YSU FB ranked 10th in TSN preseason FCS poll

[Penguin Nation]

All but one (USD) of the MVFC teams are in the Massey top 15.  YSU #8.  Top 4 teams in FCS all are from the MVFC.

YSU ranked 15th by FCS Gameday in what appears to be a decent poll, but undervalues the MVFC (only 5 MVFC teams in the top 25).  Seriously...Harvard would beat SDSU?

Preseason Coaches Poll. YSU #16.

Ranking Harvard and Fordham above 4 MVFC teams?  Time to drug test the coaches.

Sagarin D1 rankings.  Similar to Massey in its acknowledgement of MVFC dominance in FCS (the top three FCS teams are from the MVFC) and it's ranking of YSU (102 vs. 100).

OOC opponents:

STFU is ranked 208.
RMU is ranked 238............out of the 254 D1 teams.

At least we've upgraded from Valpo (#251).

More on Sagarin:

YSU ranked above half of the MAC West teams, all of the MAC East teams except one, all Big Sky and Big South schools, half of the AAC-West, and well over half of the C-USA schools and Sun Belt schools.

.....and YSU is an average MVFC school.  The line between G5 and FCS (true 1-AA with 62 schollies) is artificial at best.
