Wait, its an AGS poll, which means nothing IMO. I'll wait for the Sports Network poll.

Exactly.

AGS = ECB.

x3, this poll is useless.

It is based on popularity and looks the same year after year.

Ok, how about a couple of you who think it is so bad take a crack at it and list your top 25.

1. Sacramento State Hornets
2. who cares?

Really, at this level there is so much turn over and other factors that come into play it is almost impossible to predict a Top 25. Like I said, let's have it determined on the field and not by a bunch of biased, chest pounding fans. Especially since most of the fans on AGS are East coast biased.

We're just barely done with spring ball. It's WAY too early to start generating this cr@p. As bad as the B(C)$ is, you ever stop to wonder why they wait before putting out their list? This is exactly why. Given time, folk will fall out of favor with their coaches, quit, come in, have breakout years, have setback years, coaches can get fired way too late (see the Kitties). One cannot know now how events will unfold. I simply REFUSE to speculate at this point. There are WAY too many unknowns.

Since we won't be in any pre season top 25 poll this year with a 3 win season, It doesn't matter who else is in the top 25. Our goal this year is to finish in the top 25 and make next years poll. However, it's still OK to have opinions about others who are ranked. Keep up the chatter, it won't be long, camp in 2 months.

That's the great thing about spring ball being so late...camp is right around the corner!
