The Francois transfer will make Hampton better but not that much better.

WOW trues, you should know by now that this is one of the least credible polls you'll ever find. i mean, the top 5 or 6 are "exact" duplicates of last year's final poll. i mean, i know hampton finished 7-3 last year but several of their wins came over d2/naia teams...

Exactly, not to factor in there are in a weak conference. I am not even sure we should be ranked #1 base on the fact we are only returning 4 starters on each side. While Alcorn returns 16 starters including there star QB. 1. Alcorn St. 2. Florida A&M 3. A&T There is two many guys we have to replace you cant just base on what we did last year.

On paper Alcorn should be ranked # 1 . TSU # 2. FAMU # 3. SU # 4. A&T # 5 if your going on paper

You really think FAMU is better than us? You must not trust the talent on our squad at all since your boy Raynard retired, huh?

A&T There is two many guys we have to replace you cant just base on what we did last year. i agree with wca regarding famu. i have no problem ranking alcorn ahead of us but not famu. me personally, i totally agree with coach washington. our two meac losses last year were primarily caused by us resting on our laurels after beating jsu and ecu. we were "feeling ourselves" too much after those wins and took msu and famu lightly. we loss to famu by 1 point and msu by 3 points, but we should've won both of those games had our heads been in the right place. albeit, the aftermath of the hurricane flooding also negatively impacted the msu game. but every season i preach about being prepared "psychologically" for every game and it ain't easy to do, especially when everybody is telling you you're the best thing since sliced bread after beating jsu and ecu. truth be told, i was hoping that we wouldn't have been picked meac preseason #1 so that we'd be motivated to prove them wrong. but its hard to play the "disrespect card" when we're ranked higher than any other hbcu in all the preseason polls. coach washington has his work cut out for him, but he's totally different from coach broadway in terms of the comments he makes to the media. coach washington is "bold" about the outlook of his team saying things like "the sky is the limit" and that "we're trying to be in the upper echelon fcs football" and we look to win the meac "year in, year out". on the other hand, coach broadway plays the "psychological game". you'd never hear him say those kind of things publicly. he'd be emphacizing that we've got our work cut out for us, we've only got 4 returning starters on offense and defense, he'd probably say he's not sure we deserve to be picked preseason #1, and no matter how much we win he always says "we have got to get better". by saying those things he knew exactly what he was doing. remember the first year he took over our job, seems like every sentence that came out of his mouth mentioned that we only had 26 scholarships. the man was a "master" at psychology. that's how he "stunned" the living hail outta brian jenkins and bcu that year. nobody expected us to beat bcu that year, particularly not as bad as we did 22-3...

I credit the coaching staff for ensuring our players get a lot playing time throughout the season. With that being said, we should be number 1!

The Francois transfer will make Hampton better but not that much better. Way too much credit being given to him. Can't throw the ball from his back

True but he's still better than what they presently have on their roster.

Hey at least they (F.A&M) dont have guess how well there QB will play in crucial games plus our front 4 is gone except one guy. Lets hope our replacements can fill in the gap. Man I dont sugar coat nothing.
