24 out of 119? Do all FCS coaches get to vote or just some kind of distributed sample?

Just wondering if this poll has a new site, the link I have for it still shows last year's stuff.

This is undoubtedly the weakest of the polls. Only 24 coaches involved, and I can promise you they don't have time to do the homework on many teams. Norfolk State getting not a single vote is all the evidence I need.

this is like most coaches polls they give the stuff to the SID's or an assistant to do the work

Technically wouldn't Cal Poly have made the biggest jump from NR to #14, still way to low in my opinion.

Thanks though for catching that. ;)
