2009 FCS Top 25 - Preseason Polls

Five Big Sky schools in the top 25 isn't half bad!
#5 Montana
#7 Weber State
#13 Eastern
#17 Montana State
#21 Northern Arizona
I'm sure Portland State is in the top 50 and UNC, ISU, and Sac are all improved from last year. What about the CAA being the best conference in FCS?? Why don't they ever play any BSC schools? FEAR is my answer...
