Final FCS Polls

[AstroDin]

Don't get me started with this BS… the love for the Big Sky and Idaho is blind!!!

[Yadkin]

This poll is bad, the other one even worse. It’s run by a longtime CAA cheerleader.

We are 3/4 this year. We kill Idaho And USD.

We are 3/4 this year. We kill Idaho And USD.

Reasonable Poll would be…
1. SDSU
2. MT
3. NDSU
4. FU
5. Villa
6. SDak
7. Albany
8. Idaho.

That said…
1. SDSU
2. FU
2. MT
2. NDSU

…is not unreasonable. And…

If FU & MT play 10x on neutral field (where Refs are not too intimidated/awestruck to call 11 Blocks-in-Back’s / Holds on Returns), FU wins 6 to 8 of 10.

Furman is #2 in FUBeAR’s poll. #2 and wishing we had had a shot to take on #1.

Good thing we should start high in the polls to start next season.Ole Miss L won’t mean much, 2 winnable games and an iffy ooc road game after Ole Miss. Should start the conference season ranked. Waitng for schedule release.

I'm fine with Furman being ranked sixth.

I'm not fine with Idaho bring ranked above Furman, University of Albany, and Villanova...

I can understand holding it against University of Albany for being steam rolled by SDSU but not to the betterment of an Idaho team that couldn't beat them.

I watched Idaho play a few times and never came away wowed. They got a lot of love most of the season for whatever reason.

I could not agree more. The loss to MT sucks in many ways. The refs were mesmerized by cowboy football into ignoring flagrant violations in that game. We shoulda hired some Comanche warriors ride in bareback and scalp some of them at halftime. We screwed ourselves out of a home game vs friggin NDSU in which we would have best their farmer addes. Our defense holds its own against SDSU and maybe we get a few breaks. VOILA.
2023/24 national champs. Wounda, coulda , shouda.!

Seems valid - good metrics system to run this evaluation…
