Harvard's QB is a gunner. I'm hopeful our secondary has it all straightened out by then.

Yeah, I'm good with my version of the top 25 after having watched all of them play several games this year and three in person.With seven ranked teams losing, the pollsters again had a lot to deal with. The Griz are still at #2, but the kitties have closed the gap a bit. Monmouth’s loss to unranked New Hampshire did not hurt them quite as much as I expected, but they are out of the top-10. Also, the pollsters did not reward UNH by moving them into the top-25. On the other hand, the pollsters punished South Dakota State more than I expected, but that’s really no surprise with their three-game losing streak. Presbyterian did indeed drop out of the top-25, but the pollsters are so impressed with Mercer that they did not drop Western Carolina out.
The other changes seem to be more or less as expected.

The Big South is better than the SoCon now, and that's sad.
The Coastal (nee Colonial) is a Shadow of its former self.
The MEAC and SWAC don't really count.
The OVC and SoCon have managed to stay relevant.
The Patriot League is DOA.
The NEC, Pioneer, Ivy, Southland, UAC should all be relegated back to the D2.
I'm not gonna lie though, I am biased as hell when it comes to the BSC and MVFC.

Griz performance against EWU was not "piss poor". Nice team win. Very nice 2d half by the D. Weak 2d half by O. EWU played a nice game and had a good gameplan. Their qb had a very nice game. The Griz didn't make him look good, he was good.

When Harvard is undefeated or better than Yale, it is traditional for Yale to beat Harvard in the game of year. At Yale this year.

Hahaha. This might be the least educated statement ever made. Harvard has no chance at a #4 seed.
In any sensible, reasonable world, this would most certainly be true.
But this is the fcs so....

Take off the rose colored glasses. It was piss poor. Easily the worst defensive performance all year. I don't blame the players. I blame the coaches.
I know people don't put a ton of emphasis on PFF scores, but for the season, our highest overall team grade and overall defensive grade came against EWU.
Coincidentally (or not) our 2nd worse run grade and our worst run blocking grade of the season were in that game, as well.
