I know it's only one point but how in the fetch is an 0-5 BSC MSU team getting more votes than a 4-1 3rd place Weber State who gave the Bobcats their 2nd most lopsided loss?

This poll is trash.

Win the next 3 and the Griz will probably be sitting in the 12 to 15 range, maybe better depending on other losses above them. They'll be locks for an at-large bid.

Lose one more... going to be really tough.

Nice. We're ranked 20th in the nation but we probably are the 4th best team in our conference. The playoffs are going to be filled with deluted teams this year..

Unless there are losses, I can't see the Griz jumping 8 spots. The last 3 teams are weak and voters may not give them that much credit....

I'm basing it mostly on losses by teams ahead of them. They stand a chance to creep up 1 or 2 spots each week assuming they win and there's a few losses "in front" of them. For example, EWU plays Poly this week. While it'll be a hell of a game a Poly loss could sink them to 20 or so, maybe more since it's at their place, and the Griz would presumably notch up one or two.

Yea, good point. I did not look at the schedule. Just seems that voters look at the past and base decisions on their SOS, especially at the end of the year. IMO, 8-3 and Montana gets a home game and a return trip to Cheney in the 2nd round

This poll is trash.

The fact that msu is getting ANY votes is just proof that associate admin assistants fill out the voting form at most schools, and they vote on names they've heard of and by color of the teams "outfits" they really like.

Yep - I see today the new bracket out has us going to UND in the 2nd round and then the winner of that game would go to NDSU.

That'd be a pretty favorable set up, IMO.

First things first, need to win out. We'll be in and guaranteed at home for a 1st round game.

Yeah, I'll take that.

 

[putter]

I agree. Much better match ups than being sent to EWU

You'd lose to both UND and NDSU on the road... and the NDSU one wouldn't be pretty.

Maybe, maybe not, but I want to play too.


You'd lose to both Tech and Whitworth on the road.....and the Tech one wouldn't be pretty.

I really, really, really hope this works out!
Go Griz!
