Might be the fact that we played respectable against UAB despite on having 16 passing yards. But there's no way we should be ranked ahead of Morgan State. That is crazy talk.

I'm extremely proud of Morgan State. To beat top 20 Richmond at their place....that can be a program changer. It may be blashphemy, but NCCU should be #1. They definitely shouldn't be behind Jackson St...If they're giving FAMU credit for beating Jackson St, then Morgan deserves as much credit for beating Richmond.
....after seeing how FAMU dismised Jackson St, it really makes me sad to see how much it appears the boys in Orangeburg have fallen under Pough.

I have been following Morgan’s coach since he was at Bowie. I think he is going to rebuild that program and he might do it kore quickly than he did at Morgan. He out together some good teams at Bowie.

.....regardless, for an MEAC to beat a top 20 CAA team speaks volumes. As you all recall, Central beat New Hampshire last year as well....and UNH finished the CAA tied for 1st.

Morgan and NCCU are pretty good FCS programs. Meanwhile, Delaware State, Norfolk, State, and SC State are trash this season. Also, Richmond also lost some things and was perhaps overrated going into the preseason. Elon, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Villanova could also be in that boat while Albany, Campbell, and Monmouth are underrated.
That's going to happen as pollsters will have perceptions of teams and conferences that they feel are backed by stats and histories.

For week one Morgan should be in the top three. I would place them at number one or two with Jackson State three, central four. The rest you can rank them either way you want. Because Morgan did beat a team from a more powerful conference in this opening week. Let's see how the following week's go.
Also is Richmond is it not on our schedule ? Don't see this as a decline in Richmond at all because in any close game just like in boxing all it takes is one punch to win a fight. The key in football is to score enough points so that one punch does not count or alter the game.

Some positive perspective from the UAB: without that last-second passing TD, they score 28 max, If we had that pick 6, we have 13, I can't remember if UAB scored after we flubbed the pick six; if so, they would probably have only a score of 21-13 and throw in the last second TD 28-13!

But one game dose not make a season . So calling programs good or trash 🗑 will be determined as the season progresses. You are correct posters over rate and underrate programs and conferences all the time and polls can change at the drop of a hat as the season progresses.

Should have need "is it not " .

You have to admit that when it comes to the Del St, NSU, and SCSU, they have recent evidence (last season + week 1) that will lead people to believe these teams aren't going to be in the running for the playoffs or Celebration Bowl.

Morgan and NCCU are pretty good FCS programs. stopped reading after that statement. how is a program that has gone 4-7, 3-9, 2-9, and 4-7 over the last 4 seasons a pretty good fcs program? that ain't the performance of a pretty good fcs program by any stretch of the imagination. however, they may be developing into an "up and coming" fcs program. but a pretty good fcs "program" they are not. at least not yet...

I can give you that one. Morgan State is definitely growing into one. 10/19 could be their coming out party.
