    Re: For those who like polls:

    UND at 16? Seems a little high imo. Wyoming isn't the best team just like Kansas. 2 weeks from now will tell how actually good the no names (UND) are. I also think SDSU at 11 is a little high. I would put the Jacks 14 or 15 for right now.

            Early season, one can search the internet long enough to find a poll they like. Here's one -- "Hero Sports" which ranks SDSU #1 in FCS. What's Hero Sports?
            http://herosports.com/college-rankin...ball-rankings/

            I wouldn't want us to be ranked #1 at any time until just after a national championship season is concluded.

            College Sports Madness has us ranked 11 last week...so we kick the stuffing out of SUU and get ranked 12 today!
            http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/...op-25-rankings

            Then there's the site, ComputerRankings.com which has NDSU #1 and SDSU #2.
            http://www.compughterratings.com/FCS/ratings
            ComputerRankings has 6 MoValley teams and 6 Big Sky teams in their top 25.

            The NCAA Coaches Poll which has us at 10 last week, hasn't come out as of this writing.

              I like the Massey Composite ratings. They average all the polls. By the end of the week there will probably be around 15 polls avearged. Right now there are 7 in and the composite has NDSU #1, Illinois State # 2 and SDSU # 3. UNI is # 6, giving th eMVFC 4 of the top 6 teams. This a composite of polls and computer ratings.

                I like Massey as the season unfolds...I also like the Sagarin ratings -- as the season unfolds.

                I looked through the Massey Composite and in case anyone is being lazy and doesn't want to look up the info, as noted by Rabbit74, MVFC has 4 of the top 6. Here's the rankings of the entire conference:
                1 NDSU
                2 Illinois State
                3 SDSU
                6 UNI
                18 YSU
                22 WIU
                26 Indiana State
                33 SIU
                37 USD
                41 MSU

                There are 125 FCS teams listed and all of the MVFC teams are listed in the top third. That's impressive.

                  this weekend's results, with the Jacks blowing out SUU and UNI beating Eastern Washington, certainly help that

                        It is a poll, and it does make us wonder is SDSU that good, or was SUU that poor. Weinke had double coverage the entire game and still managed to get his receptions. NDSU no 6? Really Jeff you are being too modest.

                          Not to nitpick, but Weineke was single covered pretty much the whole game. In only a few rare instances did they slide a safety to his side.

                            Oh I am not so sure about the single coverage. I often saw two white jerseys, but I not going to argue. I think we got a very able player in Weineke. That we can agree on.

                              Kolpack's poll seems to be designed to create controversy. Portland State ahead of NDSU in the top 5? And UND in the top 20?

                              NDSU is still a top 5, possibly #1 once the newcomers get more experience. SDSU, UNI and Ill State are all currently top 10. We will see who is for real as the season progresses. But one thing that is again obvious. The MVFC is still the best conference in FCS. The Big Sky has four decent teams. Poly, MSU, UM and EWU. After those four the quality drops considerably. Watched a bit of the UND game against Drake, I would not expect UND to contend against NDSU this week. I expect it to look a lot like the SDSU v UND games we have seen since they moved up. Ugly.
