Montana and Lehigh are both overrated.

Montana- too much turmoil and change for them to be top 10
Lehigh- has to replace Lum

Stony Brook's about right; we're about right

Surprised NO ST is at 27th after being in the playoffs.

Not me, MEAC is weak, and they have alot to replace. I actually think they are overrated, but I understand this ranking giving last season's success.

[SumItUp]

By mid season, I think the AGS poll is the most accurate, but these results are primarily based on the 2011 end of season finish. The AGS community is made up of fans of FCS teams that follow not only their team, but FCS as a whole.

With the 3 games (Montana, Lehigh and SB), LIberty has the opportunity to earn a solid Top 10 ranking on the field.

IMHO I think we might be a little overrated. I know we have a lights out defense, but our offense is an enigma. If we can figure that out then I think we could be a top 25 team.

[Sly Fox]

I don't think any of us have any clue how good we are or could be at this stage. Due to the secrecy of the spring, I have a feeling much about this team will be a mystery up until Wake Forest.

But based on what is known, I believe that poll is a pretty good assessment of things.
