Even more telling is this "GUY" has Richmond listed as the 4th best team in Virginia.
However, In the CAA preseason poll released on July 24, 2018, the Spiders were predicted to finish in
seventh place.
Predicted finish Team
1 James Madison 241 (21)
2 New Hampshire 206 (2)
3 Delaware 182 4
4 Stony Brook 169 5
5 Elon 168 (1) 6
6 Villanova 164 7
7 Richmond 127
Last year the Spiders finished 6 -5 Losses to unranked Delaware, Elon as well as Sam Houston St, Stony Brook and JMU. Richmond is a no show on the FCS top 25 rankings as well.
There is no way Richmond could beat ODU this year or even potentially in the future. ODU has never lost to Richmond. Reviewing the 20 games the Monarchs have played against Virginia football teams, the Monarchs have lost 2 games. Once to W&M and once to VA Tech.
All Time Virginia Football Games against ODU 18 -2
Virginia Union 1-0-0
Virginia Military Institute 2-0-0
Richmond (VA) 2-0-0
Norfolk St. (VA) 3-0-0
Liberty (VA) 1-0-0
James Madison (VA) 2-0-0
Hampton (VA) 5-0-0
William & Mary (VA) 2-1-0
Not that the OS is the bible for pre-season projections, but OS has ODU listed at 86. This ridicules guy has ODU 117 out of the 130 FBS programs.
