Coach's poll projected at-large field:

1. Eastern Washington (3)
2. South Dakota State (5)
3. James Madison (6)
4. UC Davis (10)
5. Stony Brook (16)
6. Elon (17)
7. Towson (19)
8. Southeast Missouri State (20)
9. East Tennessee State (21)
10. Indiana State (22)
11. Delaware (23)
12. Montana State (24)
13. Incarnate Word (25)
14. Monmouth (26)

First four out:

1. Illinois State* (27)
2. Lamar (28)
3. Northern Iowa (29)
4. McNeese (32)

*Didn't have the requisite 6 D1 wins, if you take them out Furman at #33 would've slid into the first 4 out.

Hard to believe the committee is going to be looking at this hot garbage.

Incarnate Word AND Lamar in?!?! xlolx

[Prime Power]

Take out Lamar and Incarnate Word and put in Furman and UNI.

Jacksonville State at #8 is a shame. A damn shame.

They beat just ONE team with an above .500 record and lost to two teams ranked below them. They should be much closer to the 16-20 range, imo.

I just realized that the NCAA's site goofed up the poll here. They call it the FCS Coaches poll but it's identical to the STATS poll and has 155 voters (coaches poll only has about 25-30 voters IIRC).

I'll try to find the actual coach's poll and update the OP with it.

I was going to say....no way that coaches are ranking Maine above Elon!

Yeah, it's not released yet. Kind of a joke that this poll is considered an "official tool" of the selection committee when they don't even release it until after the brackets are out. I don't recall if that's been the case in the past (I don't think it has been) but it also makes it a little unfair for my "which poll most accurately reflects the selection committee" comparison if Coach's poll voters vote during and after the bracket is released.

Finally found the updated coach's poll for week 12 and updated the first 2 posts. They got 12 out of 14 at-large, 6-8 seeds, and were way off on the seed lines so basically did the worst of the 3 polls. I'll have the comparison of all 3 up shortly.
