Wow! Way more than the usual amount of bull puckey in this one. I don't give a damn how "good" their losses are, a team with a losing record (YSU) should not be ranked in the top-25.

And Weber wins, but drops out ... and NAU wins big and still can't get in. But, as I said in my poll guesses thread ... anything could (and did) happen with so many good teams bunched at 5-2.

Just noticed something else: Just 47 votes separate #22 from #25.
 
The only thing about this poll that I agree with Big Sky wise, is that Southern Utah should be ranked, they have beaten 3 ranked teams after all.
 
This poll = nonsense, rubbish, and garbage.
A sub .500 team (YSU) ranked in week 8? What a joke.
 
Big sky will have to start winning in the preseason and post season in order to get our rep back up to where is use to be.
 
Bias against the Big Sky is strong yet. NAU getting hosed, no reason to drop the Griz 3 spots other than the EWU loss to SUU makes the MT loss to them look worse maybe? YSU? Heck, I guess the whole MVFC is gonna get into the playoffs no matter how many games they win. What a load of tripe.
 
Coaches Poll is worse - Griz #27.

As Knute Rockne said, the only poll that matters is the one at the end of the season. Or maybe it was Ara Parseghian.
 
Does seem a shame to see the team dropped during a bye week. Yet the polls don't really matter.

Playoff slots aren't based on the polls. It will come down to the number of wins and losses.

If this Grizzly team wants a ticket they need to go down to Weber and collect the win, then come home and beat Northern Arizona. Get those two items done and they will rise in the polls and more importantly secure their playoff slot. :ugeek:

That is a misquote.

It was Harvey Weinstein who said the only pole that matters is at Shotgun Willey's in Denver.

In the words of the pollsters. Who cares if you beat Weber they aren’t even ranked or in the Mo Valley. NAU? They aren’t ranked either. With the way these polls are going UM could win out and still be ranked 17-20th. But I’d YSU wins one more game they probably are gonna be top 15 for sure🙄

Nailed it, I suspect. :(

I believe that it was Rockne that said it. Although, many historians believe that he meant "pole" in reference to his penis. Apparently, Knute was quite the swinger in the off season.
