How is Akron ranked so high in this mid-major poll?  I can understand Toledo, Kent State, and maybe even EMU.  But Akron has done nothing while we have handled business against mostly quality teams and given tOSU one of their hardest games so far this year.

I once had a professor who gave a lot of discretionary points to some students because she thought they knew more than the score on their final exam showed.  Maybe some people think Akron is better than their 22-pt loss at St Mary's or their 7-pt loss at MTSU showed.  Maybe they're going by Akron's reputation.  Or maybe they heard that Akron beat UMass a couple Saturdays ago and didn't realize it was in football.

I can explain it: It's a stupid poll that doesn't mean anything and you shouldn't legitimize it by looking at it.

How is it any less stupid than MAC Power Rankings?

From the title of this thread I thought this was going to be about how many steps a dude has to take before traveling is called...3, 4, 6 ??

Fuhhhgettabouddit

it is not worth looking at.....it has no basis in anything and will drive you nucking futs

the season is young and there is no need to do anything but enjoy what has been and look forward to what is coming. We are not who we thought we were ....and we are not who they thought we were and akron is not anywhere near what anyone thought they would be....see how confusing this crap is.... mental masturbation....some guy sitting in front of a computer with no life and a captive audience.

Move on and enjoy fellow Bobcats....the RPI /SOS/Sagarins will tell you what you ned as the computer starts gathering data and regurgitating real numbers.


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

It does speak to the improvement of the conference as a whole this year that more than just Ohio/Akron are represented in the poll.

1/2 the conference is receiving votes.
