Trying to accomplish two things here for this list in 2018.
1. Teams properly sorted and placed in conferences and vetted to be sure I have this correct for the schedule.
2. Sorting out the list of names that I will have to amend for the 2018 AGS Poll.
This is normally done behind the scenes but I figure it is a good discussion to have out in the open and get this all set up with as much input as possible and as much knowledge as we have around here this should not take too long.

-----------------
Additions for the 2018 year will be:
Idaho Vandals - BSC
* Not yet sure on the Vandals eligibility for the AGS Poll. I am going to call the BSC office at some point and see if I can garner wheat they see happening for this season for the Vandals.
-----------------
North Dakota is that move this season or next?
-----------------
I am including UNA under the schedules as an Indy for 2018.
They will not be eligible for the AGS Poll until they are eligible for either their conference title or a national title when they complete their transition. They will be moved to the Big South in the schedule in the 2019 season.
A link to my assertions:

-----------------
Names to be pulled from the list(s) are:
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
Liberty Flames
-----------------
What about Hampton? They don't have a home for 2018 right? They join the Big South next correct and are not part of the MEAC this season as I understood it. So Indy for the this year I guess? Any input?

-----------------
Presby is to remain in Big South until 2020 form what I see. Any other opinions on this one let me know.

-----------------
So with these issues out there for discussion what else am I missing? Are there any other teams going in or coming out or moving around for either the schedule or the AGS Poll for 2018?
