It would be in the AGS Poll forum I think. I will find it and post the link here for you but I believe the top 10 thing you saw was in the STATS Poll thread today.

Thanks! Very appreciated.

You were right. It was in STATS thread

here is final AGS poll of 2016 and bolded teams were in playoffs. Underline means AQ. All 14 at large bold teams were in AGS poll ! Very impressive

this is why I am saying my FU guys should be in playoffs. They have won 7 consecutive. Most by v large margins. And are already 14th in the AGS poll (13 if you take out NCAT). We play 18 Sam at Sam (17 if you take out NCAT). Even if furman loses at number 18 I don't see us falling below number 19/20 in AGS. That should make it per last year accuracy of AGS poll

agree? Or is something different this time? If AGS is spot on ,fu should be in even if they lose

thoughts ?

The AGS poll nailed the field last year as well. This was the poll released prior to 2016 Selection Sunday (autobids are underlined, at large are bolded). Grambling and NC Central weren't eligible since they were in the Celebration Bowl.

Although to be fair I think the STATS poll also projected the field correctly last year after talking out the ineligible teams and the autos.[/QUOTE]

STATS did get the field right as far as the teams in last year if I remember ocrrectly but we were fairly dead on with even the seeds was the main difference last year. Most years AGS and the selection committee differ on one team, STATS is normally 2 or 3. So this is why I say it's a bit of a tossup if your team is one of the last in and with a loss it would seem to be a bubble problem that a lot of teams are dealing with this year.

For my money I think Furman is decent in the bubble category but the committee almost always has a wrinkle so it leaves you uncertain in the outcome and that ain't no kinda fun. xlolx
