http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER Style points don't count. Wins do. That's what the FCS national football rankings continue to prove. Despite barely hanging on for a 17-14 win at Georgetown on Saturday, Lehigh has moved up in both national polls. The Mountain Hawks landed at No. 9 (up one spot) in The Sports Network poll and climbed three places to No. 7 in the Coaches Poll.
