    Default FCS Poll Record

    I know we haven't been D1 for very long, but what is the record for most weeks spent at #1 of the FCS poll? I know we were #1 for portions of the Walker-Mays era and the Jensen-Williams era team has been at the top a bunch ass well. Are we even close?

    I've wondered this as well. Anyone want to check these numbers? Obviously we were #1 all year this year and for a good portion of 2011 and 2012. I think 2006 was only for a few weeks but 2007 we were 10-0 until the Bunnies ruined our day; so I would think we had the top spot a lot that season. I would love to know the exact number of weeks we have been #1.

    has there been any udpate on this? I know at one point I had heard this season was our 105th week on top of the poll. Does anyone know where to find this or care to do the offseason research?

    I searched for "most time spent on a poll" and got a completely different set of results.

    In the AGS poll we have been #1 for 31 different polls since we joined FCS football.

    During the tournament....was wondering if one of the App State teams or any other team went #1 in the poll wire to wire.
    Anyone know this? Hammer?

    AGS is just one poll out there but since 2004 nobody but ndsu has went wire to wire. It's a pretty safe bet nobody else has done it during that time either.

    I guess what I meant was the coaches poll as I feel like that is the most "official" and has been around the longest.
