It amazes me how JMU didn't get any 1st place votes.
Anyway, I think 16 is a good place for the Cats. They should be about the middle of the pack in the top 25.

Cats look about right, although I would like to see them above ever-overrated Hampton, and maybe even SIU or UNH - with the struggles they've had lately. (What can I say? I'm a homer). Overall, I think the poll looks good with the exception of Chuck South. I'd like to see them dropped for Monmouth or possibly Yale.

As for JMU, I just don't see any way someone could justify giving them a first place vote over App, as App handled them pretty easily earlier in the year. I realize that the Dukes have really turned it on since then, but head-to-head has to count for something. If anything, a voter taking his/her vote from App would probably give it to UMass, NDSU or (God forbid) the Griz.
