I really am very surprised that any of these polls have us ranked, but I guess beating Elon who was ranked at the time helped to make a difference to some voters. Elon is still a good team and might make some noise in their conference.

The polls are crazy. If NDSU is a top-5 kind of team, how can ETSU not be showing up either in the top-25 or at least high in ORV? WCU is getting some votes because of our showing against State and then our win on the road against a ranked Elon team. I think most people will treat the Campbell game as an anomaly until we prove it either was or wasn’t. Not trying to downplay the legit questions about our O, but realistically if we would have played a D2 or Pioneer team in week 2 and won even playing poorly, we would probably be right up there with Mercer in the rankings. That is how good/bad the polls can be until we get at least halfway into the season.

Mercer beating UTC is a huge win for them ....... beating Presbyterian and Bethune Cookman is laughable.
Do I think Mercer is capable of winning the SoCon? Yes.
Do I think it's too early to tell if they are legit? Yes
UTC is the best 0-3 team in the country. I would not be surprised if they go 9-3 or 8-4. However, if they go 0-4, then they could easily spiral.
WCU needs to have a great showing against Montana this Saturday. Is it a must win? No. But playing good against a top tier FCS team is a must, if we want to show we belong.

To be honest I'm not putting alot into these polls right now....Should we be ranked ? ......That was a bad loss to Campbell and you can't explain it away. If we show up in Montana and make a game of it like we did in Raleigh we won't lose ground but get blown out you can say bye to the polls....Again we should approach this game: Don't get hurt!!!! With a bye week after this weekend we need to get ready for conference play and let the polls fall where they may
