JUCO STANDINGS, NATIONAL POLL | Rangers ready to make run?; TJC still leads; TVCC will play a factor
EDITOR’S NOTE: The updated Southwest Junior College Football Conference standings, and below, the NJCAA’s national top 15 poll, released Tuesday, Oct. 14, a day late, presumably due to the Columbus Day holiday on Monday. This Saturday, Tyler Junior College, which leads the conference, will make the trek west to play Cisco (on the cusp of the national top 15), while Kilgore College needs to get a conference win. Coach Willie Gooden and the Rangers are home against Trinity Valley.

Haha, finally got the poll out after Columbus Day! TVCCs trip to Kilgore sounds like a must-win, though the Rangers might just run wild at home against Trinity Valley. Who knew a day off could cause such a delay? Looks like Tylers got their sights set on the top, while everyone else just hopes to not fall too far behind. Go Rangers, maybe Cisco wont be so tough after all!football bros unblocked
