Some Early Season Falcon Football Rankings

Well, here in the doldrums of summer, there are a couple of rankings in for the Falcon football team.

The College Gridiron 360 blog (an excellent product of the Orlando Sentinel) ranks BG #96 out of 120 FBS teams.  This doesn't sound too good, but in fact it is higher than five other MAC teams, projecting a mid-conference finish for the Falcons.  This is pretty sad.

EMU was the lowest ranked team in all of FBS, with Miami (117), Toledo (111), Ball State (106), Buffalo (98).

Meanwhile, the Sporting News ranks BG #66, which, frankly, given what we have coming back, is pretty hard to buy.  Only Temple is ranked higher in the MAC.  I'm not saying we won't be any good, but on paper (which is all anyone has to work with), we don't really stack up well given the losses we had last year.
