I guess Griz will be ranked 9th after this loss.
UND should go up to 15th, but probably only go up to 18th.
 
Idaho going to Albany should be a good game
Albany doesn’t look like the team they were last year so far. If Idaho is really down on their third string QB it might be interesting. I don’t know how Albany overcomes the Vandal defense.
 
I'm surprised UND jumped up that far. I honestly think the top 5 teams would beat them by 20+

Griz just had an epic meltdown and if I were to rank the griz just based on these last 2 weeks, I'd put the griz at 19.

Not sure how we are 9 as of now. I'm sure later on in the year we will be top 5. Just not there yet.
 
Not top 25, but you have to feel bad for Northwestern State. Canceling the end of the season last year after a very unfortunate incident. Turmoil and turnover. 0-3 start to the year after getting boatraced tonight by South Alabama tonight 87-10 with a 6 minute 4th quarter.

Edit: didn’t realize this was the most points scored by an FBS team in 30+ years.

 
UNC up 10-0 over Abilene Christian??? I figured ACU would take them to the woodshed after taking Texas Tech right to the edge of the precipice….
 
By far the top 10 teams that played bad this week and should have lost were

North Dakota State and Villanova

Bison scored 2 TD's in the las 3 minutes, including an onside kick to win by 3. They looked bad and out of sorts all day

Nova, Won 14-13 when Towson missed TWO FG's in the last 2 minutes. Both were long enough, one hit the left upright and one was just a little right. Nova is the most overrated team in FCS and they were last year also.



South Dakota State was somehow slowed down by Augustana U??? 24-3

Weber State losing to Lamar is a bad loss. Has Weber EVER had a good kicker?

Portland State game cancelled by "Whooping Cough" WTH

NOTE: The Northern Iowa homers will be at it this week. They will give them credit for "hanging" with Nebraska,(Lost by 30) but will forget that they struggled with St Thomas of Minnesota.(Won by 7)
Next they go out to Hawaii.
