20. Alcorn State


Someone fill me in here...

I watched them play Alabama State on TV last year and they looked like the best SWAC team I've seen in a long time. I figured there was no way they'd lose in SWAC play and figured they'd end the season with one loss by 6 points to Southern Mississippi. They looked talented. Then the very next week they lost to Grambling by 7. They lost another SWAC game in the final regular season context by 3 to Jackson State.

How high is that bar?

One SoCon team in top 25. I'm not saying they're wrong, just not much happening in the conference anymore it seems

well all the schools that want to play college subsidized professional football left

just a bunch of measly student athlete school left

boring

i guess

I just thought someone would have stepped up besides Chatty.

Wow. Things must really be bad in Newark. Delaware is almost always in the pre-season polls, just based on name recognition.

Well they haven't been great and the upcoming season doesn't hold a ton of optimism as the team is so young - 2/3 of the team is first or second year players. Most of the time 21 & 22 year olds beat 18 & 19 year olds.

The focus is more in 2016 & 2017 - Brock's seat is just getting hotter.
