| 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. | Click Here for Bowl Projections | |||||||
