LMAO - we posted at the same time!!

[BlackFalkin]

meh.

That is great, though not that surprising. The won the NC and beat a bowl elegible Temple team. Maybe these writers are seeing the light the the top FCS teams are actually pretty good.

[CAA Flagship]

I didn't realize that NOVA played football. No schedule listed on their website.

Two votes seems to me like kind of a backhanded compliment. Better than nothing, I guess, but I'd love to see what the results would be of our final four teams vs. "others receiving votes".

You'd get rolled by every one of them.

They played Temple and beat them. Temple was good for the 1st time since 1979. Did Temple get any votes? If they did Nova deserves some.

How the F does an 8-4 Cal team make that list

How the F does an 8-4 Cal team make that list

Because every year we have to listen to people say how good they are going to be this year, and every year they end up losing 5-7 games. Most overrated program in FBS.

They went 8-4 this year. Hardly belong in the same category with 0-3 win mid-major teams

No, that would be Notre Dame.

How about because they are in Berkley where the treehuggin', delta smelt lovin', birkenstock wearin', granola eatin', Pelosi worshipin', pineapple on pizza fixin', non shampoo and comb buyin', close to Mannyland livin', PETA patronizin', yoga practicin', euro-trash wannabe liberals are harvested.
Other than that, it really is odd that an 8-4 team from the Pac-10 would be on the list.

I did NOT know that GATW, dback, TTBF and kyjelli lived in Berkley.....

Looks like the State of New Mexico may offer the worst college FB product of any state in the nation.

You'd get rolled by every one of them.

Middle Tennessee State would be the underdog against any of the FCS final four teams. So would Central Michigan. WRT the others, you are right.

i actually meant to exclude MTS from that list.

Because that ranking isn't meant to be taken all that seriously.

They always mix in one decent team that played a bad game or disappointed or whatever just to make fun of them.
