It’s no fun to do the poll guesses when the Griz lose, but here goes anyway.
Guess, Team, (Record), [Current Rank]
1 Sam Houston State (8-0) [1]
2 Jacksonville State (7-1) [2]
3 Eastern Washington (7-1) [3]
4 North Dakota State (7-1) [4]
5 Citadel (8-0) [5]
6 Richmond (7-1) [6]
7 James Madison (7-1) [8]
8 Charleston Southern (5-2) [9]
9 Chattanooga (8-1) [10]
10 Villanova (6-2) [11]
11 North Carolina A&T (7-1) [12]
12 Western Illinois (6-2) [13]
13 Cal Poly (6-2) [14]
14 South Dakota State (5-3) [7]
15 Youngstown State (6-2) [15]
16 North Dakota (7-2) [17]
17 Coastal Carolina (6-2) [18]
18 Central Arkansas (7-1) [19]
19 Grambling State (6-1) [21]
20 Samford (6-2) [20]
21 New Hampshire (6-3) [NR]

24 Lehigh (7-2) [NR]

Given that the Griz were playing the #3 team at their place, they might not fall quite as far as I dropped them. However, losing by nearly 20 points doesn’t look so hot, so they might even drop another spot. But that puts them right in among other 3- and 2-loss teams, so that looks about right.
I think the pollsters will hit SDSU pretty hard (maybe even harder than I have). They were on the road, but they got thumped by a team that still has a losing record after pulling off the upset. Not good.
I left Samford at the same spot because they played Mississippi State pretty tough before running out of gas. Of course, Miss State isn’t a very good FBS team, but still …
I’m pretty sure the pollsters will drop the three teams at the bottom of the list that lost. So I needed three candidates to take their places. Trouble is, five of the teams lurking just out of the top-25 also lost. Anyway, I gave UNH the biggest bump out of the “Others Receiving Votes” because they absolutely pounded #22 Stony Brook. I stuck the other two in at the bottom, but I could see Lehigh moving a bit higher.
