Subject: FOOTBALL POLL

Alright, the football season starts NEXT weekend!!! The official polls are out...let's take our own poll. Here are my projections

1. Central Connecticut State 7-4 overall 5-2 conference
2. Monmouth 7-4 Overall 5-2 conference
3. Albany 6-5 Overall 4-3 Conference
4. Robert Morris 5-6 Overall 3-4 Conference
5. Stony Brook 4-7 Overall 3-4 Conference
6. St. Francis PA 4-6 Overall 3-4 Conference
7. Wagner 4-7 Overall 3-4 Conference
8. Sacred Heart 2-9 Overall 2-5 Conference

The field is so close you could throw a blanket over it!! One spoiler game either way could change the entire rundown. The KEY to the NEC championship this year will be road victories...the conference team with the best road record could very well be champs. Go Blue Devils!!!

One of the good things about the NEC MBB is that any team can win. Finally, FB is now the same way in the conference. Many unanswered questions, and we'll all have a better idea after a few non-conference games, but here's my projections:

1. CCSU
2. St. Francis
3. Albany
4. Monmouth
5. Wagner
6. Robert Morris
7. Stony Brook
8. Sacred Heart

Its kind of a home pick. I'd love to see Central win it all again, but I have a lot of questions. Albany has a defense as good as CCSU and doesn't have the coaching change. SFPA is an offensive machine, if they can play any defense, they could win it all. Monmouth is another challenger for the title IMO.

Stony Brook is the only team that I think was overated in the coaches poll. I don't think they are that good, then again they beat us last season, so what do I know!

What the heck! Here are my picks. I've been right on #1, 6 of the last 7 years.

1. Albany
2. Stony Brook
3. Central
4. Monmouth
5. RMU
6. Wagner
7. St, Francis
8. Sacred Heart

Central's last game could decide everything.

BD66 - Just wondering, but why do you have SBU so high and SFPA so low? I really think this will be a break out year for the Red Flash. I also think the coaching change and monster schedule is going to hurt SBU this year.

I agree Albany is a solid favorite, that is why the early matchup with us is so important to have a shot at the title.

J.J.
Two reasons;

1st I saw them beat Central last game in November and they have most of their starters back.

2nd - Priore from Trinity is their new coach.

We'll see at the end.

Saint Francis has some great players, but not 22, I don't see them being more than a 500 team.
