By looking at their schedule, Sacramento State has a decent chance of being Big Sky champs.

So how much is it a money loser if we move up to FBS? I thought I read somewhere that Cal is currently hemorrhaging money in their sports programs.

Calling this a poll based on one person's opinion is a bit weird.

How are preseason rankings calculated if no games are played yet? I presume it would be identical to the end of last year's rankings.

As a point of reference for the other teams we have beaten:

#103 Dixie State
#110 University of San Diego

If one combines FCS with FBS:
#80 Eastern Washington
#89 Tulsa
#103 Montana State

Don't look now but the #12 UC Davis Aggies' last three opponents are in Massey's top 25:

#25 Northern Arizona
#3 Eastern Washington
#18 Sacramento State

I like how we're over capacity - unless if it's a fire hazard.

There's a kicking ball that's different from a typical football?

I didn't see Gilliam in the opening drive. Did anyone see him?

Their special teams returner is supposed to be great. Fortunately, our punter will help us out on this.

Judging by which players are in the highlights, this is a freakin' young team. I presume we'll naturally get better over the years just by experience alone.

We also need to cheer on the non-Big Sky teams that we have beaten to do well although they have been underperforming. :(

University of San Diego at Butler 9 am
Memphis at Tulsa 6 pm

I don't know about the FCS polls, but we are dropping slightly overall in the College Football Ranking Composite after 13 rankings so far:

Our median has dropped to 11.

Why do I always worry whenever Gomez kicks the ball past the 30 yard line?

That Freshmen Run was like four times larger than any other Freshmen Run.

It looks like a lot of the higher ranked teams barely won this week.

For instance, using the STATS poll:

#7 Southern Illinois 31-30 OT
#5 North Dakota State 16-10
#3 James Madison 23-20
#1 Sam Houston 21-20

#1 Sam Houston losing 10-0 early in the second quarter.

This is the first ranking where I've seen UC Davis ranked #1 in any FCS ranking:

We're #7 in this bracket too. Weber State disappeared.
