Mulerider What do you guys think? https://theanalyst.com/2025/01/fcs-top-25-rankings-early-2025-season-outlook I hate not to see UCA in there at all. UCA has a ton to prove in the fall though. Do you think the UAC/ASUN was a better choice than OVC-Big South or Missouri Valley? Missouri Valley would have been expensive with travel is my guess. Big South wouldn’t have worked out as well as the OVC might have.
JoshUCA After the miserable showing last season, I would not expect to see us in the pre-season Top 25. We definitely have a lot to prove. I think the UAC/ASUN was the better choice for us overall. While I would have preferred the Missouri Valley for football (assuming we could have gotten into the MVFC) and basketball, travel would have been a huge issue and plus we don’t recruit in that part of the country as much. https://www.si.com/college/fcs/mvfc/fcs-football-conference-power-ranking-ahead-2025-college-football-season
Jmb3125 In looking at those teams in the early rankings, I have to ask…. How has Incarnate Word gotten all those stud players on their roster? Do they have that much money?
