Hampton could be a top 25 team if they can replace TJ Mitchell. Knowing he is gone I shake my head at that selection as well. Liberty could be a top 25 team. Their biggest question mark is the OL.

I'm not saying that Southern should be on that list, but they did finish 8-3 last season. xreadx

I didn't vote for my own school in the AGS poll but I'm hard to please.

[ericsaid]

Elon would be higher, but the All american teams i agree with. Minus Pierre Banks, I think D.J. Smith will produce better and be a first teamer. Buck Buchanon award candidate for 09'.

[danefan]

Hampton could be a top 25 team if they can replace TJ Mitchell. Knowing he is gone I shake my head at that selection as well. Liberty could be a top 25 team. Their biggest question mark is the OL.

Maybe, but too many question marks for a preseason top 20 team - either of them.

[smallcollegefbfan]

Does anyone want the 2nd team All-America list or any conference order of finishes?

I had Southern in my poll. They were 8-3 in 2007 and return 8 starters on both sides of the ball including their QB (if I remember correctly).

[slostang]

Does anyone want the 2nd team All-America list or any conference order of finishes?

Absolutely. Should be fun.

You are both right. I take my xconfusedx back about Southern. Although I still think there is more deserving teams in the top 25 I can see the thought process.

[putter]

Not ranking Cal Poly at all? I could argue against a few of those teams on that list that Poly should be ahead of.

[smallcollegefbfan]

Some interesting things/errors about the picks in here:

1. They put AE on the All-America team but did not put Nichols. Nichols was the OFF POY while Edwards was the MVP. Liam Coen was the 2nd team QB.
2. Did not know that App State was playing Georgia State this year on Oct. 18?
3. They have Jason Williams of WIU on the All-America team but no Eric Schroeder of SDSU and yet Schroeder is the DEF POY of the Gateway.
4. Sean Lawyer of Cal Poly was listed as GWFC DEF POY but they have him as playing for UC Davis.
5. 2 EKU players are listed on All-America defense but neither are the ones selected as DEF POY for OVC as their DL Chris Coy was selected.
6. 3 SoCon players made the 1st team All-America list but none were chosen SoCon DEF POY. They chose LB Joseph Thornton of UTC over Banks even though Banks was on the team and Thornton wasn't.
7. Hampton QB TJ Mitchell was named MEAC OFF POY but he has been suspended.

Does Delaware St have many returners? After their game with Delaware I was surprised to see them ranked as high as they were.

[89Hen]

IMO they shouldn't be ranked after seeing them in person last year.

[smallcollegefbfan]

2nd team offense and defense are posted under 1st teams in above posts.

[Gil Dobie]

xconfusedx

AGS voted NDSU #4, is there a big difference between 2 and 4 at in the preseason?

[Gil Dobie]

Delaware was way under-rated last season. Probably could have beat anyone but App St ;)

Seems like they spread around the awards in the interest of "fairness" rather than using any logic for their assignments.

[smallcollegefbfan]

If anyone wants to see a certain conference's order of finish just tell me which one and I will post it.

Fordham returns almost all of a growing team that went toe-to-toe with UMass, and is unranked (along with the rest of the PL)

The MEAC, whose best last year (Delaware State) got ripped a new one by UD, gets 2 teams ranked

Anyone? xconfusedx xeyebrowx

I doubt Murray will come in last. I would put EIU at the top and AP would go down a few. Overall, I believe our league is getting better but someone needs to step up and make some playoff noise.

Cal Poly not in the top 25 and #3 in the GWFC.

Do they know that Cal Poly beat UC Davis on the road last year 63-28 and return 10 offensive starters and 7 defensive starters (including Lindy's OFF POY and DEF POY)? I am not saying that Davis wont win the GWFC, but I would think that Cal Poly would be ranked ahead of them in the preseason.

[Bearkats94]

That dose look a little funny having SFA rank that high after loosing every game last year. I think these guy are playing darts when they are picking these pre-season polls.xchinscratchx

7. Georgetown

Looks reasonable enough. I'm surprised they picked the Cross to win, but didn't take QB Randolph as OFF POY (esp. given he won the award last season)

Nothing seems overly out of the ordinary with these picks, though I would be very, very shocked if Fordham isn't most people's Preseason #1

8. SE Louisiana

Not saying we'll finish first by any means, but I don't see us finishing last. Last year, four of our five conference losses could have easily gone the other way, and we'll be much improved defensively in '08. We only have three conference games at home, but I like our chances to improve on our 2-5 SLC record of a year ago.

7. Hampton QB TJ Mitchell was named MEAC OFF POY but he has been suspended.

QUARTERBACK: With all-MEAC quarterback T.J. Mitchell sidelined much of the spring for disciplinary reasons, sophomore Herbert Bynes had a chance to snag the starting job. He didn’t.

Holmes said the two will enter camp in August on even footing. Holmes likes Bynes’ poise and leadership, but thinks that Mitchell understands the offense better.

I agree there may be more deserving teams for that spot, I jsut wanted to point out that they were worthy of consideration. Their 3 losses were by 12 points.

I'd have UCA as the favorite because it was a very young team last year and has an excellent player who also has the intangibles as a leader coming back at the quarterback position.

I think once Georgetown was once picked seventh when the PL was at eight, but no pre-season poll will pick a 1-10 team losing its QB, RB, and WR above last.

I really, really don't understand why he picks Fordham to finish 3rd after hardly graduating anybody and (oh by the way) winning the League last year. What exactly did Colgate do to deserve being ranked ahead of them? Losing last year to Fordham? Blowing the last game of the year to lose a probable playoff spot? Graduating their best defensive player? Suffering the distraction of the Jordan Scott affair?

I mean, Colgate is a very good team and I don't want to sell them short (for example, of course they should be picked in front of Lehigh and Lafayette), but I have a very difficult time fathoming why Fordham suffers such a lack of respect. And as others have pointed out, they played UMass very tough in the playoffs last year.

He's probably saying to himself that the PL Preseason favorite never wins the League, so he's better off picking someone else xrotatehx

Offensively, they'll be outstanding and will hang points on anyone, but I'm not sold on them defensively. They have some guys coming in who will help, but I suspect they'll be in for a bunch of shootouts again in '08.

[mountaineertider]

Quite frankly I put zero stock into Lindy's FCS Rankings. Why?

My dad went to college with him (University of Alabama '78) and the guy always was talking about football and such. So much so, that he needed my dad to tutor him in STATISTICS of all things (kind of important when anaylizing teams). Anyways, he knows absolutely nothing about any football outside the SEC and ACC, and has been dishing stuff like that out for other people to write for years. He knows absolutely nothing about FCS.

Maybe three of your five could have gone either way....The outcomes of two of them were never seriously in doubt. You and I both know you got gashed for three quarters by Northwestern, who kept you in the game because of their injuries and second quarter benevolence....;)

I don't really have to go into the other one, do I? ;)

I think UC Davis will be greatly improved in 2008 but it would be difficult to pick them over Cal Poly at this point.

Damian Perkins (Stephen F. Austin) is a Preseason Second-Team All-America pick. He was booted off the team midway last season xoopsx

For anyone who wishes to buy the latest copy of Lindy's ...

Offensively, they'll be outstanding and will hang points on anyone, but I'm not sold on them defensively. They have some guys coming in who will help, but I suspect they'll be in for a bunch of shootouts again in '08.

Have to agree with Lionsrking on this one. We will be outstanding on offense and SHOULD BE improved on defense but the proof will be on the field.

I would pick McNeese #1 and us (UCA) #2. We get them at home this year but they kicked our behinds pretty good last year giving us a dose of reality.

I know the coaches did not like how McNeese moved the ball up and down the field on us and went out and got 6 very solid defensive transfers.

Can't wait until the season starts.

I just have one question.... if FCS is a thoroughbred race, then why all the nags in this poll?

SOUTHLAND

OFF POY: Nathan Brown, QB, Central Arkansas
DEF POY: Lardarius Webb, DB, Nicholls St.

1. McNeese St.
2. SHSU
3. SFA
4. UCA
5. Texas St.
6. NW St.
7. Nicholls St.
8. SE Louisiana

Otto fad's an idiot.. He put's a delaware team that lost the core of it's offense and had a terrible defense at 9th and then put's SFA who didn't win a game last year as 3rd place SLC team above UCA and NWST that actually showed promise.

I'm as big as a Delaware State fan as they come but I feel like we shouldn't be a preseason Top 25 team just yet (especially after the UD game:( )

That guy is a great player, but ain't NO WAY he is beating out Bobby Daly for that distinction.xnodx

[AZJack]

With a young and inexperienced O-line, there is no way SDSU finishes 3rd in the Gateway. I'm hoping they do as that'll put them in the playoffs, but with there schedule it is going to be very difficult.
