i think both polls look pretty accurate based on last year's results. however, i did have several thoughts:

In division 1, is chapman deserving of getting a few first place votes. we all know they're really good, but do people really think that they can win the wcll in their first year with a new head coach? or for that matter, is it appropriate to give them first place votes having not played a game under the new coach?

In division 2, are the top three teams really that superior to the rest of the conference? Irvine seemed to lose a lot of scoring, as did Biola when they graduated 6 seniors.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Of the top five teams, only one team has the same coach as last year. Expect things to change when the season comes around. I never put any weight on pre-season polls. Worthless in my opinion.
