The Coach's poll (the "official" poll in the toolbox of the selection committee) was definitely the 3rd best in terms of reflecting what the selection committee did. I'd say it was about a draw between the AGS and STATS polls in terms of which reflected the committee the best. The AGS Poll did much better reflecting the seeds and the STATS poll did much better reflecting the at-large teams. Overall though for the 6 years of the 24 team playoff format I think the AGS poll is further distancing itself as a better reflection of what the selection committee will do. Something pretty remarkable, in my opinion at least, is that the AGS Poll hasn't been further than 2 spots away on any seeded playoff team since 2013 (that's a streak of 5 years and counting).
“I think he’s the best player in the FCS,” said Hornet head coach Jody Sears. “He’s extremely accurate, and if you’re not dialed in, they’re going to cover you up. That’s a really good football team we faced and we didn’t have a lot of answers. I think they’ll do well in the playoffs.”
