TSN Poll

Re: TSN Poll

#11 New Hampshire plays at Central Michigan
#15 Richmond plays at NC State
#20 James Madison plays at Akron
#3 Montana State plays at SMU
#7 Central Arkansas plays at Colorado
#12 Cal Poly plays at Fresno State

These aren't games that we can win, these are games we should win, honestly in all of these games if the FCS team loses then it will hurt them when it comes to getting a seed.

IMO, the use of "we" is a bit of a stretch. I'm all for subdivision solidarity and all, but that's taking it a bit too far. I mean, how would you react if, say, an Iowa State fan used "we" to refer to all FBS teams.

Re: TSN Poll

makes me wonder if the CSL (at this point in the new season) still relies heavily on last year's results.

They must, which makes no sense but more sense than their rankings so far.

Still, among those Massey includes they are the outlier (the out-out-outlier).

Re: TSN Poll

I don't get all the love for Towson. They were 7-4 (6-2) last year and missed the playoffs.

Re: TSN Poll

5 MVFC teams. 3 in the top 10. It's early and these are just rankings but the MVFC is once again the top FCS conference.

we were 5-6 last year and missed the playoffs.
So far this year, Towson had a 15-pt win at UConn (an FBS team), and a 42-pt win at Holy Cross (a Patriot League team)

Is Delaware still FCS?

Re: TSN Poll

Yes - with a new HC. Keeler was booted at end of last year.

Re: TSN Poll

Wow Appalacian State is now 0-2. Isn't this their last year as FCS?

Re: TSN Poll

I see the old Drake coach has his team ranked #3. Montana State seems to be improving each season. They may be the team to challenge NDSU this year.

They were supposed to play last week. Too bad they bailed. Would have been a great game.

Re: TSN Poll

For those that don't follow AGS, Montana State reportily lost their star QB to a separated shoulder for the forseeable future. A NDSU fan implied that it served them right for bailing on them. I thought it was pretty classless, even if it was just hinted at.

did they bail just to avoid NDSU, or did they bail in order to get a big paycheck game? With finances the way they are, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to find funding for the program.

I am hoping we can challenge ndsu? Thoughts?
