Usually gets about 50% correct, so some validity. 50% of the Massey 2016 preseason FCS top 10...... ended up in the top ten.
Example - 2016 Massey Top Ten versus 2016 Actual

Wofford
I think Wofford is the biggest mover on the rankings, have them lower than where Massey ranks them. Wofford tends to struggle at home when they shouldn't (they have Furman, Western Carolina, Samford and Chattanooga at home in 2017) and their defense will be down from last year. See them losing 2or3 of the 4 at home. They have The Citadel, Mercer, VMI, and ETSU away. Have them losing 1or2 of those 4. Ayers win percentage migrates back toward 50%. 4-4. in the SoCon and 6-5 overall.
Chattanooga
Have them running the table at home and losing 2 of 4 on the road. 6-2 in the SoCon, 7-4 overall.
The Citadel
Have them 3-1 at home and 3-1 on the road, 6-2 in the SoCon. 8-3 overall.
