This weeks poll has Mount St. Mary's receiving 4 votes. Does that sound right? Does that make our win more impressive? Was shocked when I saw that.

my guess is that it's four people who don't know the Gaels are just St. Mary's.
Darn. I thought this thread was going to tell me that we had been voted No. 1.

I'm saying they should be #21 with 4 more votes

My bad. Agreed
Really you think four voters actually messed that up? If that's the case strip away their voting privileges for careless work.

This guy put Mt. St. Mary's at 22, probably meaning to put St. Mary's there instead.

Considering we almost had a 40 point lead and ND beat them by 26 that's why they definitely messed up

Well, either they confused St. Mary's and Mt. St. Mary's or they voted for MSM to be ranked. Neither speaks too highly of their qualification to vote. If I were betting, I'd bet they confused the two schools.

These aren't the nuclear codes. It's a simple mistake.
But I guess they once threatened to strip Steve Spurrier as a coaches pollster because of his tradition of always giving Duke a pre-season #25 ranking in football. (They were usually terrible when he was coaching but did it to honor the place that gave him his first head coaching gig.) So I guess anything is possible.

So Crean finally found a job?
If Mount St Mary's picked up 4 votes after we beat them by 21, I imagine Purdue will be a unanimous #1 after beating us.

I'm looking for IUPUI to get 4 votes.
