You must have a firm grasp on poles, the knowledge needed, to agree with DBM on the subject.

Sorry DBM, it was just teed up so nicely.
Missouri State and Delaware are ineligible for the pole as they are ineligible for the post season due to their transition. I usually don’t agree with Herder, but now that NDSU isn’t just running away with the FCS every year, he has become more balanced. His vote makes a lot of sense and he justifies all his movements.

I will say this much about the poll: I think it's kind of lame to drop the Griz after a win when #1 and #2 teams hold on to their spot after losses. Yes, those were to FBS teams and I don't think they should lose a spot, however If you're going to give them the benefit of the doubt for week one, then that should apply to other teams as well. But what would the pole be without some inconsistency?

How is Stan Becton so bad at his job and yet he remains employed? Usually only government workers can be that incompetent and still have a job. It's mind-boggling.Who cares at this point? It’s the end of week 1, and we are collecting ammunition for the locker room board. There is only one pole that matters and that’s in November. Go Griz, FTC.
Also we know what an idiot Stan Becton is. Check out his vote for this pole. Should make everyone chuckle.
Stan Becton's Week 2 Stats Perform FCS Top 25 Poll ballot

You are right-on. A poll at this early point in the season is meaningless. Just take care of business and that is all that counts.
If your going to punish SDSU for playing a top big12 team then no one will play good FBS teams. The poll is based on how teams performed. SDSU did fine, NDSU nearly beat Colorado, MSU is the only FCS over FBS, and gris barely beat a team that has never made it past the first round in the playoffs. Gris deserve to drop after that performance
I don't care what you think about anything. Go away.
It has been known that FBS losses aren’t supposed to punish you. Sorry that your school didn’t want to play an FBS team

Question for you...do you have a life outside of the 23 hours per day posting on an opponents messageboard?

if we would have lost I would say we take a big tumble down the list if we would have blown them out I say we would be 2, but neither of those things happened..
Follow up question is, if he's truly a cats fan then why doesn't he post on their board more than he posts on ours? 9/1 posts here vs BN.
One of the preseason polls had them receiving votes, so I assumed that wasn't the case.Missouri State and Delaware are ineligible for the pole as they are ineligible for the post season due to their transition. I usually don’t agree with Herder, but now that NDSU isn’t just running away with the FCS every year, he has become more balanced. His vote makes a lot of sense and he justifies all his movements.

Makes sense if so
When poles are having problems with inconsistency, they make a little blue pill to help that.
They are definitely ineligible for the playoffs, but I thought they could still be ranked. The Ivy's can be ranked even though they don't participate in the playoffs.
