Valpo is 4th from the bottom in the ratings and is a 45.5 point underdog at NDSU.
It's OK to not be OK.
Most comical thing I saw in national polls this week was UNI not being ranked; not sure what planet those morons live.....its like they can't accept just how good the Valley is.
BTW, many on social media are ripping on Sam Houston being ranked by some #1.....I watched that Northern Arizona game; they beat them like a red headed stepchild just like a #1 team should. They basically have everyone back, so I am not getting the disdain for Sam when they showed how good they were last year.
*FCS media and coaches voters
Voters on AGS are pretty good. Most take the time to do what you say and take the body of work into account. I would argue that AGS as a message board has become pretty worthless to read, but the poll is good.
1/2 on AGS this week is interesting. SDSU is in first place by a single point, but SHSU received 29 first place votes compared to SDSU's 20. JMU/Montana/NDSU ranked 3/4/5, but fairly close together in points. UND ranked 8. UNI ranked 16.
It’s really gross to NDSU at 99!!!! What the actual F? It’s just doesn’t look right. We used to be in the 35-45 range. I know it means nothing but its so gross.
