Are you kidding? Why? because they beat a crappy GSU team?

[Franks Tanks]

Ya absolutey...you bet exactly 4 division I-AA teams...why not in the top 10

[walliver]

They don't deserve Top 25 because of their schedule, but .. they are better than a number of teams that are ranking in the Top 25 (who have weaker schedules).

About 30th would be right. 4 IAA wins, 3 losses, all top 25 GPI programs, and good domination of 4 d2's.

I agree... we should be right outside probably 27th-32nd... It would be nice to crack the top 25 though :rotateh: :nod: :hurray:

[redbirdtim]

Not yet, but I could see it in a couple years.

[ISUMatt]

sure why not! they could beat San Diego and they are ranked

[TexasTerror]

I put them in at the very bottom...

May be my SLC bias talking, but UCA is for real...

Heck of a first season UCA. Reminds me of Northern Colorado's first year in I-AA.

[Bear Fan 101]

The fact there is a thread debating this topic is enough for me to know that our first year in transition was at total success, and that the foundation has been laid for the future. Now is the time to build on it. This was an outstanding season, and I was so happy to be a part in the final chapter in my own way in Statesboro today!

It's Great To Be, A UCA Bear!

Just out of curiosity, what was their first year like?

[AggieFinn]

27-32, agree, the two thumpings by the GWFC squads stick out.

Yeah, that doesnt help in this arguement :nonono2:

[Ronbo]

I think UNC went 9-2 in 2003, but had 4-5 Division II games.

[peaster68]

From what i have heard, next year our schedule is all D1, no sub-D1 schools are on it
