What the hell do coaches know about football anyway?? ;)

[Sammy94]

#2 again but why?? We got beat so bad last year?? Coaches don't know who is good anyway.

[Go...gate]

Colgate at #16. That may be optimistic.

[BEAR]

NO UCA? I'm sorry but to put SLU in and no UCA? To put SLU above SFA? Just uninformed. No. Just pathetic. xnodx

[Daytripper]

Coaches don't give a s#!t about polls. They base it on assumptions and past experience.

...or maybe it's still the worst. :pxpeacex

[catamount man]

WCU not even in votes for others?! Who the **** compiled this trash?!!! OMG!

[The Cats]

Who the **** compiled this trash?!!! OMG!


The SoCon compiles the Coaches Poll....... http://www.soconsports.com/fls/4000/socon/FCS/polls/2016_FCS_Coaches_Poll/index.html




The FCS Coaches Poll is based exclusively on a voting panel of head coaches in the FCS under the cooperation of the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA) and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and is administered by the Southern Conference.

I can understand not being top 25 but nowhere in votes for others? Troy Mitchell was damn good but WCU has more than him that can win games. WOW!

[FUBeAR]

WCU not even in votes for others?! Who the **** compiled this trash?!!! OMG!

I was wondering when the Cantamount Faithful would notice this outrageous oversight. WCU should have been in the Playoffs last year & has same number of Preseason All SoCon Players as consensus Top 10, Chattanooga...and doesn't even register in the FCS Coaches Poll? Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!

You can refer me to a metallurgist / milliner if you like, but I do believe there's an Anti-SoCon conspiracy out there somewhere. I thought 2 FBS wins, Playoff wins (including a roasting of the FBS wanna-gonna-be BeachChickens) and taking the FCS runner-up to OT last season would have gone a long way toward chipping away at the fallacy that the SoCon is no longer a top-tier FCS Conference, but I guess I was wrong.

Oh well, guess the SoCon boys will have to prove it on the field again this year. I'll keep my tin-foil hat on until the Playoff Bracket is announced though...just to be safe.

I think the conference, except for ETSU, is gonna be wide open and ultra competitive this season. Each team will have to bring it every week and we're all gonna see some good football. Good luck except 10/15/16. GO CATS!
