Looks like two pollsters* were impressed with the Johns Hopkins and St. Thomas win on Saturday.

One moved JH from unranked to top 10
Another had UST unranked now top 15

  :o ;)



*Unless one of the two didn't participate this week, because it looks like we're down someone from last time.

The Bethel votes are interesting to me.

Preseason especially, but still week 1 as well. You could make a good case for them above Whitworth, Muhlenberg, Hardin-Simmons, and even North Central (who they beat at NCC in the playoffs last year).  But I can also see why a case could be made for several above Bethel. But people voting them in the low teens or even 20's preseason is just strange to me. Especially with all the talent they had returning.

Same with UST. Someone not ranking UST is just out to lunch. Yes, they were 3rd in the MIAC, and if they'd gotten in as a Pool C (not saying they should have with 2 losses) could easily have played in the quarterfinals. And now they're ranked 14, because they blew out a really terrible team? That's still too low IMO, but also seems like a weird jump considering they didn't beat a good team. If they weren't good enough to be ranked last week, why are they suddenly jumping at least 11 spots on a ballot?

All that to say, fun to watch the polls develop. I've voted in years past, but know I won't have the time to get a ballot in consistently. I realize how much work it is!

I agree with you on Bethel, I have at #7 (and UST at #10).

I think I'm the only one high on R-M, having them at #15. I also had them at #15 to start the year considering they finished 2018 strong with a playoff win and they bring back a lot (9 on D and a very good RB). After losing Saturday to #7 Johns Hopkins - by just 5 points - told me I had them right where they should be, IMO. I didn't want to drop a team ranked in the middle of my top 25 for losing to a top 10 team by just 5 points. Reason being, that was the expected outcome between two teams ranked where they were. Now if they were blown out, then yes...I would have dropped them drastically.

Also, I'm the only one that didn't rank Wesley. I'm holding out to see if they can prove themselves against a challenging opponent. Yes they destroyed a D2 school. But that was Franklin Pierce's first full year in D2 after being a member of the Collegiate Sprint Football League  ??? I'm guessing many unranked D3 teams would have similar outcomes if they would have played FP.

I have Bethel 6th in the West, so it's comparable for me to rank them 17th. I think it's an "FU Pay Me" year for St. Thomas.

BUT....after UMHB and Mt. Union, there's not much difference in many teams except the order I put them in, as it were. I'm pretty low-ish on IWU and Wheaton in the North, too, but only because I think John Carroll and Wabash are just a skosh better.

It's your ballot Smeds. But UST lost to Bethel last year, and then had their entire D graduate and their QB. Linfield and Whitworth did what last year to justify the love this year?

It's just a little "ISLAND" love.  :-*

It's a FU season, man. And a hunch.

And last year isn't this year, ya know. Linfield going to Rowan and pounding the profs rather justified it.

I don't let anyone influence my voting unless they deliver a cache of unmarked bills in a satchel to the bridge in the Umtanum Creek Recreation Area.

Ballot will be up tonight. Still waiting on one ballot but they've been given their final warning for the week.

This is not going to be fun trying to sort out the middle of my ballot. Teams losing to higher ranked teams, a loss to a non-D3, teams winning tight games, upsets out west. My ballot from 8-18 had a rough week.
