All these rankings are designed either purposely or not to favor the power conferences. They are not designed to ever reward mid majors. Its maddening. Like in football how can Central Florida go undefeated 2 straight years and not even have a chance to be champions? Why even play if you have ZERO chance to even play for a championship even by winning every game??? And they have the balls to tell us it's all about the student athlete. Shameful.

Let's not underestimate a zone d. We have not done well against the zone and to go down against EMU would be terrible

I've never followed the polls or rankings much as I thought it was stupid for the most part even though it is exciting with UB being ranked. But I wouldnt put much stock in any of them because with so many rating systems now and using road wins when its convenient for them come selection Sunday they'll use whatever system they can to justify putting in the 8th place ACC team or whatever power conference school. The hipocrasy of telling us it's all about the student athlete and then 'screw' the small school student athlete all in the name of money makes me crazy.

Actually it's a lot of fun and should be played up more. I saw Canisius had a sign for this specific rivalry and called it the Battle for Main St. The schools could do even more to hype it up. For example, have the UB team take the subway from the South Campus to the game (similar to how the Mets went to one of their subway series at the Yankees). The city could hold a train just for UB and deck it out in colors, etc...The next year when Canisius come to UB, do the same and then take the bus from the South Campus to Alumni Arena.
