USA Today has UMass higher rated than UConn

Will be interesting to see how these "rankings" end up after 3 or 4 weeks (if they even keep them up). Umass went out to Boulder, CO for a game against the Buffs (who they almost beat last year) and got drilled 48-14 but score was not even as close as that - the Buffs took the pedal off the metal as they had 48 before the 3rd quarter ended. Umass plays Temple then Notre Dame. Their offense will still be good but their defense is really, really bad. They lose most of their top players on offense after this year too.

To top it off the Springfield paper placed their "game coverage" on the second page of the sports section. Big Papi 500 HRs and and Easthampton vs Turners Falls high school football game got top billing on page 1. Embarassing.

Turners Falls? A Railroad Salvage store used to be there. Ah, Ruby Vine.

I will never forget those commercials. And you throw out the record books when Easthampton and Turners Fall play.

This poll is a joke. UConn dropped 8 spots after winning??? The next lowest ranked 2-0 team is the Charlotte 49ers who are at #97 (we're 116) and they beat Georgia State and Presbyterian. Also a huge Sun Belt conference bias--if such a thing exists. App State and Georgia Southern are at 66 and 65 respectively, ahead of UVA (who almost just beat Notre Dame), Bowling Green who won at UMD, SMU, Cuse....how is that possible? Temple getting love at #33, but this whole thing just seems illegitimate.

That made me laugh for some reason.
