Griz still sit at #1 in FCS poll, actually gain votes

Posted on October 1, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
Despite a very depressing and weak win at home against a now 0-4 Weber State team, the Griz team hung in at #1 and somehow gained more first place votes. Last week the Griz received 46 first place votes, this week: 52. They were helped out by a UMass loss. That loss? To 14th ranked (FBS) Boston College. It wasn't even a bad loss either. UMass hung in there with the final score being 24-14.

Here are the complete rankings from The Sports Network.
