Come Monday where does the board project the Griz to fall too? Without seeing the results of the other games outside of NDS/SDSU where will the Griz end up? I think all the other Big Sky teams i.e. Sac State, Weber, MSU jump ahead of us.and we land in 7th spot. What say you?

Probably shouldn’t be in the top 20. They will be in the 8-12 range.
Even with the loss, the Griz are 5-1. Why should they not be in the top-20? Have you looked at the records of the top ranked teams?

But I do agree that they're likely to be in the 8-12 range.

What have they done to be in the top 20? Who have we beat? I’m not going to stand here and play the bobcat game where I tell you McNeese and morehead state are good wins. We’re top 20 in name recognition only. Until I see more, we’re 5th best in our conference at best.

6th. I'll be shocked if it's 7 or lower.
Idaho was unranked and we hadn't beaten anybody. We'll be lucky to be 9th.

The good thing is that the rankings are still meaningless.

Newsflash: NDSU hasn’t beaten anybody either. They’ve lost to the only two teams with a pulse they’ve played. Where do you have them ranked in your mythical poll?
 
I have watch ALL the top 25 teams this year and UM is a top 6 team.

All the teams from 7 to 20 the Griz would beat fairly bad.

7 Holy Cross (6-0)
8T Incarnate Word (6-1)
8T Jackson St. (6-0)
10 Chattanooga (5-1)
11 William & Mary (5-1)
12 Mercer (6-1)
13 Delaware (5-1)
14 Elon (5-2)
15 Samford (5-1)
16 Southern Illinois (4-2)
17 Villanova (3-3)
18 Southeast Missouri St. (5-1)
19 UT Martin (4-2)
20 North Dakota (4-2)
 
Without SHSU and JMU, along with UIW losing early on, the Gris will benefit big time. If this was last year they’re a fringe top 10. But as much as I dislike the gris and think the fan base does an incredible job hyping y’all up each season. I can’t reasonably say you wouldn’t smack #8-25. BUT, you did just lose to an un ranked opponent… however they are probably a top 15 team, but not top 12, probably 13-15 is fair for Idaho. Question is, do you lose that game again? UM was 16.5 pt favorites, that’s more than 2 scores. This should warrant a drop.

i had them at 17 last week will be 22 this week. In polls that matter they will be at 5-7 because of name recognition. Lucky I saw the news flash, I generally don’t read the news. You can be pissed about it if you want, but really back up the argument for us being higher than 20 without going full middle school and saying oh yeah they’re the same.
 
That's the really dumb thing about these polls, and why they are mostly meaningless until the last week of the season, UM will drop some in the polls and UI will move up. However, on the field, you have to say that UI > UM, but when the polls come out, I would bet that UI will still be ranked lower than UM. :roll:

It's why we play the games on the field and not on paper. The field is where the answers can be found. :clap:
