How in the world is Delaware still in the Top 25?

3-3, no quality wins, and we just lost to an ORV team 42-7.

And how is a 3-4 team ahead of us?

Is FCS really this terrible?

How is Montana State ahead of Sac? Especially since Sac’s only losses were to FBS schools.

Those 4 losses were to a pair of FCS top 5’s, an FCS that has been ranked off and on and an FBS that was ranked. You’ll continue to see 3 and 4 loss ranked teams as in a 12 game season there tends to be more FBS matchups.

I agree on Delaware tho.

Ahead of Central Connecticut St with a 5-1 mark.

North Carolina A&T ranked 10th!!!!!!! Again too bad the MEAC lost its AQ status.I want to see what NFL prospect DB Franklin McCain III would do against non-conference competition.He is taller than I thought he is 6-0 180 with speed to back it up (4.38).

No, the FCS is as good as ever. Its Delaware. They belong in D2. What does Delaware do with all the money they spend on football?

Anyone can lose to a bunch of teams.
So you’re saying UCD should be ranked based on beating 2 teams with losing records (Lehigh & Cal Poly) and 3-2 no scholly San Diego?

No. I ranked them because I think they looked good against Cal, were in the NDSU game despite Maier throwing two 4th quarter picks, playing the Bizon way closer than anyone else, and they would be favored against 1/2 the top 25 right now.

JBB- As long as Delaware sucks you will see these posts.

The FCS is doing fine. 157 players from 76 different teams are in the NFL. The number of players drafted has been pretty even (high teens usually) since 93 when the NFL went to 7 rounds from 12. There were a few years in the mid to late 90's where they had a couple years over 25 picks, but overall it's been pretty even for the last 25 years.
