STATS FCS Poll, Oct 09 ( Griz #16)

[IdaGriz01]

Griz nudged up one. The pollsters hammered Southern Illinois like I thought they would after their loss to then-unranked Youngstown State. They did not, however, punish William & Mary as much as I thought they would for their loss to a weak Virginia team. They also dropped UC Davis out of the top-25, which I definitely did not expect. Northern Arizona did get some votes, but just barely.

Who the hell is still ranking Weber? They have absolutely no business being ranked anymore. Hopefully Davis finishes them off this week and that will be the end of them

We're 5-1 with a road win over a ranked team. Our only loss is to NAU, on the road, who has beaten two ranked teams (including us) and lost by 1 point to the #4 team. I see the problems we have too, but that is kind of a head scratcher. Thought we would jump a bit more. Better win this weekend!

Wow! gris way over ranked at 16. This weekend will be a reality check.

I agree on Weber. NAU is now no. 39.

Ewu hanging in there with their close loses. Oh and an Impressive 3pt win over Davis. Shoot with Isu , weber, Poly, and PSU on the horizon they will be top five if they win the next four, or a couple close losses .
