Interesting to see Northridge drop after losing in 5 to Long Beach. Also interesting is that BYU has 2 first place votes. I figure Scates gave them one vote, but I am not sure who gave them the second.

Not surprised to see the drop but they are only 1 point back of LB and a few more behind Hawaii.

If they can split with Hawaii it should stop the slide. Issaic Knoble, RS Freshman (spelling?) has been strong for CSUN and should be pumped to play at home.

BYU better not have the same problem with UCSB as Beach or they might loos 1 of those 1st place votes.
