Early polls are (for good reason) easily dismissed 'cause, well, they're early season poll. But, there's one name on this week's Division I poll that made me smile: Wyoming.

You may recall that the Cowgirls had quite the run during the post-season WNIT, winning the title in front of a school record 15,462 fans.

Of note in the Division II poll? Delta State, of Margaret Wade and Lusia Harris fame, sits in second position behind North Dakota State.

In Division III, Texas' Howard Payne University is followed by two Michigan teams: Calvin College and Hope College. New York University sits in the fourth spot. Perennial powerhouse Bowdoin dropped from 5th to 19th. But again, it's early in the season.

Nothing recent from NAIA D- 1 or D-2, but an interesting D-2 tidbit: Sterling College coach Lonnie Kruse won his 561st game, which means he passes former University of Kansas coach Marion Washington for all-time wins in state history.
