When an article is written in the MSM referring to HC vs #20 Monmouth, which poll is the sportswriter generally using to label an FCS team with a ranking?
With the internet it's kind of like the wild, wild west regarding FCS rankings, predictions, etc., but that is much better than the past when you had to hunt for an FCS mention among all the FBS coverage on major sites.

A poll entitled Congrove Computer Rankings (collegefootballpoll.com) has Holy Cross at #21 - up ten spots from last week.
Their top three are JMU, N.Dak State and Sam Houston in that order. This poll shows Princeton at #10, Dartmouth at #12 and 'Nova at #15.
As for our to-date opponents, the poll shows Monmouth at #27 (down 12 spots), Yale at #35 (up 1 spot) and Merrimack at #38 - just one spot behind Harvard, which jumped from #50 to #37 based on their big win against #123 Brown.
The team that shows up dead-last (128) is Lehigh. Other PLs are Fordham (71), Lafayette (85), G'town (108), Bucknell (109) and Colgate (111).
One additional note: This poll's SOS measure must be based on the entire slate of opponents as HC shows at #98 and Harvard shows at #96. G'town and Brown, collectively, are certainly not rated higher than the combination of UConn, Merrimack, Yale and Monmouth.
Discuss.

My goodness - Lehigh is dead last in FCS rankings. How does Gilmore keep his job after this season, especially if they get blown out by Lafayette?

They are Merrimack's only loss Maine comes in at #90. Down ten spots after their 41-14 loss to FBS #113 Northern Illinois. BTW - The poll has UMass and UConn ranked #128 and #129, respectively, out of 130, and has Chestnut Hill CC ranked #19. |

Patriot 12. MEAC 13. Pioneer Will be interesting to see what this looks like at the end of the year. A few comments: -Both Lafayette and HC get to play Harvard. Two wins might (slightly) move the needle, depending on how Harvard fares in the Ivy League. - Fordham still has to play Wagner and I assume they’ll get a W. The only way that win helps the PL is if Wagner turns it around and pulls off some upsets against the top NEC teams. - A very interesting game coming up is Monmouth v Princeton. Who knows how that will turn out, but a Monmouth victory could help the PL. - Lastly, if Colgate can knock off Cornel next month, that should help our cause. Bottom line, there are still a few non-league games left that could potentially help the PL move up. |

What in God's name is the WAC/AQ7??? "For at least its first season in 2021, the relaunched WAC football league will be branded as the ASUN–WAC (or WAC–ASUN) Challenge, with the WAC establishing a temporary football partnership with the ASUN Conference. The ASUN plans to start its own FCS football league, but not until at least 2022. Under the partnership, three FCS progrms that are joining the ASUN in July 2021 will play alongside current WAC members.[7][8]" |

No in-league flying needed except once every two years to GTown and three out of seven FB members are storied Jesuit schools with four other fine institutions. |

I have never been a huge PL fan but it’s nice to have some stability in a league with strong schools who are mostly a long bus ride away.

What in God's name is the WAC/AQ7??? Defending national champ Sam Houston is in this league. A lot of moving parts in the Sun Belt region within FCS -- the Southland and Ohio Valley Conferences are on the verge of completely falling apart. The Texas schools from the Southland joined the WAC along with a couple D2 move-ups. The Atlantic Sun is also going to start sponsoring football with a group highlighted by Jacksonville State, North Alabama, Central Arkansas and Eastern Kentucky. |

If we beat Harvard, we have a really good shot at an at-large playoff spot, in the event that we lose to Fordham or Lafayette and finish second at 5-1.
IMO Harvard is under-rated right now, mainly due to the Ivy having sat idle for so long. They absolutely destroyed Brown (was 42-0 at half), who a week prior was fairly competitive with a URI team that is receiving Top 25 votes.
