Sorry about the Fan Pre-season Poll.

I only had 3 ballots so I have obtained permission to use Hansen Ratings and will add BornPowerIndex as the final 2 ballots.

First poll I have missed in a few years.  I went ahead and add a ranking so I have something to work off of for next week.  I will have mine in for sure next week.  This should be the best thread for discussion how good each team and conference really are. 

[Ralph Turner]

Glad to have you.

You are one of the more knowledgable Region 3 fans.

If McMurry is going to lose a close one to HSU, at least knock them down in the polls.

[BSCpanthers]

This weeks poll is going to be very interesting.  Doubt any of them will match.

6?  And Berry is a better team than UMHB.

[Ralph Turner]

I expected Berry to make the big jump if they beat CMU. I still cannot get them above the pack.

Were this a power rating or statistical analysis, the first 6 teams would be within the confidence intervals of my measurement.
... not much difference at this time.

For whatever it's worth, it seems like the #6 vote is the Born Power Index, so there is no one to yell at (haha) but that index was 1 correct selection away from winning the ASC/SCAC pick em last year and won the whole thing the year before.

HSC beats W&J by 7 at home; W&J crushes #18 Grove City on the road.

Result?

�HSC ranked 23rd and W&J gets 2 total votes. Week 4 ATN bias?

I think that GCC lost its luster in the eyes of the voters and the W&J votes tell me that the TOP 25 voters could not  drop one of their teams to float W&J into a Top 25 slot. HSC floated into the Top 25 after the voters knocked out Berry and Grove City. Hey W&J got 2 votes.

40 teams showed up on ballots for which there are only 25 rankings. If an 8-2 W&J wins the Pres AC, then I think that there will be enough carnage among the teams receiving votes and the #21 - #25, for W&J to eke into the top 25.
