masseyratings.com gives out preseason rankings. the loss to valdosta state hurt us as did the game vs. edward waters. I believe were ranked 177 in the country when last year we flirted cracking the top 100.

It doesn't hold too much weight because Northern Colorado, Northern Arizona, McNeese and few others where ranked higher then us at the end of the year.

It also gives projected scores…….Actually has no merit at all…………

So if I'm reading it correct, we are supposed to win 5 games this year? Losing to Ill State and getting drubbed by No Colorado??

In the words of Chris Berman.."that is why we play the games".
