- The Granite State stock is rising!
- Keep an eye on Albany. Their QB is legit!
- CCSU is Top 25 good...
- Stony Brook and Delaware are sinking. Rocco is not a next level coach imo...
- Preseason Top 20 Colgate (0-7) is truly horrific...
- Georgetown will have to wait another year for their first playoff appearance...
- JMU is definitely NDSU's only threat. 'Nova Top 5...
- The PL is still a mess....
- Yale is once again a pretender...

I certainly expect to see CCSU and Dartmouth make their first a Top-25 appearance this season.

In the CAA, fully expect Maine and Delaware to drop out and be replaced somewhere by UNH.

Does SBU and Towson hang on and how does Albany and Monmouth compare on paper?

HC seems to be the class of the PL, but how good is that this season?

Tough questions - no good answers.

Towson has been unjustifiably overrated
