I don't know about you Sue but I sure do LOVE seeing a school such as Wisconsin Green Bay up so high in the polls! It's nice to see some very small/mid major schools up there with the likes of Tennessee, Rutgers, Ohio State, etc. Very refreshing.

I'm also enjoying the parity this season. Who would have put Delaware that high? It's fun not knowing who will win the 'ship this year.

I also think it's great seeing Delaware, Wisconsin GB and even the Zags making some noise.

What I found sadly absent is the lack of Pac12 schools, except Stanford. I thought at least UCLA and SC would make some noise nationally this year. Both teams have a lot of talent but have taken some knocks this season. UCLA has as many injured players as they do suited up. And 2 are starters. SC has also taken some hits with injury. It seemed like the Pac12 (10) made far more noise last year.

Fully agreed: expected more from the Pac-12, and it makes me sad.

And of course now all the arrogant folks out there who like to say the West Coast isn't anything will jump on this one.
