We remain at #11 in STATS FCS poll after Week 3. Move up one to #7 in Coaches poll.

Got jump by W&M (13 to 8) and Citadel (15 to 10) in STATS poll. W&M got blown out by NC State and then beat Hampton by 10, NSU by 24. Not really sure how those victories get them to jump 5 spots and ahead of us. Admittedly I'm being nitpicky as it doesn't really matter in 3 weeks.

Agreed. W&M jump makes no sense.

They won. We lost. It's stupid, but that's their reasoning. In fact, it's just lazy.

I tend to agree with the We lost, they won its simple, I was actually expecting Stony Brook to jump ahead of us and albany to be slightly behind us just due to wins and losses. ... but Its ok...cause we only have UP to go as we get into CAA and play and from what I have seen the best is yet to come..Its going to be a good year. Yes we have some tough games ahead, but be patient. why put a big target on our backs right now....word is travelling and as we keep racking up pts and winning games the rankings will come. We just have to take care of business with the old cliche 'One game at a time" if we dont hiccup we can do really great things this year..so let lets not drink the purple Kool Aid to quickly and savor the flavor. Sip some kool-aid each game and that way we will have plenty of KOOL AID come PLAYOFFS!

I think the coaching staff knows what they have and are doing an awesome job so far...GO DUKES
