MY TOP 5
1. QB DeAndre Presley, Appalachian State, Jr.- 127-199, 1663 yds, 15 TD, 1 INT, 63.8%, 157.9 pass eff., 207.9 yds/gm, 100 carries, 644 yds, 6.4ypc, 10 TD in 8 games.
Presley doesn’t have as strong of a hold on the number one spot as he hasn’t been as sharp and even threw his first interception of the season this week. However, he still has an impressive ratio and leads the number one team in the nation.
2. RB Taiwan Jones, Eastern Washington, Jr.- 134 carries, 1078 yds, 10 TD, 8.0ypc, 134.8 yds/gm, 16 catches, 290 yds, 18.1ypc, 2 TD, 3 PR, 28 yds, 9.3avg, 11 KR, 224 yds, 20.4avg in 8 games.
While Jones doesn’t leave the nation in rushing and he has missed time due to injury, he has shown the last two weeks that he is the most explosive player in FCS. His speed, versatility, and big play ability make him likely to finish as high as number two if he keeps this up and I project he will so therefore I moved him up.
3. QB Matt Barr, Western Illinois, Sr.- 164-262, 2438 yds, 23 TD, 3 INT, 62.6%, 167.4 pass eff., 270.9 yds/gm, 72 carries, 398 yds, 5.5ypc, 5 TD in 9 games.
Barr has WIU ranked and looking good to get in the playoffs at this point and is coming off a gaudy performance. His 23-3 ratio, 167.4 pass efficiency rating, and 28 total touchdowns make him a good looking top three vote getter.
4. QB Jeremy Moses, Stephen F. Austin, Sr.- 232-371, 2618 yds, 23 TD, 3 INT, 62.5%, 140.7 pass eff., 327.2 yds/gm, 11 carries, -60 yds in 8 games.
With their loss this past week Moses is not looking as attractive as he has been. He is below Barr in both pass efficiency and total touchdowns while his completion percentage is lower as well. He should still finish in the top five but is no longer a lock to finish in the top three and there is a good chance he won’t, if Barr keeps up his recent play.
5. RB Nate Eachus, Colgate, Jr.- 235 carries, 1295 yds, 14 TD, 5.5ypc, 161.9 yds/gm, 12 catches, 115 yds, 9.6ypc in 8 games.
Eachus leads the nation in rushing and we all know how the nation’s leading rusher is likely to finish in the top five. His 5.5 yards per carry and 14 touchdowns land him fifth on my ballot as of today.
My thoughts:
The only reason Scott Riddle fell out of the top five is the injury but it would still not surprise me to see him finish in the top five because of his career achievements. Coleman was dropped after throwing five interceptions and potentially killing their chances at a playoff berth. Mike Brown leads the nation in total offense while Josh McGregor leads the nation in pass efficiency and have become definite names on the short list of preseason front runners for next year.
