The defending Black College Football national champions are atop another HBCU preseason poll.
Alcorn State, winners of last season’s SWAC championship, are No. 1 in the recently released BoxToRow preseason poll heading into the 2015 season.
North Carolina A&T, the favorites to win the MEAC, is ranked No. 2. North Carolina A&T, South Carolina State and Tennessee State were the only other schools to receive at least one first-place vote.
