The folks that dropped us must not realize S. Carolina is a P5 program. There is no excuse for dropping in any FCS poll.

I understand us getting bumped a spot in the STATS poll with already ranked Idaho beating FBS Nevada.

The Coaches Poll is a dumpster fire that's fueled by a ridiculous love affair with all things Big Sky and MVFC.

Nevada is terrible. They probably won't win a game.

As it happens, SoCon schools will play SEC/ACC opponents while a lot of the other FCS schools will play Buffalo, Akron, New Mexico State, and Nevada.

Holy Cross should get ZERO credit for playing Boston College close, BC is god awful....

BC lost to Northern Illinois week 1

Week 2 Northern Illinois lost to FCS Southern Illinois

Verdict: Holy Cross is overrated, but we already knew that didn't we :lol:
Hell Holy Cross ranks dead last in the conversation of these 4 mediocre teams :D

1) SIU
2) NIU
3) BC
4) Holy Cross

Glad we won.
Appears that all the teams above us will stay above us.
The W&M - CSU game was not as close as the score may seem to indicate.
WCU pulls out the 3-point win in Richmond, Kentucky, against EKU, with 25 seconds left in the 4th quarter. WCU missed their PAT which would have made it a 4-point win.
Go SoCon
Go Furman

Sacramento State, currently #6, beat Stanford and has to be moved up. Probably W&M will be moved down, probably to #7.

No way W&M drops 3 spots after destroying CSU 15-7. :lol: :lol: Remember they are in the powerful CAA, or what used to be powerful.

After 9/16 games, Sagarin has Furman as the #14 FCS team, below
SD St
ND St
Mont St
ID
SIU Carbondale
Sac St
Weber St
Mont
NIU
NDak
UIW
YSU
and UC Davis.
Then Sagarin has Furman as #134 in all Division I.
Below Furman, Sagarin has
Holy Cross
UNH
EWU
W&M
and then 16 other FCS teams before Sagarin lists, as the #34 FCS team
Western Carolina, ETC.
Furman needs to prove ourselves on the field against Mercer.
etc.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
