Pre season poll

[clawman1]

The Sporting News has the Eagles ranked #4 in the early polls. The Bobcats are @ #3 which I do not really agree with. They were over rated last year and the trend continues. At #2 is Georgia Southern who is not eligible for playoffs as they are moving to FBS. Ditto for #5 App State

One thing I have come to expect from these polls is that MSU is consistently over-rated.

I'd have to see NAU as the third best team in the Big Sky to believe it. I believe they finished 4th last year, and that was largely due to a schedule sent straight from heaven.
