FCS Fans, here it is, my FINAL 1-128 rankings of the 2022 season. Always hard to rank every team based off a full year, but I did it anyway. Enjoy and I look forward to the banter.

Seriously voters, stop slot voting. Montana is always a lightning rod. But struggling with a DII team and a team at 80ish in FCS, and then losing to a bad NAU got beat by the team the Griz beat. Thats the 18th best team? Be better. ALL 56 release your ballots. Bad look IMO
Here's the new #StatsPerformFCSTop25 Poll, presented by FedEx Ground.
You may recognize the team in red, white and black.

How can you not root for @mgronowski11 . First thing he does is credit his team. Great guy. Great player. And no surprise, Great family. Deb, Ray and Ryan are first class as well. So glad I got a chance to meet them.
The Best Player in the FCS.
The Highest Honor ever given to a player from a college football program in the state of South Dakota.
And it’s an Illinois native and @ChicagoBears fan who grew up on stories of Walter Payton winning Payton’s award.
That’s damn cool.

My #statsperformFCStop25 for this week. Moved NDSU back to #2. EWU and Villanova enter, YSU returns. Sac St into the top 10. Cream is starting to rise.

Orpik's impact on the Caps will probably always be understated. But he helped change the culture of this team that eventually led to a Cup. Warrior, leader. Good guy. Congrats on a great career Brooks.

More change all through the rankings this week. I debated internally a LOT for this one what to do 2-6. I can make resume arguments for all of them. Furman 0 FCS losses and 2 ranked Ws is good enough for the 2 spot this week.

That's what i have started to dislike about stage racing. Strategy has gone away in many places. I'd rather they keep it green and just wave the g/w checkered and count the points. I get that it's for TV time too

Here is my #StatsPerformFCSTop25 for this week. Not a lot of movement as most teams won. Little juggle from 7-11 and only one team dropped. I think this is just the calm before the storm that will be October.

Hate to hear the news of BMac's passing. I always enjoyed getting the chance to talk to him. He did it all in sports and was one of the best covering FCS especially in the mid to late teens. Condolences to his family.
It is with a sad and heavy heart to let you know that one of my buddies, one of the good guys, a guy that loved sports and write about them has gained his angel wings and is no longer with us. @BrianMacWriter thank you for being a great friend. @VarsityBuddy @PrepRedzoneFL

"The ESPN predictive and results-based metrics are not currently publicly posted, but are compiled and sent weekly to the FCS Committee."
This is ridiculous. The lack of transparency in the 2024 is apalling .
We're less than a month away from #FCSPlayoffs selection Sunday — 25 days to be exact — and the Division I Football Championship Committee has revealed its in-season top 10 rankings of the #FCS teams.
