Most folks have probably already seen this, but I thought I'd post it on here anyway. Only three BSC teams in this publication. I would have thought NAU would be in there. Also not sure about having Richmond, SDSU, and SCST that high. Guess we'll have to compare once Lindy's, the Sporting News, etc. come out.

1 Villanova
2 Appalachian State
3 Richmond
4 Montana
5 William & Mary
6 Elon
7 Southern Illinois
8 S.F.Austin
9 South Dakota State
10 South Carolina State
11 James Madison
12 Eastern Washington
13 Penn
14 New Hampshire
15 Liberty
16 Delaware
17 Northern Iowa
18 Montana State
19 Jacksonville State
20 Eastern Illinois
21 Prairie View A&M
22 Maine
23 McNeese State
24 Furman
25 Texas State

Isn't Montana ranked a little high based on what they lost, new coach and all.

Not really. If anything, they are ranked too low, IMO. Considering they have played in the national championship game the past two years, they should be in the top 5 in every preseason publication. I cannot remember the last time Montana was ranked below 5th in any FCS preseason publication, and rightfully so. They've earned it on the field. One thing's for sure, they should definitely be above Richmond. No way should they be ranked #3.
 
SDSU is about right... they didn't lose a whole lot I don't think. JMU is way too high... that's where they started last year and look what happened.
 
Yep. A lot of these FCS preseason publications are pretty hokey anyway. But I suppose it's good to get a little recognition. I'd expect that we'll be sitting in the top 15 in all of them.
