The respect is coming slowly, but its still not all there. Although Delaware was bumped up from 23 to 19, UMass is still ranked ahead of them at 14. Two weeks ago, Pat Devlin threw four touchdowns and the Hens smoked the Minutemen, 43-27 (and it wasn't even that close). Add in the fact that the Hens have more wins than UMass (the Minutemen stand at 4-2 and the Hens stand at 5-2) and Delaware brought the No. 1 team in the country to the final seconds in a game Keeler's squad should have won.
At least Delaware is ahead of James Madison this week as opposed to last week's poll which placed the then 2-3 (now 2-4) Dukes ahead of the Hens.
Delaware's only decisive loss was to the No. 5 ranked William and Mary Tribe. It's hard to decifer what it is the Hens need to do to break that top 10. Lets hope the same people who vote on these polls don't make up the playoff selection committee come late November.
