Well with summer in full swing that means only one thing: FOOTBALL!! And to help accommodate our need for the pigskin, AnyGivenSaturday.com has released the first official FCS poll of the 2008 season and the JMU Dukes have been ranked #2.
The Dukes also received two first place votes and placed second behind only their new nemesis, the Appalachian State Mountaineers. App State deservedly landed in the #1 spot as the three time defending national champs are set to go after another title with a team that is still somewhat the same. Hopefully JMU will put a stop to that on September 20th when they face ASU in Harrisonburg.
Thanks to AnyGivenSaturday.com for the poll and here is the full list:
