Quick poll--how large is student enrollment at your school?
Not necessarily a predictor of football success, but I'm sick and tired of the BCS-types calling UCF and other schools "small" schools.

This fall we'll have 42,000 students.

How about you?

BG and UT are around 20,000 as are most MAC schools. A couple like Western, i think are arounf 30k.

Looks like UCF could have a complaint about being called a "small school" but most of the rest of the MAC fits the bill as far as public institutions go.

Kent will have an enrollment of about 36,000 this year making it the second largest university in Ohio. There are about 24,000 on the Kent campus.

If you add in Miami's branch campuses.... the total student enrollment is about 22,000 without it... Miami claims only 16,000... but I always felt it was more when I went to school there.
