Coaches Poll

I don't pay a lot of attention to either of the early polls. Still, I do find it fascinating to watch some of the big swings as these early results show up. How do you judge a team's relative strength when there are so many $$$ games being played? FWIW: Another bunch of them this coming week.
 
SIU sure earned that 5 spot jump after its huge W over Thomas More College. I know TMC was stoked to be playing in its first game as an eligible DII team after moving up from NAIA, so it was really illuminating to see the Salukis beat them. Five spots was well deserved!
 
Given their annihilation in Autzen Stadium 🏟 at the hands of Oregon, MSU was fortunate to drop only 1 spot down--I had them at # 6 or 7 after their debacle in Eugene, losing by 46 points and only by 46 because UO Coach Lanning was merciful. !!!

As I recall, the announcers were quite complimentary about how the coach was giving guys way down the depth chart some actual(?) game reps.
 
Like how Griz don't play and go down 1.
Villanova doesn't play and goes up 1
Again, in the coaches poll, this is the case.
In the media poll, we went up 1, villanova stayed at 13.
The point here is these are just polls. There is a lot of bias by region and many other things in polls and you can't just look at one of them, you really need to look at several.

Here is maybe the most biased east leaning, south loving poll you can find that actually lists Montana at #52

If you believe that, you are probably a fan of Holy Cross, Lehigh, Villanova or Furman, (or all of them) lets say. The point is, you can't judge what is going on with any of the polls and the ones that list the voters where you can break down by the individual show how biased they actually are.

Polls mean nothing, it comes down to the old Al Davis philosophy on taking care of business, "just win baby win."

Check who’s in #125 🫣
Jk most are too lazy to click and scroll, it’s Sack St.
 
Northern Colorado receiving votes is cool. Portland State is the only bad team in the conference this season.

And the Griz moved up 7 in that one!
