A slight shift in the poll with Mizzou losing this past Saturday. The top six teams remain the same, below that is chaos again. FSU and Alabama tied at the top of the poll as a result of a very split first place vote: there were 9 voters and the plurality was only 3! The top ten teams seem to be rather set with a drop off of 20 votes coming after #10 Clemson.

If you want to vote in each week's poll please PM me by Sunday night and I will have the poll out by Monday! :)

Interesting that i've seen other people, including USA Today, ranking NIU ahead of Fresno but for some reason the media and coaches with the votes have the two of us separated so much.

Toledo and Buffalo with 8 & 7 cotes, respectively? Hmm...I don't know about either of those.
