Time again to post your ranking of the 15 teams playing this fall. Reminder that everyone can participate - this is not just for registered pollsters.

Let's keep up the good discussions of how individual posters ranked the teams as well. Tabulation of the consensus will be around noon Eastern on Thursday.

All of the on-field results for the week were losses to FBS teams by margins of the sort I expected. One new team with performance to assess (ACU) and second data points on a couple but most of the list is still a crapshoot.

1 - North Dakota State
2 - Central Arkansas
3 - Austin Peay
4 - The Citadel
5 - Jacksonville State
6 - Chattanooga
7 - North Alabama
8 - Houston Baptist
9 - Abilene Christian
10 - Campbell
11 - Stephen F. Austin
12 - Eastern Kentucky
13 - Missouri State
14 - Mercer
15 - Western Carolina

There will be at least two more FCS wins in Week 4 (assuming no cancellations).

EKU at El Cid and Mo State at UCA.

0-15 against FBS opponents. A couple of heartbreaking losses but losses nevertheless.

WOW, I'm really impressed you're so concerned with my picks. I feel special to be singled out by you, even if it is to belittle my picks. What a great guy you are.

The question is what do we do with Southern Ill and SEMO since they only play one game later in the season while others have resumes with 2020 game experience?

We'll stick with the 15 this week.

Quick question about going forward - do we want to keep a Top 15 vote or have each of us rank all 17? Simple vote of the group will determine. In case of a tie, vote by ursus will count double to make the decision (if no vote by ursus, I will use a coin flip).

Victim mentality....

Discussion of each others’ rankings is part of the ‘mandate’ of this fun effort. If you’ll stop playing victim for a sec, you’ll notice that El Cid had commentary on my poll last week. I had commentary on yours (only to assist you in correcting a minor mistake), Scrappy’s, and Ursus’. Others who are ‘playing’ had comments on others’ rankings. That’s supposed to be the fun of this...I think.

So - 1) As much as you want to make it so, it’s certainly not all about you; not in the least & 2) If your rankings are above commentary / questioning without butt-hurt whining...maybe you should reconsider if this space is safe enough for you or not.

That said....I’ll try again...

Any big news out of Cullowhee that caused WCU to jump up in your rankings? If so, I’m sure SoCon fans and others here would be interested in learning about that if you’re willing / able to share.

All 17...if others make similar announcements, we should go up to 25...and if the number exceeds 25, add ORV to whatever number the ‘normal’ poll does...if that’s not too much of an effort to calculate / produce. Appreciate you doing this OH...keeps us FCS addicts with a little ‘taste’ during this ‘silly season.’

Regardless of the number of teams we each select weekly, I will report the results for all teams included. Only 11 participants last week (hoping for more as we move forward) so the calculations are easy to manage. Not like 80+ voters selecting 25 from among 125+ teams.

I've been on the board long enough to know I'm safe here, since 2006, how about you?

as far as what's coming out of Cullowhee this year, a new QB and a new DC. Will it make a difference, Catamout fans, always optimistic, hope so. However, our HC started a new 5 year extension on July 1st, so we got that going too.......

I'd prefer listing all 17 (up to 25 if enough teams add games), but the tabulation to list a top 15 (actually, maybe 10) with ORV

Last call for votes. Tabulation to be done around noon Eastern tomorrow.

Will also use the votes cast to determine how we do the poll going forward (rank 15 or all 17 teams) at the same time.
