I like how Sam Houston St has quietly risen in the ranks of the FCS this season.

I like how Sam Houston St has quietly risen in the ranks of the FCS this season.

True but not everyone left on the schedule is 0-5 or 2-3 type teams :)

[Squealofthepig]

separated into groups where the difference from the team below is greater than 200 points:
(snip)


This is actually a pretty interesting way to look at it, especially since I found teams I voted for in several similar pods to theirs (except Indiana State, which I had higher; Delaware, which I had lower; Maine, which I had higher; and SIU, which I didn't rank (I had North Dakota in the same type of pod). It is interesting that there's quite a bit of agreement on who the top 8-10 teams are; a general agreement down to about 20; and then lots of ORVs.

Didnt say there was. So I am guessing you are saying we havent played anyone worthwhile?

[PaladinFan]

I must ask.

UTC is ranked at 2-3. They recently lost to the Citadel. The Citadel was beaten by Furman. Furman is 3-1. Furman's only loss is to 4-1 Coastal Carolina. Coastal's only loss is to Georgia.

I'm fine with Furman not being ranked, but how do you rank UTC over Coastal?

Agreed, whether UND is in or out of the top 25 is debatable but at this time they should be ahead of SUU.

[Kemo]

Agreed, whether UND is in or out of the top 25 is debatable but at this time they should be ahead of SUU.

Can't say I agree with this at all. Though head to head match ups are important to consider, the victor does not automatically claim the crown of the better team. SUU's resume is clearly superior at the moment with quality wins over Sac St. (beat Oregon State and Montana) and UNLV (FBS) compared to UND's victories against Drake (DI non scholarship) and Black Hills State (DII), so essentially their only true DI win was against SUU, and the victory was by less than a TD.

Not saying SUU is or will be better than UND at the end of the season, but currently SUU being ranked ahead of UND can easily be justified. Just remember, the final polls are all that really matters anyways, besides the playoffs of course.
