The UAC Still did well over-all. Feel free to post others here. The STATS one is out as well. I include the AGS poll because it is officially part of the KPI/GPI now and gets included on the playoff bracketing.

FYI, on my AGS ballot, I had Tarleton at #11, ACU at #12, EKU at #20 and SUU at #24. I did homer SUU a little, but I had been including them on earlier polls. I dropped NAU out of my top 25 after our blowout of them in round 1.

As already stated, here was the STATS final Poll.
