I won't be
posting an FCS forecast this year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These
projections are based on the power rankings computed through the end of the
2006 season. |
There were
some adjustments made in July 2007 based on numbers of returning starters and
lettermen. |
For the most
part, these projections reflect my guess as to what would happen if last
year's teams |
played this
year's schedule, which of course won't happen so there will be some obvious
"errors", |
such as three
teams all ending up undefeated. |
