And Iowa State will most likely be 2-2, considering UNLV is a winable game for them. They got a tough road playing at Iowa and at Texas before us. -
you really think those teams will be dropped for losing to BCS teams?Selling a lot of old UNI stuff here: http://www.panthernation.com/showthread.php?t=65762Comment

Yes, they lost a game. Bottom line. They will drop early in the season but will gradually make it back up to the top. We will be one of the few (if any) top teams undefeated going into that game.Originally posted by Rob Weiss View PostComment

I doubt all three will drop below us...but it definitely could happen! ASU was somewhat competitive, Montana played tough for 3 quarters, and UNH will score some points against N.W. I'm not saying we won't be #1 coming from the 4 spot, but it isn't set in stone like it would be if the top 3 in IA lost. Also, even with SDSU losing to a DII, they aren't as much of a gimmee as Drake was (IMHO). I think we win that one convincingly, but stranger things have happened...Originally posted by Rob Weiss View PostComment

Honestly, I'd rather not have the bullseye on our backs....but it will be there...."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."

I am a voter in one of the polls, and I kept my top 10 relatively the same as my pre-season with the exception of Montana State. IMO, unless the 1-AA team got blown out from the beginning of the game, they shouldn't receive drastic 5 spot drops in a poll. A win vs. a 1-A deserves some respect, since it happens only 1-5 times per year. So, did UNI move up in my poll? Yes. But, a lackluster performance vs. a 1-A and I will have to drop them like I did some teams. That's just my opinion though.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.Comment

I have been a voter on the poll the past 2 years (not doing it this year...too much effort deciding who is #17 and who is #21...etc...)....and eventhough I do believe the AGS poll to be better than Sportsnetwork....sportsnetwork is still official....and App State and Montana will not be #1 and #3 after week one in the sportsnetwork poll."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."

Actually, SDSU lost to DIII (non-scholarship) Wisconsin-La Crosse, at home. Obviously, I'm biased, but UND will give the Panthers a better game than will SDSU, or Drake for that matter.Originally posted by uniwatcher View PostComment

Wow, what a bunch of crap. I guarantee that if UNI was #1 and lost to a IA school, they would fall.Comment

Not to worry all. I'd prefer we earn the # 1 ranking, instead of Dougherty thinking we're # 1.Always a UNI Panther.

Many would say that polls in general don't have much meaning at any time given how subjective they are.
And most would agree that they hold even less meaning this early in the season.
Personally, while I suppose it is nice to be ranked and all, I can't really get too upset about it. I'd gladly take wins over ranking any day (or like last year, where we kept beating higher-ranked teams)Comment

#1 at the end of the year is all that counts.Comment

This is what I thought sportsnetwork would do.....
