IS CHATTIN' CITY HOOPS WITH JOE
Although the Division I football season doesn't start until tomorrow, the region's Division II and Division III schools have already kicked off.
Since we'll be hearing from their coaches throughout the fall at the weekly football luncheons, I figure we should get a head start on things by looking at the early results.

While we're at it, let's start our weekly comparison of the Division I polls with a look at the preseason rankings. It's worth noting that there is no Philadelphia representation in the AP poll. The only Pennsylvania voter is Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The full list of AP voters is here; that page also includes links to each writer's latest ballot.
Note that there is no Harris poll yet, and of course there is no BCS poll yet either.
