FROM KEITH GROLLER

Lehigh's 31-14 win over Colgate again elevated the Mountain Hawks in the national polls.
Lehigh moved up to No. 15 in the coaches poll from No. 17 and climbed from No. 20 to No. 17 in The Sports Network poll.
Also, the 149th edition of college football's most-played rivalry between Lehigh and Lafayette will be featured on this week's "Calling All Sports" TV show. Paul Reinhard joins me for the entire show and our guests are Lehigh's Lee Kurfis and Lafayette's Mark Ross, both outstanding senior receivers.
The show can be seen at 8 p.m. Monday on Service Electric TV2 and is shown twice on RCN-4 at 6 p.m. Tuesday and at 5:30 on Thursday.
Below are the two national polls featuring Lehigh starting with the coaches poll last:
