The Stats Perform FCS Top 25 voting panel has been slimmed down for the spring season. I am grateful to still have a vote and will publish my Top 25 every week for everyone to see, and I’m sure rationally discuss with a clear lens.
I’ll also include team resumes, although it’s important to note what you see on paper doesn’t tell the whole story.
Then-Ranked wins are Top 25 wins at the time of the game. Now-Ranked wins are victories against opponents in last week’s Top 25.
