Not even a team to watch.

It didn't take long for a new coach to turn around SFA's prospects. Hoping the same is true for ACU in a year or two. Having said that, I think SFA and UIW are a little overrated - especially UIW. Guess I'll find out in a few months.

We are the most under the radar team in the history of under the radar teams.. we aren’t a ‘team to watch’ or a ‘dark horse ‘ by anyone.

Why should we be? We had 40 players transfer out, a whole bunch transfer in, and a new coaching staff. Even if we are more talented or have better coaching, why would we deserve votes on any poll?

Like I said: theme = unproven potential. So I agree that there simply isn't enough info on our team for anyone to make any predictions.

Sarcasm, just in case anybody missed it.
I think both UIW and SFA deserve to be in the preseason top 25. We never know how the season will play out but as of now, they have the highest probability of getting the WAC auto bid.

We are exactly where we deserve to be -- totally off the radar. This team is a question mark. My gut says that we will be better this year, but if I were a betting man, I certainly would not put money on ACU to even break .500 this year -- simply too little data to go on. Plus, my gut has consistently been off the mark for the last 5 or more years. I blame that on the removal of 14 inches of my gut by surgery just over 5 years ago -- apparently it was the more discerning portion of my gut.

Someone may say that it's not that we're "off the radar". That would imply that analysts putting these polls together just don't have the info to include in the top 25. More likely it's that the analysts know what we have and have placed us far down the list based on knowing our team. Of course I would never say that because this board would label me as snarky and a troll.

To suggest there are real analysts that know what we have is comical so yes that is a troll post…we don’t even know what we have, and there aren’t real FCS analysts. You can just say we don’t deserve recognition but that’s too simple.

UIW is a perfect example that pre season rankings are based on last year's performance. They've had enough major turnover that know one really knows how good they will be this year. I hope we come out of the blue and surprise a lot of people but no one will really know what we have until we've played a few games.

I knew it was alot, but was it actually 40 players in the end, or is this just saying a whole bunch out and a whole bunch in.
