My Vote for the FCS Top 25, 10/11/2016

You didn’t ask for them, but here’s my pick for this week’s FCS Top 25.

I love picking games correctly involving teams 1-13 because it makes picking the Top 25 very easy – simply cut, and paste.

Most of that comes from not overrating teams like Northern Iowa, who dropped out of my top 25 after a bad loss to South Dakota, and properly rating Villanova, who keeps winning and has been a regular in my Top 10 for several weeks now.

Mercer’s three wins came against non-scholarship Stetson, under-scholarshipped Austin Peay, and winless East Tennessee State, themselves in their first season resuming football.

The Bears’ first win against a fully-funded school symbolized the craziness of last weekend’s scores.
