Sam Herder already out with a preseason Top 25. Explanation for rankings in his podcast. Paladins are #5! This is where we want to start so we can STAY high in the polls during the season.

Everyone falls over themselves about the Missouri Valley, but it isn’t exactly dominating on this top 25.
North Dakota State doesn’t play an FBS team, has 6 home games, a neutral site game that is essentially a home game (Minneapolis), and avoids playing one of the MVFC’s ranked conference opponents in the regular season (YSU).
Also appears not to be much love for the CAA - 3 teams total and two at 23 and 25?

Bouncing off of Jackal's thoughts on conferences - is there any imminent possibility that there will be FCS conference re-alignment in response to all the pieces moving in FBS?

Who knows. The SoCon has 9 football teams.
The CAA has 15 football teams.
The MVFC has 12 football teams
The Big Sky has 12 football teams
The OVC and Big South appear to be combining. I guess that is 10 total teams.
The Southland has 8 teams.
It would seem that most of the teams that are going to jump to FBS have already done that.

FUBeAR would take it into the nearest stall.

I believe we played Elon at least four time since they left the conference after the 2013 season.

No to the CAA, only one team within 6-7 hours, most a lot further. They are slowly becoming the MEAC north. I would be willing to bet the CAA offer has already been turned down.

As frustrating as being part of the Southern Conference is at times, it seems to be the best fit for Furman athletics in 2023. Stability is at a premium right now in college sports, so being in a position where you feel comfortable with both your conference and division for the foreseeable future is a real boost for Furman.
