Breaking news out of UNH (shared by a couple of emailers) and it's not good: A backup quarterback on the school's football team has been charged with murder. LINK

I heard about this but first couldn't find the link and then forgot about it. Mea culpa and thanks to a subscriber for passing it along.

Dartmouth received 14 points in the FCS coaches poll (LINK), with Harvard, Penn and Holy Cross receiving one each and Colgate none.

DROPPED OUT: No. 19 So Dakota St, No. 20 Coastal Carolina, No. 25 Princeton. Colgate received no votes.

Green Alert Take: If Dartmouth wins the first couple of games and gets votes, that's great. But, and it hurts to say it, getting voted well ahead of teams like Penn and Harvard -- before having played a game -- doesn't say a lot about how seriously the coaches are taking this thing.
