Re: polls this week

Most of the polls have 6 of 10 MVFC teams in the top 25. Including the team in last place in the league

Trapped...last place? Everyone else except SDSU is tied for second to last. They might still get things straightened out. I'm not sure anyone below the top 25 is better than them. Eastern Illinois is ranked above them and they are 0-2. At least YSU have won a playoff game this decade, more than I can say for the OVC. Things will sort themselves out.

Technically YSU is in last place by virtue of the only team having a conference loss currently (plus being 0-2 overall). While I think that YSU is better than Indiana State or MSU, chaos has to be running through the Stambaugh with the loss of three key starters in two games, 2 losses slapped against expectations of winning the conference.

They get a break next week, but after that it is NDSU and Liberty which is bumping into the top 25 also. That could realistically be three or four losses in five games. YSU is a bubble team.

As for the OVC, sounds like a good place for Indiana State. As I stated on AGS, being the champion of the OVC is like being the person in the ER with the smallest gunshot wound. Good in comparison, but it really doesn't help you out much beyond that.

Re: polls this week

True, if they keep losing players things will be sorted out (as in out of the top 25) sooner rather than later.
