Not surprising at all. Hard to deny NDSU that ranking when they're coming off of three straight championships and knocking off an FBS the first game of the season. Rankings mean nothing. We're right where we need to be at 2-0 to start the season.

Who the hell is giving Delaware votes after getting beat by 62 points to a sub-par FBS team? Maybe I'm blessed because Eastern has fared well, but I expect a quality FCS team to at least compete with mid-level FBS teams. For example, there's no shame in Southern Utah or Montana's road losses. Even pathetic Weber and ISU managed a few good plays here and there against better opp than Pitt.

And I agree, NDSU deserves the number one spot. If Eastern finds a way to beat UW, they'll deserve consideration for that #1 spot. Until then, give the top ranking to the teams getting the impressive results.

 

[DefendtheRed]

No arguments here. I watched them play Iowa State, and that's what a #1 team looks like.

After watching NDSU. I want no part of them until Frisco.

Get the #2 seed, stay healthy Saturday and run the table in the BSC. That will get EWU the #2 seed at worst. Home field through Christmas and spend New Years in Dallas.

GO EAGS

I'm on the NDSU bandwagon these days, those boys are good!

Definitely deserving of the #1 after a 34-0 run on Iowa st.
