Me neither... as a biased Maine fan.. but as was pointed out further down in
this text, both Maine and BU have the same # of "non-wins", and since BU as
yet to defeat Maine this year.. it would be hard for me to swallow BU being
ranked above them.  Sure there is a case, but a tie is not a loss.  They are
both great teams regardless.  Maybe I place more value on head-to-head then
the pollsters??  I don't know if Maine should be #1, probally not till they
get back on the winning track again..

As any Maine fan will tell you.. nothing is guarenteed!  We all cheered for
San Diego yesterday.. we figured if UMass could do it, why not? <smile>
