I'm in.

Villanova also had their starting QB back (the won who led them to a respectable start to the season) and had him knock the rust off against W&M the previous week.

We still played poorly in many...

Do you have a link or a list of the last ones in and first ones out?

I would've said Indiana State should be in over Elon, personally. I'm guessing they threw Elon a bone with only 6 wins because...

Elon won't be in.

Maine is the autobid, JMU should be a lock, I think Stony Brook is in spot #3, with Delaware likely having the nod over Towson if they give the CAA 4.

Mine FWIW:

1: North Dakota State Bison
2: James Madison Dukes
3: UC Davis Aggies
4: Eastern Washington Eagles
5: Weber State Wildcats
6: Wofford Terriers
7: Colgate Raiders
8: South Dakota...

That one scares me a bit, but today we discovered our QB can actually pass, so we're on the upswing.

I’m not sure how others do it, but I won’t rank more than one Ivy at a time. It’s hard to gauge how good any of them are with their limited OOC schedule and refusal to join the playoffs.

There...

Good question. Their resumes aren’t wildly different, I’m probably just giving JSU the benefit of the doubt because they’re established and have been good for a while, KSU is too new to say whether...

Here’s mine:

1: North Dakota State Bison
2: James Madison Dukes
3: South Dakota State Jackrabbits
4: McNeese State Cowboys
5: Jacksonville State Gamecocks
6: Towson Tigers
7: UC Davis...

I was a student at UD the last couple of years he played. He was a beast, very fun to watch. That team also had Madou Diouf, Ndongo N'Diaye, and Mike Pegues, all coached by Mike Brey before he left...

RIP Tubby.

Not only was he a great coach, but by all accounts he was a great man, who lived his life honorably and strove to be a good role model throughout.

He's an improvement over Brock. I'm willing to give him another year or two to really show what he can do, let's see who he recruits, what transfers he can entice, and where he can go from here.

UNH laying an egg against Albany is the only thing that could give us a sliver of hope, but they have the FBS win against GA Southern, the Elon win for them is about equal to our win against Stony...

The strength of UNI’s wins is why I ranked them. They’re the only 6-4 team I ranked. Without the quality of their wins that record at this point in the season would be a dealbreaker.

If Northern Iowa wins next week they could jump up considerably. They’ve just been consistently inconsistent this year.

Mine:

1: James Madison Dukes
2: Jacksonville State Gamecocks
3: Central Arkansas Bears
4: North Dakota State Bison
5: South Dakota State Jackrabbits
6: Wofford Terriers
7: Stony Brook...

Villanova no longer has Talley, we no longer have Brock, this is a whole new ballgame.

I'd rather see upgrades/updates to the current grandstands than see them tear them down and rebuild because with current building codes they won't be able to build them as steep as they currently...

Whoops, saw ETSU and thought ECU.

Howard over Hampton would give them 8 D1. If NCCU beats A&T does NCCU end up in the Heritage Bowl? That opens the door for A&T in the playoffs.

Looking at the other conferences:

Big Sky: There could be anywhere from three to five teams in play, a lot of it depends on the outcome of the SUU/NAU game. If NAU wins, EWU wins, and Weber...

If Delaware and UNH both win next week, Elon loses to JMU (likely), and Stony brook beats Maine, you could have an 11-0, 9-2, and three 8-3 teams in the CAA. In that scenario is there any way the...

Mine:

1: James Madison Dukes
2: North Dakota State Bison
3: Jacksonville State Gamecocks
4: Central Arkansas Bears
5: Sam Houston State Bearkats
6: Elon Phoenix
7: South Dakota Coyotes
8:...

Which is why the playoff system is so important - in the end it doesn't matter if you finished 11-0 in the regular season if you don't end up in Frisco.

YSU has one win they can really hang their hat on, and that's SDSU. They came within a hair of beating NDSU and Pitt, and had those games gone the other way they'd be a solid #2, but as it is, there...
