The first few polls are typically a joke and that’s understandable as it’s difficult to assess a team’s strengths and weaknesses until they’ve played a few games against decent competition.

Oklahoma came close to losing. But they still have the front runner in the Heisman!

I’d say that the biggest disappointment is Washington. A PAC 12 team losing to a FCS team in Montana!!! Awful!!!

Montana was ranked #9 in FCS Preseason Poll. Just ahead of #10 Jacksonville State.

Do y’all think maybe these FCS wins are a product of their play in the spring? Seems they’ve got their time in and are clicking along better than a lot of FBS programs.

Not saying Montana was trash, they’ve been a pretty strong program for a while, but we are talking FCS as opposed to FBS. UAB curb stomped Jacksonville State 31-0 Wednesday too and UAB isn’t a Power 5. Just saying, a Power 5 program shouldn’t lose to a FCS school EVER!!

Not really! Take Jacksonville State/UAB as an example. As @252BAMA posted, both Montana and JSU were ranked. While Montana won, JSU got taken out behind the woodshed!

Vanderbilt excluded.

Vanderbilt excluded.

True!!! We should kick them out of the conference for that pitiful excuse for a football program!!!! We would be better served getting Thompson HS in as the 14th member!!

 

[It Takes Eleven]

I wish ND made the list. I didn't really get to watch much of the game. Is FSU improved, ND weaker, or both?

Good questions. Free shoes woke up I guess ‘cause the first qtr they sucked at everything on offense. Defense wasn’t bad. I went to bed and saw this morning that they went to ot. I wish fsu would have pulled it out.

And we head into week two with two G5 programs favored over P5 programs. You say "Vandy excluded." Should that be expanded with Kansas (dog versus Coastal?)

Seeing UofSC as a dog against E. Carolina? That's a never, at least it should be.

I'd have to stop and do the math but my impression from these first games this season is we've seen more G5 team wins over P5 teams than we have over the past two seasons, combined.

F$U starter scoring when the back up came in! He the kid that blow out his leg playing at UCF about thee years ago. Kept showing his parent,

FIFY!

Colorado State is favored over Vanderbilt. Opened at -1 and is already up to -5 1/2. UConn will probably be favored over them also.
