With all due respect, Sports Network polls are a joke. Massey's Ratings Service has NSU at 21 and Sagarin in the 30-something range. No way Texas Southern could beat SFA or UCA. No way Alabama State or Alcorn State could beat NSU or Sam. No way Missouri State should not be ranked in the Top 15. Massey has Missouri State ranked 3rd.

I was just sharing the poll. Missouri State should be ranked I agree, and we should be getting more votes as of right now.

I didn't mean to come off as unkind. That wasn't my intention. Thanks for sharing.

Not trying to be a pest but we can't forget to boldface Abilene Christian, they are in our conference now. That would make 8 Southland teams receiving votes. That looks pretty good, when your conference places that many teams up on the board.

No worries Storm, i know that wasn't your intent. I just like to see us receiving votes for a change.

Yea that's my mistake, didn't do that on purpose. I think ACU has done very well thus far and should make some noise in conference play.

I agree. It's nice to be noticed as a football program again. I agree with Seat 16 ... Abilene will be tough on the road. Their QB is pretty darn good.
