What exactly is your beef with Mcneese state? That seems to be your focus each week! Why don't you ask that of WIU? They lost a team Mcneese beat and mcneese lost to a much better FBS team.

Mcneese is 5-3 with 2 FCS losses by 3 points and an FBS loss by 8 points.. Who should be ranked higher? I'm sure i'm not alone in knowing that this 5-3 Mcneese team is probably better than the 7-2 teams below them!

Um, This is my first post about McNeese ever... They are 3-3 against D-1 competition, no beef just facts man... don't take it personally.

My bad, i had you mistaken for another JMU poster you said the same thing a week or so ago. Yes, they are just 3-3 againest D-I, but this ranking is not reflective of just those games and Mcneese did whip a good D-II team which is like beating a swac team. Of course we will see how it plays out.

BTW, i don't take it personally, once your here a while you'll become more educated on the teams and the long time posters.

Well xlolx, I'm educated and old enough to remember seeing JMU getting beaten by McNeese State in the playoffs in the 90's, no hard feelings. xrotatehx

Uh.....I think you are remembering wrong. McNeese has only played Jame Madison twice, both in the regular season. Once in 1995 when McNeese came in rated No. 1, James Madison took an early lead, and McNeese came back to win in the second half. That was the game where Kerry Joseph made what is known in McNeese circles as "The Punt". It made the ESPN hightlight reel for that week.

The other game was in 1996, when McNeese's training room ended up looking like a MASH unit and we went 3-8. James Madison won in Cowboy Stadium.

Other than those two games we have never played, especially in the playoffs.

so many teams have beat JMU in the playoffs it is just hard to keep them straight.....

[4th and What?]

6. Villanova Wildcats 6-2 2,110 7
7. Richmond Spiders 6-3 1,984 8



Huh? Villanova ranked above Richmond?!?!?! xsmiley_wix

[griz&beer]

OK I will say it. Webber State still to low.

[dbackjon]

OK I will say it. Webber State still to low.

Amen!

[smallcollegefbfan]

Amen!

Ditto here as well. Weber State should be in the top 6-8 at the very least.
