Ok we have a Top 25 ranking (Athlon) to talk about

Not a poll but interesting that North Dakota State is ranked #1 and James Madison #2 in spite of James Madison winning the national title this past season.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

12. Lehigh

Hit to credibility there IMO. The fact that they ran the Patriot with somewhat ease and then got absolutely slaughtered in the first round...

The Citadel will be lucky to finish in the top 25. The write up is accurate.

Samford ranked too low I think. Flip them with Chatty

Actually, just before it starts talking about the teams, they state that this is their end-of-the-year prediction for how teams will end up after the championship game.
JMU will be the true "preseason" favorite ... AND ... the Griz will definately start the year in the top 25 .... imho
