Wow. Where did you find that? I've had a tab sitting on the STATS web site poll page, and it's still not up there yet.

Edit: Got it. Haley's write-up is up, just not the table.
 
Not surprised.

I'm telling you, they had to vault us ahead of a lot of teams after keeping UC Davis at 4 last week.
 
Huge jump! One of the publications had them seeded #7 in the brackets! They’ll continue to move up! NDSU has Illinois State this week and SDSU in the future. JMU has Villanova! Lots of opportunities! Just stay on course, and continue to improve! It’s sure a great, all around team right now.

When was the last time we were ranked that high? Pflugrad's second year?
We were 6th when we went to Cal Poly in 2016.

I feel better about this year.
I mean, so do I, but I felt pretty good that year, too.

To be fair, "Why is this year different than 2016?" would be a great thread about why this year feels different.
 
Three Big Sky teams in the top 10 has got to be rare too. If the Cats and Griz can continue to win, the Brawl will be worth alot of marbles.

As it should be. My dream scenario would be to be 1 and 2 headed into the brawl, win, then meet the cats in the natty so we can beat them again.
