Re: ESPN/USA Today Division I-AA Top 25 Poll

No Montana State in this one?

[Jack]

Re: ESPN/USA Today Division I-AA Top 25 Poll

Nope, there's no Montana State. You have to remember this is a media poll. Those people have a knack of thinking they are a little sharper than most folks.

Re: ESPN/USA Today Division I-AA Top 25 Poll

Two things, firstly, it's gratifying to see us in the list of "also receiving" along with Harvard. If we were in Div II yet, our best hope would be to be in the list with the school that wants to be the "Harvard of the prairie" Irony.
Secondly, I don't understand why Davis isn't ranked a little higher. Have they been seriously challenged in a game this year? I realize their schedule might be a tad lighter than some on the list, perhaps this is why.
