Griz drop to #3 in TSN Poll

Posted on October 15, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
The way the Griz were playing, it was going to happen sooner or later. The mighty have fallen...all the way to #3...in a poll that has no bearing on playoff seeding.

I'm glad it happened, not because it "takes the target off our back" but because we deserved it. The Griz have played awful. They're lucky to be undefeated as they play down to all the competition. You can't be a #1 team without an offense.

Oh, and the Cats dropped nine spots to 20 after their loss to EWU.
