So you think ISU is a worse team than Liberty, Jacksonville State, Bethune-Cookman and Albany? I think every team in the BSC should be represented.

I think ISU would get rolled by all four of those teams.

app. state at no. 5 is the one you should be laughing about. they should be around 10-15. they're worse than last year and they weren't that good then. 8-3 regular season and 1-n-done (34-12 to Maine) in the playoffs.

Guess we'll never know, and will just have to settle for them getting rolled by 10 of the 11 teams they play this year... :lol:

Although Black Hills State may have an outside shot...

It's a sad day indeed when Idaho State gets votes in a preseason poll and Weber does not.

:shock: You and UNC. That's some heady company, Wildcat! :shock: :shock:

And that makes no sense. Yost<Hoke IMO... I get the coaching upheaval but Weebz has some talent, I'd put pretty solid money on them finishing better than ISU this year.

Seems to be a pretty limited survey; only 26 first place votes? That means to me that they, whomever, asked only 26 coaches at the FCS level upon their opinion. I'd, for my own part, would have sent out about 100 questionaires to that many coaches in order to get a better sampling. This is just too small a survey to begin with. IMHO

I think it was written into Kramer's settlement with MSU that its new coach was obligated to vote for Kramer's teams in future polls until the end of time. That and the boner he gave the Bozeman Chronicle sports writers was something even a Viagra drip tube couldn't replicate. The Big Human will receive votes from Bozeman forever.

Should we ignore the fact that the last time Kramer was coaching for Montana State the current Bozeman sports writer was attending UM? I'm sure he's very biased for Kramer though...
