Can I declare Montana the "Larry Bird levels of white" College National Champs of 20 of the last 25 years?

Right on at 6-5...only you're going to do it backwards...winning 5 of your last six to look like world beaters at the end of the season....L W L L L W W W L W W

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Is Delaware still I-AA, or did we drop down?

[SuperHornet]

I see 5-6 with that schedule...4-5 in terms of just FCS games....

That said, an FBS upset would make me VERY happy. I don't like Arizona. AZ State, yes. Arizona, no....

2. Sam Houston State

Brock is waiting until 2016 or 2017 to be decent.

In a watered down CAA (only three teams in the top 25 ), we aren't expected to make noise this season.

[BDKJMU]

Worthless as tits on a bull...

UD won't be very competitive in 2015. I'll be happily stunned if we had a winning record. 4-7 or 5-6 is most realistic IMHO.

[ASUG8]

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

[D1B]

Honestly UNI at 11 is a bit shocking

UNI will win 4-5 games, if they're lucky.

[Killamike259]

SDSU being on the list at all shocks me. I don't see them winning more than 5 this yr

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

Welcome - and why do you say that? I know they lost Zenner.
