After William & Mary's lost, I would move App St to #5 and SC State to #6. SC State has 19 straight MEAC conf wins and deserve a first round home game. I realize the close proximity of the 2 schools, but wouldn't a #6 or 7 ranked team played a lower ranked team?REGGIEREJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176761520701760853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644587556919650515.post-65298772293534641622009-11-21T23:10:15.738-05:002009-11-21T23:10:15.738-05:00. said...,

UNI has struggled in their last 5 games, but I would argue that they have more quality wins than Weber State even though state beat E. Wash.Marknoreply@blogger.com
