That was what they were last night on RealTimeRPI.  It must have changed this morning.

So much for "real time"   (In fact, if memory serves, you have to pay for their up-to-the minute service?  Otherwise it updates daily?  Sometimes Warren Nolan is faster.)

I don't know that there's a common database of games.  And, I've certainly seen people make mistakes about neutral vs. home sites, etc. that can make small differences even when the clocks are synchronized.

Valpo makes it to #20, just ahead of South Dakota State.  Why did Montana jump so high last week, anyhow?

Cleveland State and Detroit receiving votes.

Oh, and ORU picked up a first place vote!

Thrashing Butler didn't do too much for us.  Up one spot to number 19.  But, the rest of the League is now receiving a total of only 14 votes.

If Valpo wins tonight and S. Dakota St. beats Western Illinois, after ORU's loss and Davidson's barely beating WCU, I think Valpo could be up around 9 or 10 after tonight with SDSU right behind them.

[agibson]

These voters are pretty stingy with the upward mobility.  I'd be very surprised if we moved more than five places.

I think you were correct.      Unfortunately Valpo will get the yank down with the loss to Detroit at home instead of the push up.

[agibson]

It's likely.  But, we might still hang around in the poll.  #25?
