Mountaineer is now the keeper. we need to find him. It breaks down playoff success so those that don't participate too bad. He breaks it down for lots of different time periods. Haven't seen the one after this year. He may still be trying to determine how to count the expanded playoffs.

Sent him a pm just to make sure he sees this. He's been on here lately so I think he'll see it and respond.

good, he made me one promise. If he ever got tired of being the keeper of the spreadsheet, he would give it back to me.
But he does a much better job than I ever did.

The original poster set the parameters for ranking. I think UNH has been a Top 25 team since Santos showed up on campus and your school gets props for that.

The fan support is there as the UNh average game attendance is higher than the capacity of the stadium. Also you could say that UNH is doing all of this with some of the worst facilities. They have a handicap that no other top program has to overcome
Re: Top 10 current FCS programs?
I hate to say it, but whatever the criteria are, you'd be hard pressed to say that neither Harvard nor Yale (and probably some of the other Ivies) aren't amoungst the Top FCS programs today.

Well stated. And throw a couple of Walter Payton Award winners Azumah '98 and Santos '06 and a 21-4 FCS out of conference record since '02, counting playoffs.
Re: Top 10 current FCS programs?
UNI is an absolute must on anybody's top 10 for all time, or the last 10 years. UNI is one of the more successful FCS programs of all time.
Great facilities, good fan support, great long standing tradition. Tons of conference titles, tons of playoff appearances and wins, many NFL players, etc.
Re: Top 10 current FCS programs?
if we SC.State could win a few play off games and upgrade facilities i would def put us in the top 10
