Happy about the ranking but as we all know, any transfer or incoming freshman, will really be graded after they have contribution on the field.

We all know that these rankings mean nothing. But, I enjoy seeing them, and they are showing UD a level of respect.
I recently talked with a fellow fan, after the bowl win, that said "I just hope that we can compete at FBS".
LOL, we are competing!
