EWU is #1 in field recognition. Everyone else is tied for second.

Proceed with your defense.

Their fan support is thinner than high school cafeteria soup, so that's why they're not in my top 10.

But not that much worse than UNH, Wofford, or Richmond who made a number of lists that EWU didn't, two of which have never won a NC and have half as many playoff wins, and one of which has never made it past the quarters.

And having NDSU on the list ahead of us is equally as strange. To each their own.

But you don't get to throw out last year, do ya? We might be a bubble team if you rate stadium/attendance of on field performance.

You are a bubble team because of stadium/attendance. I said it earlier, if we went only on performance last year, you're #1. But that's not what the question was.

BTW, this is all opinion anyway. I have no problem with somebody putting EWU in the Top 10, but at the same time I do have a problem with somebody who thinks they MUST be in the Top 10. There are only a couple of universal teams that really MUST be there to be credible IMO... AppSt, Montana and UD.

I can take this one. No problem.

Dude, they won a National Championship in 2004 and have won a total of 2 playoff games in the 6 subsequent seasons. xscanx

If that doesn't qualify a team to be Top 2 or 3 on this list, what does?

Capiche?

Agreed, but putting Wofford, UNH, and NDSU ahead is an odd opinion and if you don't do that you start running out of teams pretty quick.

Of those three, I only have NDSU on my list. That has mostly to do with attendance, wins over Kansas, Minnesota and Ball St, and in case you didn't hear, they kinda got jobbed in their semifinal game last year. :p

It all has to do with your definition of program. Which is more important attendance, proformance, conference affiliation, playoff participant, jealousy, facilities or do I just like or dislike them.

1) App. St.
2) Griz
3) Hens
4) G. Southern
5) UNI
6) JMU
7) Villanova
8) Salukis
9) Spiders
10)UNH

On the brink: EWU, Wofford, Mont. St., NDSU
