I can understand them being ranked that low.
They're only the second best Sun Belt program in Georgia.
Georgia State owns them.

At this rate, the highest ranked Belt team according to this publication will be in the 90's.
With what we lose on offense and our head coach not having proven himself, I can't really object to that.
BTW, I think if Troy, App, or StAte (late season) had either of our Power 5 games it would've been a coin flip.
We had a great roster and very winnable Power 5 games and played a WMU team we demolished in 2015 and blew it.
Oh well, FIDO.

I think CFN was the one that had us ranked behind Toledo, La Tech, MTSU, and Wyoming so I'm not too trusting of them anyway.
