They're not.

Didn't realize FCS schools were eligible for poll.

Same here. It would make about as much sense as ranking an FBS school in their poll. They aren't going to play in a bowl any more than we would play in their playoffs. And it's not really justifiable with their schedule.

It was very important the last 2 years as well. I think the intensity of the team will be 10x what we saw the first 3 games.

Including this upcoming game, the last three Florida games have been the three most important games in the past several year to hear people tell it. These 3 games, UT has had the talent advantage, and certain segments of the fan base think "this is the time we will finally run up the score (although this is never realistic against Florida).

Let's hope the third time is the charm. Otherwise, I'm not sure how much more I can buy in to all of this direction.

Hasn't North Dakota State won like 5 FCS championships in a row?

Yes and awesome fans that travel well. They've held the championship game a few miles from my home and Toyota Stadium looks like it has two Jimmy Buffet concerts a year. :)

Watched them last year as they whipped my alma mater Jacksonville State in the championship game. Probably one of the most disciplined teams I've watched; absolutely no mistakes.

As bad and incosistent as we've played this year, I think we pull it together and play a complete game this year.

Butch Jones knows how important this game is, The team will come out and be very focused.

I want to believe it. I wanted to believe that App State was the classic sleep walk first game, they woke up against VT, and would never look back. But that Ohio game has scorched my grits. I don't know why they continue to play like crap in week 3.

At the moment, I think we win, and could win by 20, but if they are flat, forget about it.

After watching the Bama and Ohio State games I hope we are recruiting hard hitting MLBs. Need guys that will enforce that we don't want you running a thing on us.

SN: Funny how Bama is running the spread a lot with Hurts. Even Saban will let someone else run his offense after being conservative at first. Butch should take a hint and step back.

I was the same until the Ohio game. Something just isn't right with this team and I don't know why. Not sure what to expect in the UF game.

Regarding the "Whatifsports" simulation.

I check their stuff pretty often. Their statistic projections are always very middle of the road. Tennessee just played very middle of the road yesterday, so it lined up.

Take, for example, FSU vs Louisville this week:

What if sports: FSU winning 60% of the time. Louisville rushing for 145 yards and scoring 26 points.

Reality: Louisville won, rushed for 314, scored 63 points.

Their simulations and scores are always conservative.

Ole Miss is going to teach UGA a lesson this week in Oxford. Can't wait to see UGA exposed, and then watch them begin to melt down after Tennessee gets a hold of them a week later.

Saban is willing to adapt. Self awareness is a trait all the greats have. He knew he needed to change if he was going to continue winning.

Same. Our oline was not suppose to be a liability this year. But now that it is it changes the entire outlook of the season. Games are won / lost in the trenches.

Shocks me. I believed the OL would be a strength. They are playing at 2014 level, even though these are the same guys we had last year. Why aren't they better? Makes no sense
