James Madison should be #1. To be the man, you have to beat the man.

Agree with that. I think JMU should sit on top, but it only matters what the rankings are at the end of the season.
I don't agree with his "just adequate" comment about Eastern Washington's defense. You won't find many 1-AA championship contenders with a "just adequate" defense.
What he says is that if they are just adequate, then they will be a threat to go all the way. Not that they are just adequate.
I know what he said.
I'll say it a different way ... they had a 2004 defense that was just adequate and Sam Houston State scored some 21 points in the fourth quarter of that 1-AA quarterfinals game. Just adequate - ain't good enough in December.
Their defense might have been just adequate in 2004, but the coaches got VERY conservative at the end of the game. If we had been more of a balanced squad in run vs pass, I don't think there was anyway we had a chance to come back in that game. It was one of those things when Long just got into a zone and led them back to a win.I know what he said.

Like the man said, all we need is CONSISTENT QB play to compliment our tough defense. Word in Cullowhee is we have a juco from California arriving on campus sometime later this month. I hope! GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

GSU has won more than one title with a just adequate defense. UMass also. YSU won a couple with a just adequate offense. JMU had a just adequate offense last year. It's easier of course if you dominate on both sides of the ball, but not impossible. I think that it's more important on how you match up to a particular team than where you are statistically.
