    Troy got a single vote in the Harris Polls, and frankly, its likely the loss to Bowling Green that is keeping them from getting more.

    Central Michigan, a team comparable to Troy is knocking on the door of the top 25, becuase they've beaten the schools they should have beaten (to include Bowling Green in thier conference).
