3 CAA teams finish Top 10, not bad. The CAA gets a bad name for all the bad teams they added but still pretty good at the top. For now anyway until it all falls apart with what’s coming or I should say what’s leaving

Re: Rankings Update
These ranking are crap. Lazy voting.
CH, look at what you are promoting. Furman loses a nail biter to Montana. Albany gets absolutely demolished by SDSU. nova was playing better than Albany (yes, Albany beat nova earlier, but the rankings should reflect the teams at the end of the year). We are not top 10.
Carty asked me if I had a chimpanzee that could draw names out of a hat for his votes…which would be more honest than what some of these polls are showing.

The poll is the poll, I have no reason to promote it and my AGS poll does not align perfectly with it. In fact, I just finished criticizing the Stats poll on another site

Going to take some time to totally transition out of FCS / CAA
Going into to 2025 will probably all be in the rear view mirror

You don’t have to follow FBS at all to know Mighty Buffalo lost the last two FCS games they played, it’s just a fact. I know some great people who can get me up to speed on FBS real quick
You remind of that guy who didn’t shed a tear when old Yeller died
