I mean.....not very surprising. The SID's (coaches never actually vote in this poll) essentially just go by record and not much else. The thought of Ferris State not rolling over Benedict or Slippery Rock or Harding by 35+ points is hilarious lol.

Polls don't mean anything, blah blah blah and also I agree, but.................

At 5-2, CWU is still paying for that week two loss to NAIA Montana Tech.

Let's see how we look with next week's regional rankings. With a win, we'll be 6-0 in D2 games.

I think Charleston (6-0) deserves to be in the Top 25. At least they received some votes. Finally!

I agree Ferris should be 6 and Harding 7 but I don’t FSU rolls over Harding by 35. Not this year. Not the way the Bisons defense is playing.

This is the D2 Poll, not afca. Media members vote on this.

Uh, Check the title of the poll.

[psugorilla]

I think Ferris fell too far personally. But whatever. I'm actually more concerned about Virginia State getting a first place vote here??????????

[GorillaTeacher]

Uh, Check the title of the poll.

My Bad, I took D2 to mean D2 website.

Pay attention and try to keep up, Teach.

You should not have used "Teacher" as part of your handle. You're just asking for it. lol

I root for the underdog but I watched their game this weekend and disagree. There are 3 loss RMAC teams that look better. Not trying to dog anyone but I just can't cosign this.

Harding has played Ferris twice in the not so distant past. They’re 1-1. Both games decided by less than a TD. I’d bet you whatever you wanted to bet they wouldn’t beat HU by 35. And we may have a chance to revisit this potential wager.
