Re: Week of Oct. 26 - Polls

I am glad EWU is getting a ton of respect b/c it helps UNI out if they take care of their bussiness but I wonder why, go look at their schedule and how easily they could have 2/3 more losses. How can WIU drop out of the top 25 with a loss to the #3 ranked team in the country at their place and another loss by 7 to to the number 1 ranked team.

FCS Gridiron Power Index:

UNI ranked at 15 1 of 2 teams in the top 37 with a losing record, shocking YSU another Valley team is the other one. To me this seems to be the most legit measure of FCS football. There is no doubt UNI is in if they win out!
