1-AA (Sorry FCS) Rankings

The Football Championship Subdivision (formerly known as 1-aa) received an unprecedented amount of publicity last season. This is due to the fact that people stopped seeing 1-aa as the whipping boys for 1-a football, thanks to Appalachian St.'s upset of Michigan in the Big House.

The talent at the 1-aa level is higher than ever. Now players who could make a 1-a roster take a step down in order to start at the lower level schools.

Unlike 1-a, however, 1-aa officials don't have their head in their asses and actually produce a playoff system at the end of the year. For this reason, polls and rankings mean very little.

I really don't care how little they mean, I'm still going to give you my preseason 1-aa top 25. If you actually read this you must be like me and can't wait for college football to start.
