[eldonabe]

Just for clarification on a couple things:

Polls include places after top 25 based on votes received - So Umass in the preseason poll is starting at #35 in the AP Poll and #41(t) in the Coaches Poll - This counts - so a prediction of NR would be wrong!

The "Home" game in Springfield does not count in average attendance. Only on campus home games count.
