77 with a bullet

[Eastwood Eagle]

So what is all the fuss about us not being able to compete in the CUSA first year? If you take these rankings as reality then we are better than six CUSA teams.

[Mark Gommesen]

What is interesting is this ranking is indicating what we already know....the level of competition is much higher in the SBC than most people realize.

[Eastwood Eagle]

Is there any doubt that MAC is the worst conference?

I would say WAC but that thing is about to die.

Funny thing about this poll is that there are going to be 123 FBS teams next year. They lose a lot of credibility with me when they don't even know how many teams are going to be in fbs next season.

They did not include the provisional teams as they are not full FBS this year.

They know exactly how many FBS teams there are. As stated in the Article, the countdown includes the 120 FBS schools from 2011 season and does not include the new qualifying schools.

Well poop on me.
