The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -
Re: 9/1/08 Sports Network Poll
We dropped further than JMU who lost bad to freakin Duke. Glad polls don't matter.Selling a lot of old UNI stuff here: http://www.panthernation.com/showthread.php?t=65762 -
Re: 9/1/08 Sports Network Poll
It's just a poll, so we shouldn't really care, but you still wonder what they are thinking.
Appy State lost, and stayed at #1, as they should have. But they lost a heck of a lot of first place votes considering their decent showing against the defending BCS whatever-you-call-it champion in LSU.
NDSU beat up on the mighty Austin Peay and gained all of those first place votes.
James Madison got mauled by a lousy Duke team and fell from sixth to eighth.
Montana moved up from eighth to fifth with their dramatic victory against "bye week."
UNI put up a respectable fight against a very good BYU team and fell from third to ninth.
This is why they shouldn't even conduct these polls until at least October 1st.It's my kind of team, Charlie. My kind of team!Comment

Don't forget about EWU...."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

They only lost by 7.Originally posted by 01PantherFan View Post
Personally, I think we should be at #6, above Montana (who I think should remain around #8, since they haven't played yet), JMU, and EWU, and behind Delaware.
But frankly, I don't give a darn about polls until at least halfway through the season.Comment

Re: 9/1/08 Sports Network Poll
East coast bias - people who vote saw Delaware & Maryland play on ESPN. Many people could not see the UNI BYU game. Also, many are not believing the BYU buzz. If they beat UCLA & Washington, that may change things. Also probably a coasting on the analysis, based on losing the QB & Oline.
JMU got pummeled by Duke. I was quite surprised by that score given each program's history.
As for Montana, they are traveling next Sat to Cal Poly who just be FBS San Diego State (and finished Chuck Long's career as head coach). I am tilted to the Mustangs for that game.Comment

Re: 9/1/08 Sports Network Poll
I am pulling for Cal Poly to win, but I honestly believe that they go into the game as a favorite even without my karma. Cal Poly has already had a game to get the rust off. Montana did not schedule their usual season (and home) opener against the Veterans of World War I.
Cal Poly by 5.Comment

Re: 9/1/08 Sports Network Poll
I simply cannot beleive all the teams that moved UP by losing or not playing while we lost to a ranked team and dropped 6 spots....SIX. Delaware loses to an unranked team and moves up. App. State gets destroyed and stays number one.UNI FIGHT

Re: 9/1/08 Sports Network Poll
I tend to have more confidence in the Coaches poll that the TSN poll. There are quibbles (NDSU as #1 vs Appy State, when compared to the opponents they had to face) & MT moving up.
