Say blood....I'm no expert here but, it's kind of strange that they have Grambling below BCU. BCU could be good but, don't they have a new coach? We all know what Grambling has and I dare say they would beat most of the HBCU's rated ahead of them with the exception of SCSU & Praire View...and they would have to bring their "A" games to win. Oh well, that's why they play the game...ya think?

thats kind strange poll has 3/4 of the SWAC ahead of Grambling ?

The amazing thing to me- Alabama St. and Albany received votes but NC A&T did not. Is A&T that bad?
