The Bobcat Nation

Does anyone think either of the top three teams will drop in the poll this week?

No. The bobcats and griz should swap places but they won't because a bad win at home is still a win. The DSUs lost to FBS teams so they get a pass.

UM will go to #1

No. MSU will likely get closer to UM in terms of the voting points but I highly doubt any positions will change.

Cats move to 3. Stomped a team we are supposed to Stomp on the road. gris squeak out a win they were supposed to dominate at home.

But they did it without their one-man offense so that's worth 2 wins. - dumb voters

Most pollsters don't view it that way, some like Sam Herder think it through and make changes but most will simply see that UM and MSU both won and keep them where they are. Polls are pointless anyway at this time of year, November 23 will decide which team is ranked higher come playoff time.

I agree. I'm trying positive vibes. I also crossed my fingers. I tried crossing my toes but got a cramp. Limping like Tommy.

The griz barely winning should make them flip with us, but likely won’t happen.

Keep in mind noone knows how good the opponents are either. So flipping us would be awesome but not really fair at this point.

Voters may decide a win over any Missouri Valley team is better than a win over a UAC (I think that’s what UTU is in, I don’t care). I think this is partially true and it may be looked back on later as a quality win against Bobcats just ok win. They won’t remember the game just the win or loss.

Massey has SDSU #1,the CATS #2, gris #3 and NDSU are #4. Then Vill, Idaho, So Ill, Sodak, Nodak and Weebs...

I would think the vandals should get some love. I could see some movement as ndsu was competitive even tho sdsu played a top 20 team be interesting but at this early stage none of it really matters.

My rankings are as follows:

1. NDSU
2. SDSU
3. MSU
4. dUMb

dUMb didn't cover the spread at home.

I agree with this. I think the order will stay the same until next week at this time at which point the Griz will drop below the Cats after we thump Maine at home and UND dumps the Griz in the Alerus Center.

I am wondering about those odds next week for UND/fizz, 3pt spread going either way, before wagers start?

4.5 is my guess. The UND offense will be lucky to average 20 PPG this year.

Score looks competitive, stats don't. Oregon Idaho was a lot like Cats Utah Tech except Idaho had a long trick pass for TD.

I predict UM moves to 1 in both stats and coaches poll. Griz 2 in ags poll. Cats will be at 3 or 4

Becton dropped the gris in his poll.
