"Unlike most of the other top programs in the FCS, North Carolina A&T — as long as they win the MEAC — will never have an opportunity to compete for a national title because of the league’s contractual ties to the Celebration Bowl, which mandates the conference champion participate in the ESPN-backed creation.

But that truth should not take anything away from the eyeball test, which over the last 600 days, indicates the Aggies are the premier program in the FCS."

Riiiiiiiiiight. What the hell were they watching last weekend?!

They could barely beat Jacksonville State who gets throttled in the playoffs year after year after year. And Jacksonville State should have won that game like 5 times but couldn't do anything right

They were both trying to give the game away.

When in doubt remember everything gets posted in the football forum, otherwise how would anyone every see it? :)

Well, I'm watching that game and have got through the first quarter... NC A&T's defense looks really good. JSU's defense looks like it has the bodies but not the brains (including their DC). Leaving the A&T slot receiver uncovered just seemed extra stupid - and they did it twice in the first quarter.

This is a very true statement.

So which of the other Top Five teams have knocked off a Top Ten FCS and an FBS to start the season?

A&T's a Top Five.

Reminds me of that one year the Bison DIDN'T win the Natty.

Ranks are pointless if you don't play in the playoffs.
