The pollsters nudged the Griz one higher than I expected. Kitties drop to #12, one spot below what I thought.

STATS was waiting to make sure The Official Poll looks like the teasers put out overnight before they will post their official table. A tale as old as time.
 
And in very predictable fashion the voters keep Sacramento state behind the cats even though SS just manhandled them on every level

Thanks. They got the table up pretty quick, so I was getting that ready.
 
Really glad that they put the 5-1 Griz above the 5-1 Kennesaw State ... given what we know about the K-State schedule.

I was about to post the exact same thing. I sure think Villanova has a case to be ranked higher than Kennesaw as well.

I think Villanova should definitely be ranked higher than Kennesaw State.

I know we often joke but this secondary poll looks more and more like The Official Poll every week. The least they could do is mention us in their article if they're going to copy our work
 
At the start of the season, EWU #4, Davis #5, Weber #8 and Pity Kitties #14, were all ahead of the Griz #25 in this poll. Only Weber is ahead of us now, and based on what I saw this weekend, I don't expect that to last. Definitely going the right direction. Now if we can just take care of Sac State this weekend.
 
Considering what a mess was left after Saturday, I did way better than I expected with my guesses. But then I was expecting a totally wipeout, and got nine on the nose and all but six within a couple spots.

Some interesting takeaways, however. As some predicted, the pollsters didn’t drop Villanova quite as much as I did … although I was only off by two spots. On the flip side, they were more positive -- also by two spots -- about Sac State. You don’t often see a team go from unranked all the way up to #15.

On the other hand, I was somewhat surprised by how much they crushed Towson. I had them down a “normal” six spots (lost to an unranked) and voters slammed them down by nine. Ouch!

Still, one of my “on the nose” picks was the spot for Northern Iowa. Seems like I’m getting a better handle on how the pollsters “relate” to UNI.

I knew it was chancy for Stony Brook to hang on at the bottom … and they didn’t. So a total of five teams dropped out of the top-25. I got the other four right, and even managed to pick their “replacements” correctly. And, amazingly enough, slotted two of those -- Austin Peay and New Hampshire -- right on the nose. I put Dartmouth in correctly, but the pollsters were not as “nice” as I was … missed that by three.

I also missed by three on Delaware, much like I did on Towson. I had them down by six and the pollsters pounded them down by nine. Might have to tinker with my rules when it comes to losses within the CAA.

Indeed it was. The jump for New Hampshire was even more impressive. In last week's poll, they received just 24 points, placing them at #36. This week they got 713 points (almost 30 times as many) to rank them #22.
 
If we perform like the Cats did this week against' Sac State we too will be back around #18.

Not possible.

So we beatdown ISU and are unchanged. Bye week and we move up 3 slots.

Oh, I don't know. Judging by comments on Bobcatnation, Sac State should have displaced NDSU at #1.
 
This "Coaches poll" still has Kennesaw at #4.

Coaches at Kennesaw that love them beating two NAIA teams?

That's all I can figure...

Two or three decent candidates. But Kennesaw State wins hands down, IMO. Not that they don't deserve to be ranked ... that 3-1 (D-I) record has to count for something. But them being in the top-10 tells you just how lazy/ill-informed the pollsters are.

I might be willing to slot them in somewhere around 18-22. I believe we have their game against Charleston Southern recorded. Haven't actually watched it. I might change my mind if we do look in on it ... but Chas Southern is total crap (1-5), so I doubt it. :)
