The CSN Coach's poll for 10/2 came out today, and they have 6 Gateway teams ranked in the top 29...YES!!! Out of the 6 ranked GFC teams, the IL St. Redbirds rank the highest at #5, YSU's Penguins claim the #8 spot, the SIU Salukis hold down #9, UNI's Panthers (coming off a tough loss @ Iowa St.) rank #13, then it's the Leathernecks of WIU coming in at #27, and rounding out the GFC lovefest it's WKU's Hilltoppers climbing to #29.
Man, that is one tough I-AA conference with only the MSU and IN St. programs struggling. Can't think of ANY other I-AA conference that has three fourths of it's teams ranked so highly. Sure, it's a bloodbath almost every week out, but the Gateway fields IMO the BEST (in conference) I-AA competiton in the entire nation....love it!! :banana:
