Lingering thoughts from the weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sorry guys, have been a little under the weather and I apologize for the delay in updating the blog.
Had some interesting outcomes over the weekend, huh? Did anyone think South Carolina State would defeat Hampton as bad as it did? Looks like the Bulldogs are for real big time …
Another week, another victory by Tuskegee. The Golden Tigers seem to keep rolling and rolling … is there anyone on the schedule capable of slowing them down?
Here’s a look at this week’s Sheridan Black College poll with the Shaw Bears of the CIAA making their first appearance of the season:
Team/Record
Tuskegee/8-0
South Carolina State/6-2
Grambling State/6-2
Florida A&M/6-2
Prairie View/7-1
Hampton/5-2
Bethune-Cookman/5-2
Tennessee State/6-2
Southern/4-4
Shaw/6-3
What are your thoughts on the new poll? Are you surprised that a 4-4 Southern squad is still ranked, or does that speak to the level of competition that the Jags face in the SWAC?
Should South Carolina State have jumped to the No. 1 spot after its dominating win over previously third-ranked Hampton? Or did Tuskegee solidify its No. 1 ranking with another victory — its 24th straight?
Let me know what you think about the rankings or about any else going on in Black College football.
