I agree-I have sometimes wondered how SJU is ranked at the beginning of a year. I think all teams should be evaluated based on the players they lose to graduation-obviously, UWW and Mount are replacing those very well of late, or with Mount the last 15 years.
Unfortunately for us SJU backers, SJU is only a solid team this year, not an elite team.
As I posted earlier, not sure if SJU is one the consistently overrated teams if you look to winning the conference and making the playoffs. Now, if you are talking about the "ranking" in your poll, then you might have an argument, along with many other teams, except for UWW and Mount. Hasn't the thought always been that absent those two, any one of ten or so teams could win the championship? It is pretty much a guess, maybe educated, as to the remainder of the top ten, you could probably switch #3 for #10 and make a good argument.

I agree in principle, but I think two or three of the 3-10 teams might be a bit above interchangeable with #10. However, given the "any given Saturday" possibilities, I also think those 8 teams have a shot at winning the Championship with UW-W and Mount present as well.

Let's hope the Montclair-Cortland game clears things up better than the Saint John Fisher-Alfred game did. To the Willamette remarks, I totally believe that they are capable of knocking off anybody in 15-25

I don't think the SJF/AU game cleared anything up, if anything it muddled the picture even more...

And if the East wants any hope of a #1 Seed, Montclair needs to win it.

Nah - the #1 seed doesn't have to pack bags and travel anywhere! ;D

But east teams can just about start packing for Alliance. ;)

The turf makes such a huge difference.  Especially late in the year. If there have been a couple of "weather games" over the course of a season, grass fields can get pretty tore up by the end of the year. Before the Field Turf, I know in  playoff games, I was always concerned with the D-Line's ability to get the traction necessary to rush the passer when a passing team would come to town.  Now it's less of a variable.

Of course, it doesn't matter what turf is down if there are six inches of snow on top of it.   :)

True Story... my career ended partly because of Alma's crappy turf back in 1999.  I got sacked by Justin Harris (can be verified by formerd3db who was the doctor that day) and between how hard he hit me and when I hit the concrete you call "turf", I sustained a grade 3 concussion and forgot who I was for a few hours.  Because of my concussion history, the doctors never let me play again.  This was week 5 in the 1999 season and Pat Coleman still has a picture of "the hit"... which was on Alma's program cover in 2000.
