Possibly, but not likely. NDSU still probably gets the majority of the #1 votes.

 

[Rjones61]

It'll narrow the gap in votes, but it won't bump them. They'll have to lose another to get moved down and even then it won't be far.

 

[EWU98]

Agree

 

[clawman1]

May be a good example of the theory, if you are going to lose lose early. I don't know if the Eagles are worthy of #1 but certainly higher than Jacksonville St, Chatanooga, or SHSU based on our body of work.
I can see where NDSU could stay #1 but I doubt it. They lost mid season at their place to a conference foe.
#1 EWU
#2 NDSU
#3 SHSU

I don't necessarily think we should be at #1...but a 4-2 SDSU over us with our resume? No. :roll:

Exactly. They are going to punish NDSU for a bad loss, but not punish SDSU for their bad loss against Cal Poly?

kind of a head scratcher.

I don't think either loss is a bad one, but wow, I think these guys are smoking crack.

New Stats poll has us one spot ahead of NDSU at #3. Not sure if I agree with that but I'll take it.

 

[FormerEag]

Though the simple rating has us at 51, so definitely not the craziest poll out there.

FWIW, I'd keep NDSU at #1. Given their habit of winning in the playoffs, they deserve a higher rank when the record is the same. Now if they lose a second, down they go. But with everyone having one loss at this point, I'd take them as #1 based on historical evidence.

personally, I'd have Jacksonville St at 1, NDSU at 2 and EWU at 3. Sam Houston is undefeated playing patsies.

That was the end of last years SRS. I don't know when they put one out for this year. We would definitely be very high on that list if it were done right now.

[EWURanger]

NDSU is still the #1 team in my book. SHSU and Jax St are good teams, but just a step below where NDSU is, IMO.

 

[kalm]

The AGS poll is better than the Stats and Coaches polls and has us at 1.

I think you can make a case for EWU, NDSU, JSU, Sam, or The Citadel.

 

[clawman1]

Actually a #1 ranking makes that target on our back even more attractive so a 2,3,or 4 may be a better place to be anyway.
