Perfection: We are down to five undefeated teams: Chattanooga, The Citadel, Harvard, North Dakota State, and Sam Houston State. Running the table in reverse is Abilene Christian, Austin Peay, Bethune-Cookman (who have really fallen off since Brian Jenkins left for Alabama State), Delaware State, Furman, and Mississippi Valley State.
Chattanooga and The Citadel play each other next weekend, Bethune-Cookman and Delaware State play just before Halloween, so at least two teams will fall off the list.
How Close Is Close: A few teams lost this week, to teams they were supposed to lose to, in close games. So how do you rank them? For example: #9 Richmond beat #14 Albany, at Albany, by 6 points in triple overtime… Does Albany drop, or does that mean we had Albany in the right spot, and they stay where they are?
Not just #9 Richmond/#14 Albany have me wondering; #16 Western Illinois over #31 Indiana State 36-35 and #22 Eastern Illinois over #28 Tennessee State 35-34 fit the bill this week as well.
The Coaches Poll 
: South Dakota State should probably be getting the 14 points from South Carolina State, which would move them up to #14 from #15. They might even get the 13 points from the South Dakota Coyotes, which would still have them at #14, but just 2 points behind Youngstown State. That being said, I put in the results that they published, even if it does continue to look like they aren’t paying attention to what their voters are sending in.
Biggest Disappointment? Who would you say is the biggest disappointment through the first half of the season? I’m leaning towards Colgate, who goes from preseason Patriot champs to mid-season Patriot chumps, with a 1-4 record and no chance of seven D1 wins thanks to a 10-game schedule.
