We should actually be tied at #9 and not #10 as the poll indicates, based on the number of votes.

There is probably a tiebreaker for number of higher votes.

I thought we would have dropped a couple more places than that. I certainly hope we can prove that we deserve to be #10 this weekend. Go Red!

I submit as evidence the poll from 10/18:

USA Today still pending

I'm also surprised that we didn't drop so much, but seeing that Maine and Denver split their weekends while NMich lost, noone really gained any ground on us.

There don't seem to be many runaway teams this year, at least early on. Most of the usual suspects have lost to some mediocre teams this year...MSU included. Heck, BC's one loss was to Notre Dame.

...however BC won beat the Irish in the game that matters...

LGR!

(and BC football )

Very surprising. Last year when they tied and lost to Western Michigan, they dropped like four or five spots IIRC.

MSU's a better team than WMU and this year's games were away. I agree that we should have dropped more though. A #10 team is in a solid spot for the NCAA tournament, whereas I think we would be a bubble team based on results to date.

Also last year against WMU we were 0-0 going in and not 4-0.
