JSU number 1 after 1 game against a divisional opponent. Really? ok. And I am a JSU die hard but this poll is fake news.
Wow NSU picked to finished 2nd in the MEAC and were at No.15.
Exactly fellow Spartan………We shouldn’t have any trouble climbing this poll!!!!
I agree this all about Dieon and money.
JSU look horrible. Come play the Aggies
South Carolina State lost by one point. They should be ranked number two. Not number 10.
You did say type “they lost” right?
When you wearing an L, keep the gripes about ranking to a silent whisper…. please.
Lol!😂🤣😂
I’m excited because I see six teams in the top 25 and they all from The CIAA!!!!!!!
NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL #3
Norfolk State #16
Chowan #17 (CIAA CURRENTLY)
Fayetteville State #20 (CIAA CURRENTLY)
Bowie State #22 (CIAA CURRENTLY)
SHAW U!!! #25 (CIAA CURRENTLY)
CIAA 4LIFE!!!!!!
We like to see the halftime show
Both JSU and FAMU have stout defenses. I was impressed with Shedeur Sanders as a passer, and FAMU has a QB problem we have to solve.
The halftime show was fantastic. Props to Marching 100 ans Ocean of Soul.
If you don’t know your bands please don’t comment. Oceanof Soul is Texas Southern University. JSU Is THEE SONIC BOOM . Please put some respect on our name !!!
I concur, this poll is total BS. How a team that wins by one point jump 3 other undefeated teams in the same division
When one of the teams was ranked higher than the other in the preseason poll. That’s how.
JSU Stats.. Won them #1 poll
Kentucky State beat JSU in classic 2019 ……agree money and Deion!!
Kentucky State beat KSU on 2019 ..
………agree sounds like Deion and money !!!!!!
How can D1 Hampton not make the top 25 after beating Virginia Union in week 1.
Clout chasing at its best… Coach D did a great job going and building his dream team and they did a great job on defense yes but # 1 stop it..
Y’all push in jsu too fast. They gone be good and defensive is top r n. Off needs work
You forgot about Langston University.
Where is Virginia University of Lynchburg. No love for the Dragons
Grambling’s win was definitely impressive and they’re ranked #6…Yeah right!!!
Coach Prime is for all HBCU Sports. Give the brother a chance. OMG
The only thing that matter is The MECA SHOULD JOIN THE SWAC and become a super conference. Best thing to happen but what that means is money and a new governing board . They got to make it happen or risk loosing their jobs and it happen anyway.
Lol folks going to be mad at this list. JSU defense lived up to the hype in my opinion.
