Polls

I know polls don’t matter blah, blah, blah.
But, what are the chances that the gris move ahead of the Cats today?
It doesn’t look like they will in the coaches poll, maybe in the Stats Perform poll.

I would be surprised if the Griz weren't ranked higher. Cats will be 8th-10th and Griz will be maybe 5th.

FCS nation still have the Cats at #3. Makes sense I suppose, although Tarleton has a nice claim to the #3. Gris should probably drop a spot or two after that marginal performance. There needs to be punishment doled out for scheduling D2.

Considering both the Cats and griz have the same number of D1 wins I would be surprised if they were ahead of us.

We lead the nation in quality losses. That has to count for something.

I'm guessing it goes: SDSU - NDSU - Tarleton - MSU - Ill State - griz

A double OT loss to the #2 team means we drop 5-7 spots? Come on…

There is a solid chance we stay at 3, but 4 or 5 won’t surprise me. It’s early in the season where a lot of movement can happen week to week, but no way do we drop that many spots.

Tarleton moves to 3, Cats to 4, Griz to 5

[GoldstoneCat]

Tarleton moves to 3, Cats to 4, Griz to 5

That feels like they got it right.

After week 2 they have two teams with zero FCS wins in the top 5. That has to be a first.

I would be shocked if the cats fall out of the top 5

That Gris schedule is striking to me every time I look it up.

Theu should sleepwalk to a 10-2 season.

They were 5-2 at home last year. If they go 6-2 that’s a success for them. The ceiling is 9-3. They struggled with CW despite CW not having tape on them.

You know UND will have tape on them. Or...they might make it a challenge and go no tape?

I think Massey is being nice to the Gris. Massey has them by 2. UND SOS is 21, the gris are 104. The CATS SOS is 2. UNDVis 4/17 in off and def, the Gigi’s are 6/11… So it is a coin toss. Will be interesting.
