Granted, it's only one game. Nevertheless, there is concrete evidence of this season's possibilities. I'm locking the off season thread and moving the season conversation to this one.

Maverick was named as the "Stats Perform" National Offensive Player of the Week. Awesome.
He was also named UAC Offensive Player of the Week...
.... and National FCS Player of the Week by CollegeFootballNetwork.com

We were not intimidated by a Big 12 Big Boy, that is a very important thing. The players seemed to have bought into the OC's schemes/plays. It will be hard to live on the cloud we are on, but if we can pull it off, this could be a very big year. I hope the UAC gets two bids and ACU keeps going on high speed all season.

So we beat West Georgia and our ranking only goes up from #34 to #32. West Georgia must not be very intimidating in the football world.

FYI, Idaho's win over Wyoming bumped them up pretty good in both polls. I really hope we don't have any injuries coming out of Colorado.

Any idea why Cleveland did not play?

As of now, ACU is the highest rated UAC team (#24) in the Massey composite ratings. Note: This may change in the coming days because more computer ratings will be added to this list. masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cf&sub=fcs

Polls are just guesses, at this point especially. Polls don't do anything for the teams other than fire them up or make them think too much of themselves. Polls are more for the fans, and at this point, I don't care. We just played a game against a bad BCS team and a transitioning D2-FCS game. After game four or five is when we need to start paying more attention. My opinion of course.

After two games I still have no idea of how good we are. Polls are all just guessing for most teams at this point. Beat Idaho and we will have lots of eyes on us.

Attendance against UWG was 7094. Not too bad. I was impressed by the number of students in attendance.
Idaho comes to town on Family Weekend. Typically one of the largest crowds.

After game four or five is when we need to start paying more attention. My opinion of course. This is very true but with various means of making educated and calculated educated guesses. All of the polls, stats/fans/coaches, simply say that people are watching and comparing between everyone else in the FCS field and saying these teams are showing signs to watch. As more data comes in we all know more. It's nice to be recognized but we all know we have a long way to go. So does everyone else. Idaho will tells us a whole lot, just the same as Central Arkansas, Southern Utah and Tarleton. Actually all the games will, but those games will be the highest profile ones.

Question: Why do people go to football games and then leave when the outcome is still very much in doubt, most for no apparent reason? Has always puzzled me.
