Talented lads, for sure............someone remind that author that two of his 10 are from 1-A schools (more fine research from big city paper employees )

"Small School" being the operative wording here not "FCS." I wouldn't consider Idaho a school with a huge/well known football program... UCF has made some noise, but they are no power house.

According to the UCF website (http://www.ucf.edu/about_ucf/), they have an enrollment of 53,000 students.

Makes you wonder why players at Florida (50,000), Texas (50,000+) and USC (17,000 undergrad, 35,000 total) weren't on their list of "small" schools.

stony brook along with several other FCS schools have high enrollment because they are research universities, doesn't make them big schools when it comes to football. UCF is still small time when it comes to football.

To TribeFan: Would you consider Miami or Notre Dame small football schools?

My point here was the strange use of the term "small schools". ATL makes a good point that "small time" might be a better choice. There is nothing "small" about UCF, the university. And obviously there is no direct correlation between the size of a student body and the success of a school's athletic programs.

If the author considers "Large" and "BCS" to be interchangeable terms, then there are shortcomings there, too, as Wake Forest (< 5000 undergrad) and Vanderbilt (6800 undergrad) in BCS conferences can attest.
