Yeah, everyone is probably drawing the line in different places, but I'm going on a 5-10 yearish timeframe. UMass doesn't have anywhere near the support of Montana, AppSt or Delaware and doesn't have as many trips deep into the playoffs. They certainly could be in a top 10, but really aren't even close to being a MUST in the top 10.

This is in order although I admit I'm not as familiar with those who may fall at the end of the list.
1. App State!
2. Georgia Southern
3. Montana
4. JMU
5. Delaware
6. Furman
7. W&M
8. Montana State
9. Jacksonville State
10. Richmond
Great read, interesting thread that started in 2011, before NDSU began their run and EWU was fresh off their championship.
Re: Top 10 current FCS programs?
Interesting list looking back 10 years. Where are we now? 1&2 are obvious but I’d be interested to see a new list.

I've enjoyed going down memory lane in what was a mostly respectful discussion.

I hope this isn't in any order...
Re: Top 10 current FCS programs?
If you want to base it off of OL FU's "best of the playoffs" scoring structure these are the all-time top 10 (for teams currently in the FCS).

These numbers haven't been updated yet with this spring's playoff numbers (I'll do that once the playoffs are over).

Absurd that a team with fewer total wins, more total losses, a FAR lower win percentage, and fewer championships is considered to be more successful than NDSU. Literally the only stat they have in their favor is total appearances.
