Weekly poll results, weekly stats and a new poll.
As Winston Churchill said "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning". The team still faces a long road after a significant victory. Absence of focus and forgetting Coach Snyder's 16 points will result in a loss and a season that is less than what the team is capable of accomplishing. After the jump poll results, weekly stats and a poll.
The poll summary:

The preseason polls indicate the Cats will finish with a record of 10-2 with losses on the road to WVU and OU. The weekly polls last year were not as accurate as the preseason polls, it would be interesting to track the voting by 'primary' team during the course of the season.
