O/T (kind of) Guess EMU's Rank in the Orlando Sentinal
pre-season ranking of FBS teams.

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_...yland.html

P.S. 105 is Colorado State.

numbers 106 - 120 are at the bottom...

If I set the 'over/under' at 80...

What would you think???? Your ranking????

I bet my man, NuPudge, will have EMU up there in the 60s???? 04-cheers

#77

7-5 record last year with lots of pieces returning. If one of those FCS wins was replaced by a FBS team, it would be closer to 70.

I'm going to say 93. Which is still a HUGE improvement.

you set a tough over/under. i say we'll be ranked worse than 80 based on our poor history. if a publication in Ohio (or anyone with more knowledge of the MAC) was doing this i'd say 70.

You make a good point.

We are trying to guess/estimate what someone in Orlando, FL will do unless they read THIS FORUM. 03-snooty

Feel free to predict where EMU will end up at the end of the season.

Thanks! What it came down to for me is:
"Can I name another 20 teams who I am CERTAIN that we're better than at this point?"
As much as I love my Eagles, the answer was no.

Here's to hoping they go out and prove me wrong!!!!

Well... The Orlando Sentinal has Army at 103.
Not that their report is the best barometer, but we now know that at least two of our opponents this season are ranked below us. I'm interested to see where we fall in relations to Kent State and Ball State.

What really stands out about this report is the MAC has 4 teams in the bottom 1/4. How will this affect our overall ranking?

This means we need to get above 90 for me to be a happy camper. I dont think we will be below that...

Does anyone knows what was EMu ranking at the start of the 2011 season and what was our ranking at the end of the season..

Lastly, I wouldn't put too much into this ranking.. It like guessing the NCAA March Madness...

Dear NUPudge,
I'm going to agree with you. Eighty-two seems about right, and I agree with the fact that one quarter of our conference is not rated very well, will probably, affect our rating because we may play them.

Ya me too...with a lot of optimism added into the equation. I was actually going to change it to a higher number but then that old saying of sticking to your first choice knocked me back.

Well a least we are better then 108th place..

http://www.presnapread.com/no-109-indiana/

Why don't English get a game against Indiana or Minnisota.. One is close and they other one has a good following. Maybe do a 1 and 1 deal (home and away).

Here is the ranking according to another site for college ranking. EMU is ranked @ 80th pre-season for 2012

http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/curre...kings.html

This would be okay I guess..

At the start of last year we were ranked @ 116

http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/2010_...kings.html

I guess you can say "we're moving on up" (in my singing voice)

The year before this EMU was ranked last in college football  preseason..

Not to split hairs, but the first link you provided is the rankings from the end of last season. :-)

Yeah, I wanted to see where we ranked at the end of the 2011 season, at least this what I was trying to do :-)

Checkout the ranking of the MAC coaches,

http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-footbal...den-ron-en

I think English should be 3rd or maybe 2nd.. But I am leaning EMU..

Good find.

The MAC coaching group is a pretty deep group.

I like almost all. I'm not sold on Quinn and Enos has had produced the wins one would have expected.

I can't take the sporting news list seriously when they list Bowden that high and he hasn't even coached a single game in the MAC. Sorry, but that has rear kissing written all over it.

And Solich over Doeren? There isn't a single NIU fan that would trade head coaches with Ohio straight up...but I bet you can find a few Ohio fans that would.

I wouldn't trade any MAC coach for English, #1 in my book.

Bowden, outside the South, could be like a fish out of water. He might succeed or he might flop.
