Beating #2 on the road and we not only get left out of the top ten, we only move up to 12?

Voters must think the SoCon is bad this year. That's hogwash.

As always it will all shake out in the end

I figure that we will be eighth in the final poll, provided we get past Furple. That should give us a home game in the second round. Hopefully, the bracket will splinter like it did in 2007.

So.... Let's see, a #9 Stony Brook defeats a hapless 2 and 7 VMI team and moves up 3 places in the poll... same as us that defeats #2 GSU on the road... Screw this poll!

Wow, these polls are pretty brutal. I try to always look for positives, so at least we are back in front of them Wofford puppies in the polls again. Beat Furman! !
