We can finally put to bed the Western Carolina FCS playoff agenda, IMO. I dropped them from the top 25 last because of a bad resume and then they went out and lost to ETSU. The best win will likely be a 6-6 Chattanooga or Furman. That's not going to cut it. #FCS

The #FCS top 25 ballot I submitted for the Stats Perform poll is linked below.

I thought 1-4 were pretty easy. 5-25? I liken it to a Baskin-Robbins because there are plenty of choices and varieties that allow you to rank the rest of the ballot.
Fear The FCS 2025 Week 2 Media Ballot
For the first time, I was invited to vote in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 for the 2025 season. I was beyond thrilled to accept the invitation, and like many others, I take the opportunity seriously.

I must admit the UIW-Nicholls placements, Mercer still in the T25, and lack of Austin Peay are surprising. I guess I’m higher on Tennessee Tech than most because I have them at 12. #FCS
