Rockne's Top Ten (5 Games) - Season 140

We are back for an update in the rankings. My decision to exclude teams with losses, regardless if it was to a top team, and those that have played all SIMs sure caused some changes in tonight's poll. Additionally, there were four other teams that received votes that weren't listed in the top ten yesterday nor were able to make the top ten today. Before the results are revealed, I would like to thank the three coaches who took the time to submit their votes. Hopefully, more will join in and provide their opinions.

#10 (previously 7th) - Winona State - Beat 0-5 Virginia Union. Schedule is unimpressive with only a game against #58 SW Minn St of any interest. Team will have a hard time staying in this ranking.

#9 (previously 6th) - New Mexico Highlands - Beat 0-5 Clarion. Team has a couple of good wins with two challenges coming up.

#8 (previously unranked) - Bloomsburg - Handily beat #61 Presbyterian 31-10. Two solid wins and one disappointing loss to Northern Michigan. Two tough games coming up.

#7 (previously 5th) - Southern Connecticut - Beat #16 Lane after being featured on the Game of the Night. Team will be challenged with two top 20 teams left on their schedule.

#6 (previously unranked) - Cheyney - Solid rebound win against #34 Western New Mexico 41-7 following tough loss to Humboldt State. A couple of interesting conference games left to play.

#5 (previously 9th) - Long Island - Beat #74 Colorado-Mines 69-13. One good win and two difficult games left.

#4 (previously 4th) - West Liberty State - Win against #43 Lock Haven 31-20. Game against SW Minn State and the rest SIMs.

#3 (previously 3rd) - Northern Michigan - Beat 2-3 Washburn-Topeka. Only game left against human is currently 3-2 Saginaw Valley State.

#2 (previously 2nd) - North Alabama - Beat #46 Albany State 70-0. Three wins against human teams ranked in the top 46. Has three conference games against humans.

#1 (previously 1st)- Humboldt State - Beat 4-1 Northwest Missouri State. Two impressive wins against top 15 schools and two more challenges coming up.

If you like to participate in this ranking, please site mail your top 10 (with or without comments) to omcs1981 by 8 PM central time. You can submit your top 10 just once, every day, or just when you have time. For it to continue, I must have at least one coach provide their rankings each day. Thanks and hope you enjoyed the article.
