STATS FCS Poll (Sept 26) – Griz #3

[IdaGriz01]

As I expected, South Dakota State eased ahead of the Griz. Oddly enough the Griz got more first-place votes than SDSU.

FWIW: My guess that the pollsters wouldn't punish Missouri State all that much turned out to be spot on. (And yes, that means they stayed ahead of Weber.

Missouri State being ahead of Weber is ridiculous.

 

[IdaGriz01]

Wow, the pollsters went crazy!. Just woke up, I guess. I can't recall a poll where they dropped four teams out of the top-25, including two that won their games, one that lost to an FBS and another that lost to a ranked FCS.

The Cats at 4 is hilarious.

 

[LivingstonNative]

The Cats at 4 is hilarious.

LMAO!!!!! :lol:

 

[3-7-77]

53-16 over that powerhouse Portland State, and the Griz lose ground. Scats scrape one out in Cheney, on a shit call, and they rise to #4. WTF!!! CDA expressed it much better than I. :thumb:

I wonder how far the Griz will fall after this weeks game against that Powerhouse Pokey. :roll:

 

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Bobcats might be the worst #4 of all time

 

[DuCharme]

Missouri St. is way too high. Of their 258 yards, 67 came on a one-play scoring drive. Another 45 came in a previous drive. In that drive, they were intercepted at the 6 yard line. SDSU almost pick-six’d that. Returned it to the 24.

What is it going to take to move NDSU out of 1st.
They should have moved down last week. They were favored in the Arizona game, they lost and then played poorly against USD.
Take their past success out of the equation and they would be ranked 4-5th. They stay ranked and then get the comfy confines of the Dome.
Sorry Cat fans you guys beat two really bad teams lost your FBS game and struggled with a bad EWU team should be around 10th.

This poll is crap!
