Phil Steel FCS Preseason Poll

[SDbison]

NDSU at #20........Seriously? No respect! Montana State ranked way above NDSU? Yep, just another poll, and NDSU has yet to prove anything consistently. Just don't know how after last year NDSU is not near #10.

For what it's worth, I would rank Phil Steel at #20 as the most knowledgable FCS sportswriter.

Out of 21 sports writers. Where does DJKyro rank?!


Also, being an underdog is gonna be to our advantage

I love having a low poll rating going into a season, remember when we were ranked high?

Yes I do remember in the late 80's when we were ranked high. Seems to me it worked out just fine.

In the end the rankings don't mean anything. If you win every game you still reach the end result.
