And Delaware is the worst 5 win team.

The College Football Ranking Composite has Elon at #14.
It's got Delaware at 9, Villanova at 23, Stony Brook at 20, Richmond at 25, and New Hampshire at 38.
That was based more on historic rivalries (WAS, PHI, NYG) than anything else. Worse was probably the past presence of the St. Louis Cardinals in the NFC East and the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC West....Wildcat Ryan wrote:AZGrizFan wrote:

Youngstown State is about as Western as the Dallas Cowboys are the NFC EAST.

YSU is not Eastern either. Ohio doesn't even border a state that touches the ocean.Wildcat Ryan wrote:AZGrizFan wrote:

You still have 5 FCS conferences with teams who do and voters in the coaches and media poll who apparently struggle to look outside their own footprint.89Hen wrote:YSU is not Eastern either. Ohio doesn't even border a state that touches the ocean.Wildcat Ryan wrote:

As it should be. It's not supposed be equally divided by region. Let's face it, it's a terrible poll in general. NCAT is 6th, Grambling is 13th. NAU 24th and SUU not even ranked, both with top 10 resumes.89Hen wrote:kalm wrote:

Coaches Poll
2 North Dakota State
4 Central Arkansas
5 Sam Houston State
7 South Dakota
T-8 South Dakota State
12 Eastern Washington
14 Western Illinois
18 McNeese
21 Illinois State
22 Weber State
23 Nicholls
24 Northern Arizona
25 Northern Iowa
So 13 of the top 25 are not eastern teams, even though eastern teams make up what, 70% of I-AA?
So because NCAT and Grambling are ranked too high there is an east coast bias?kalm wrote:As it should be. It's not supposed be equally divided by region.

Just because you are east of the Mississippi doesn't make you an eastern team.AZGrizFan wrote:East of the Mississippi.89Hen wrote:

Plus, just because you have "Western" in your name, doesn't make you a western team...
