FSU is ranked after beating 2 terrible 1-AA teams at home.  All you need to know about the system.

If I were a D1A athletic director, I'd schedule two patsies to start every year.  Why put it on the line when you can just dole out the punishment and get recognized?

When you think about it, though, ranking them might be no worse than continuing to rank a team #1 after slaughtering some 1-AA cupcake.  The bigger injustice is that we rank teams at all before they play a game.  Don't rank them until mid-October when we know what we've got out there.

I believe both FSU games were high scoring affairs. If that's the case, FSU is probably ranked because of their offensive output and related statistics. As far as being recognized, beating two 1-AA teams isn't going to get you praise on ESPN… if FSU overtakes Florida, THAT is the kind of accomplishment that will turn heads.

The thing I dont agree with FSU being ranked is that, at the end of the season, say they are 6-6…they won't be eligible for a bowl since only 1 FCS win cane be counted… So basically they are only 1-0 when it comes down to it.

And I GO TO FSU and disagree with the ranking!

They'll be better than 6-6.  Mark it down.  If they're not, there aren't enough 'For Sale' signs in the world to decorate Bowden's lawn.

Oops… maybe not.  Some things never change.
