Poor UNF, just for fun, I'm going to post this poll Florida Gulf Coast vs. North Florida @ FGCU. If they played the game this week, who would win?
I'd say UNF since they handled their 2 wins versus non D1's. I wouldn't put any money on it though...
fgcu will win big
FGCU
So far Florida Gulf Coast is in the lead, but nobody is giving their reasoning. This is a team we'll all be playing very soon, and it seems as though they are already getting alot of respect.

I'm not really sure why. They go above .500 in DII... but they don't go undefeated by a mile. I don't think ANY a-sun team has lost ONE non d1 game (as they shouldn't)... but still, not even UNF lost to a non d1... so why would this game be any different?
If FGC and Upstate were in the league now and the Eagles beat the Ospreys, this might be the current standings...

NORTH
1 ETSU
2 Belmont
3 Lipscomb
4 Campbell (on a fast track to 5th place)
5 Gardner-Webb
6 USC Upstate

SOUTH
1 Mercer
2 Kennesaw State
3 Jacksonville
4 Stetson
5 Florida Gulf Coast
6 North Florida
I don't know why, I guess it's the school's newness, and great facilities, etc... but I see FGCU as a team that could build quickly in Division I. I think that if they can, they should try and fast track their D-1 transition for basketball and see what they've got.
i could see them doing well 2. what sucks for them though is they have a lot of competition. I mean you got the Big four in Miami, Florida gators, florida state and south florida. also u got Central Florida, Florida Atlantic and FIU which are also 1A schools. thats a lot of competition. but i'm rooting for them.
