[Trotsky]

That first place vote is Cornell's first since 12/7/2009.  It is the first pre-season first place vote in seven seasons.

[Jordan 04]

That first place vote is Cornell's first since 12/7/2009.  

And further confirms how silly the polls are.

[Jim Hyla]

And further confirms how silly the polls are.

And I'll go back to my thought that polls shouldn't start until at least 1/3 of the season is over. It's too hard to displace teams starting highly ranked. If the poll was starting today, do you think SLU might be higher ranked than Harvard?

Not as silly as the PWR.

[Jordan 04]

Not as silly as the PWR.

But PWR usually seems to help the conference and Cornell, so it's all good.

Except when you don't have any games, then I like the polls better.:-D

This weeks Women's USA poll is up.

[Trotsky]

It's far more forgivable now that the polls have no influence on the selection process.  In college football it really is a traveshamockery.

[Jim Hyla]

So far this is it.

Who is this Union guy?

Ken Schott, of course.

If he's being honest, then not really. He always posts his poll choices and is generally quite reasonable.
