    I am surprised NDSU is listed #1 and JMU #2. It probably does not really matter as both are very good. SDSU at #3 is high, but with the offense they have returning they are a threat to win it. They have to improve on defense if they really want to be taken seriously. UND at #5? They still have a question make at QB with their current guy. RB's they should be very good at. LB's and corner's will need to step up for them. SHSU up there . Beat someone that is really really good and you can be up there. Beating Sisters of the Blind and Jefferson Pre-k teams does not cut it.

    You got 3 school in the top 5 that are 250 miles apart. I guess we know who has the best teams though.

    Sam Houston should never be allowed in the top 5 until the CAA and MVFC go fbs

    Too bad Jim Madison won last year, or we could have just renamed the FCS, the North Central United States Champion. (Yes, I realize Iowa schools and MN fall in this area..... )

    No worries, we've taken care of the best teams in Iowa and Minnesota.

    We'll see what they are made of vs. Utah to start the season. Hang with Utah and I'd tip my cap. Lose by 20+ and it would show they have some work to do. Utah likes to Bully people, so it will be a physical test.

    You can make an argument for them at top 10, but 5 is a little high

    Utes by 28+. Top tier PAC-12 team. UND showed their true colors against a battered Richmond team.
