Poll guesses

[BWahlberg]

Hard to punish teams for either winning or losing in a play-up game but if the poll is to vote on the team that has had the best week it should be Montana at #1. However I'll bet you that we get into the top 5 for now.

Looking at the top 10 results:

1. SHSU - beat NAU 42-16
2. JMU - beat Morehead St 68-10
3. SDSU - beat Colorado State 42-23
4. NDSU - beat Albandy 28-6
5. UD - beat Maine 34-24
6. Weber - lost to Utah 17-40
7. SIU - beat SEMO 47-21
8. UND - beat ISU 35-17
9. UM - beat Washington 13-7
10. J'Ville St - lost to UAB 0-31

Who's win was the most impressive? Ours.

Did anyone above us suffer a "bad" loss? No

If I had a guess I'll bet it goes:

1 - SHSU
2 - SDSU
3 - JMU
4 - Montana
5 - NDSU

This is what I'm saying.

You aren't "punishing" NDSU, JMU, and SHSU by moving SDSU and Montana ahead of them, you're rewarding those two for their stellar performances that warrant being at the top so far this season. They aren't dropping, they got passed by.

Somehow, magically, UNI will be ahead of the griz.

right or wrong UNI almost took Iowa State down and they were like #7. Both should be pretty high up the poll. I doubt anyone is looking to play either one next week.

No... Epic fail, the top 3 didn't beat anybody. Colorado State has never been good that I can remember.

Patience people. Griz are right where they need to be for now. Long season ahead and plenty of time to move up. Important thing is to not move down one spot. Playoffs this year could be epic. I think everyone is really happy with game 1 results. :clap: MSU remains #1 in the preseason poll as expected.
