AP Poll Week 10

[ejacobson]

UNI is ranked 30th by AP poll for week 10 which is another 2 spots up in the right direction. However it baffles me further that Iowa gets huge credit for beating Illinios at home, when we are getting little credit for beating Iowa at home and LSU on the road. Also Air Force is ranked very low in both the Coaches and AP poll and they are one SCARY team.

"Others Receiving Votes: Iowa 138, Wake Forest 123, Tennessee 116, Syracuse 100, N. Iowa 32, Kentucky 31, Air Force 28, Kansas 27, Nevada 18, California 12, Vanderbilt 11, Xavier 6, Michigan 5, Iowa St. 3, N. Illinois 3, Marquette 2, Bucknell 1." (cbs.sportsline.com)

I know it means little at this point, but isn't it neat to see UNI ranked above the likes of perennial powers like Kentucky, Kansas, and Michigan?

Iowa got the credit they did because Illinois was undefeated, it was televised, they won comfortably, and they play in a high profile conference. To think, Wichita State loses to Illinois on a last second shot on a netural floor. Makes what UNI did at Wichita even more impressive. Until MVC teams are shown on TV, MVC teams will get the shaft in voting. Hopefully, between CSTV and ESPNU, MVC games will be shown in future seasons.

Anyone think it is odd that Northern Illinois (NIU), with a record of 6-4, got 3 votes? The cconspiracy theorist in me thinks that one of the many clueless journalists that are constantly referring to us as Northern Illinois or NIU accidentilly voted for them thinking they were voting for us.

i'd hate for this to be true...but you really never know. bigger mistakes have been made. but, it does give more of a reason for my favorite could-be bracket buster matchup.....UNI vs NIU. the battle for NI supremacy.

Yes!!! Holy cow!! This is crazy their RPI is 57!!! They haven't beat anyone there is no possible way they should be getting votes at this point..... Time to email the AP

[GonzoCat]

Well Washingtons RPI is 82 (or it was yesterday anyway) and they are ranked #10 in both polls!

So who knows?

[NJ Panther]

With all the times we are listed as NIU, I might believe this. How do the ballots work though? Are they simply inititals or the full name of the school with conference affiliation by them? Just curious

i think you did nail something on the head there.

Northern Illinois is recieving votes with a record of 7-4!!
