We made it.
After enduring the postponement of the 2020 fall season, a long list of standout players entering the transfer portal, and wondering if a spring season would actually happen, it is finally FCS game week.
We at HERO Sports waited patiently, having confidence the spring season would happen but unsure of who’s in and who’s out for both players and teams. With game week here, it’s time to reveal our preseason Top 25 rankings.
How was the Top 25 ordered?
Senior writers Brian McLaughlin and Sam Herder both did their individual Top 25. Each slot was given a point total, they added it up, and ordered the rankings from there.
NOTE: Not included are teams who have opted out of playing a full spring season
