The TSN Poll following the Week 3 games is out, and UMass moved up 5 spots from 16th to 11th despite losing to Michigan. I don't know if that's so much a recognition of the difficulty of playing Michigan that close as it is due to so many teams ahead of us losing this week.

Don't know why we're still behind William & Mary, which barely survived Old Dominion this week.

I thought I saw in the poll a couple weeks that W&M got a 1st place vote....after losing to us.

Wm & Mary apparently have a stronger PR team. Wink

If we play the rest of the way, the way we've played so far and our opponents do the same, the schedule sets up very well for us. Very Happy

Also puzzled by W&M's continued climb in the poll.

Beat me to it Outlaw. #8!! I love it...I wouldn't have believe me if you told me this a month ago but now I do. I really think we have something this year and Morris is starting to win me over.

Also ranked 8th in the coaches poll.

The pollsters obviously think W&M and UMass are pretty much equal. We have the same records (3-1). But we won the head-to-head matchup. UMass should be 7, W&M 8.

Well, we have a true playoff system, and need to rely less on polls.

Don't know why 1-3 teams would be ranked. Confused

With the quality of our conference right now, if they shifted away from FBS/FCS and back to the old distinctions would it be I-A and I-CAA?
