I know that some (many) will say that all preseason polls are pointless, but the first Coaches Poll just came out and three MAC schools received votes.  Temple earned two votes, Central Michigan and Northern Illinois each received one.  That would put Temple in a tie for 47th and Central Michigan and Northern Illinois (among others) tied for 49th.  Here's a link to the first poll:
