After seeing the lunacy of the Sports Network poll the past few weeks, I decided to add in the Coaches poll from now on. Unfortunately, I think that one might be even worse.

Yes, The Citadel lost to Chattanooga. But do they really deserve to be dropped down to #22 in the coaches poll? They beat #8 AND #14 and that’s a way better resume than most of these teams have.

And how exactly are we ranked so high? Montana isn’t even ranked anymore, so basically we have wins against 3 decent unranked teams. We lost 52-28 against the only ranked team we’ve played.

Sam Houston State at #9? They’re 2-2. Sure 1 loss was against Baylor. The other was against the only ranked team they’ve played, #20 Central Arkansas. So basically they haven’t beaten anyone.

Perhaps the most unbelievable example is that UNI is still ranked #22 in the Sports Network poll, yet they are 1-4 on the season. If you only count D-I wins they are 0-4.
