They must wait to build anticipation, but finally the D1 coaches have issued their first poll of the season. The defending champ Ducks of Oregon are No. 1. In-state rival Portland is No. 9.
Based on this poll, there should be some interesting D2 vs. D1 matchups coming: Adams State and Western State (I think) at No. 2 Oklahoma State; Chico State at No. 3 Stanford; Metro State (and maybe Western) at No. 6 Colorado. Good stuff.
A look at the rankings also gives a good indication of how D2 teams have fared this season. And I continue to be impressed at Lock Haven. Their win over Penn State just got bigger, as the Nittany Lions came in at No. 28. Of course, I'm not exactly sure who may or may not have been running, and the rankings at the bottom end of any poll are notoriously wiggly.
But I'd say Chico State got the full measure of No. 21 Cal Poly. And Queens narrowly lost to No. 23 Florida State.
