Several New Polls are out now. Until now I have been using the FCS Now poll. That polls is virtually unchanged at the top. Appy State is still number one with Delaware, Jacksonville State, and Stephen F. Austin getting first place votes although William and Mary is fourth and Stephen F. Austin is fifth. I was right about Grambling State(24) and Wofford(17) making their first appearances, but so too did Penn(19).
The Sports Division I FCS Poll is also out. It has the same Top 10 as the FCS Now poll, but they reverse Montana State (9)and South Carolina State (10). Grambling State does not make an appearance on this list, and Wofford had been ranked for a while. Elon is still on the list at 24 despite being 2-4. Penn (25)is on the list for the first time along with Bethune-Cookman (23).
The more important FCS Coaches Poll is out as well. From now on I will probably use the coaches poll as the standard. What is so interesting about the coaches poll is that they have the same teams in the top 10 following the South Carolina St (9) and Montana State (10) of FCS NOW. However, they put Stephen F. Austin (4) above William and Mary (5), and Delaware, which is number 2, has no first place votes. Penn makes the list (25) as does Liberty for their first time (21) and Southeast Missouri State (20).
Anyway you slice it the clear favorites are Appy State, Delaware, Jacksonville State, William and Mary, and Stephen F. Austin. Everyone else seems a bit further back in the pack.
