Maybe it is just hype to make them feel better before we play them??? That honestly makes no sense what-so-ever to me. For them to have the same amount as NIU cracks me up!

I just took a look at the poll and didn't see Central, but saw Colorado with 2 votes. Maybe the poll you looked at mistyped the name of a school or something in there. It happens sometimes!

Both espn.com and si.com show CMU with 2 votes in the coaches poll.

but cbs sportsline shows Colorado instead of CMU. CMU must be a typo on the other sources?

Before I posted, I checked several sources and I could not understand how any team that lost to Indiana and Mich. St., with only 1 win over a 1-A team that is 0-4 against 1-A opponents, could possibly be receiving votes. I have now checked CBS Sportsline and it has the following (no Central Michigan):
