Transylvania just can't seem to get to #1.
Started at #2 behind Hope, then fell to 3rd after NYU moved ahead in week 1, then back to #2 when Hope lost in week 4, only to immediately get passed by Trinity (TX) in week 5, NYU fell in week 7 to get Transy once again back to #2, then week 10 Trinity loses but Chris Newport passes and they stay at #2. Pioneers do have over half the 1st place votes though.
So I expect that CNU will lose and Scranton will jump to #1 sometime soon.
Come on, just let them have one week at the top.
