I've coached in D1AA Wilkinson since season 131 and Texas Southern has won the title every one of those seasons. They seem like the safest bet.
It'll be interesting where these teams will be placed in the playoffs and how high Yale can climb up the rankings if they finish the regular season undefeated.
Thanks for doing the analysis.
I agree, TSU still has some dominant recruits brought in by nitros. vikesrule proved himself worthy of coaching them well enough last year that they are my favorite as well.
Yale is impressive but 1) Most of the elite talent is on defense 2)They run, run, and run some more and have a true FR QB. No offense intended for sjurat but he also has never taken a team to the title HOWEVER his wishbone all run approach has probably never had a better chance than it does with this team.
Texas State lost a game yesterday that they just should not have and makes me wonder about the game planning right now.
And your Dayton team is my dark horse simply because on this ID you show no NC. With that said your career winning % and skill at recruiting is obvious and again, talent wins games as gt points out above.
Other teams could most certainly creep into this i.e. Marist, St. Mary's, EKU, Northern Iowa, Maine, etc.
