Here are the numbers I got when I crunched them. AGS was indeed #1 until I added Phil Steele's in and we are still the most accurate poll out there. Steele is not a poll but a ranking by one person.

Re: FCS Preseason Top 25 Comparison
Nice work man. Good work by Phile Steele as well. One thing about AGS having a good run the last few years is due to the CAA being heavily favored by the voters on AGS and rightfully so for the last few years. If the CAA were to get a lot of teams put out early it will really screw up the poll on there. Hell if the CAA were to only get 3 teams in one year that would screw it up bad as well but the CAA always has at least four that should be in the tournament with their current structure.
