And that completes the Alluvial Eight, with 2 Independents, 2 AAC, and 1 each MAC, Sunbelt, CUSA and MWC.

The Alluvial Eight?

These schools are deposits of clay, sand, and silts left behind from a flowing body of water?

It's the name of a new FBS conference. Still better than Leaders and Legends.

#119 Purdue-Big 10

With KU, they at least have some hope of climbing up eventually since they've got a newish coach with solid recruiting ties. On the other hand, Purdue is f'd, Hazell was a one year wonder who took a regular bowl program down the toilet and killed their fan base.

I was expecting Kent State to show up soon - if Hazell is down here, maybe it was good he went and found a better job.

They are projected to be, at any rate. If we take a college football season as akin to a flowing body of water.

#118 New Mexico State-Sun Belt

#117 Wyoming-MWC

Miami beat EMU fairly easily last season, returns a ton of young players who got experience last year, and for the third straight year had a recruiting class in top 3 of the MAC (not to mention significantly higher ranked than the Eagles)....there is no way MU should be ranked behind EMU (or Kent for that matter).

If one is really watching Miami's program closely, they would see that this thing is moving in the right direction. But we'll just have to work it all out on the field.

This one will be decided on the gray turf in Ypsilanti, October 29.

Well, I guess their list can't be any worse than CFN's usually is.

Or watched the HBO Special and guessing the program will be dropped by August 1.

THIS IS A JOKE!!!!

Oh, EMU. Yes, a revamped defense, esp. up front, new defensive coaches, and hopefully a healthy, but experienced OL, too.

We play two of the teams already on this list in OOC (@Charlotte, Wyoming), plus Mississippi Valley State. I think the Orlando Sentinel is, more or less, buying the fact that we could be 2-2 or 3-1 heading into conference play. At least that's all I can guess, unless they know something I don't.

Makes sense.

Assuming a win vs. Miss. Valley State and either @Charlotte or WYO, and maybe MIAMI (home) that alone would get us out of the bottom 10 teams.

#114 Iowa State

Cyclones are the second team from the Big 12 to make the list.

We have some decent late signed jucd from championship programs coming in on the defensive side may have one or two on the offense as well I have surprised at how well the current staff does with jucos
