I was going to wait for tomorrow to post this, but I got excited about the 2005 season and decided to print my ballot for the Any Given Saturday Top 25. Here it is: 1. James Madison 2. Eastern Washington 3. Furman 4. Northwestern St 5. Western Kentucky 6. Harvard 7. Delaware 8. Georgia Southern 9. Northern Iowa 10. New Hampshire 11. Lafayette 12. Montana 13. Lehigh 14. William & Mary 15. Southern Illinois 16. Cal Poly 17. Montana St 18. Hampton 19. Penn 20. Eastern Kentucky 21. Sam Houston St 22. Alabama St 23. Appalachian St 24. North Dakota St 25. Bucknell There you have it - in its 4 A-10, 3 Patriot League, 2 Ivy League-team glory. I tried to be very fair, including ranking Lafayette in front of Lehigh. OK, I just heard all of Lehigh Football Nation choking in their Monday morning coffee. Look, Lafayette returns basically their entire defense next year, their sophomore QB, and they boast some pretty damn good receivers. And the RB replacing McCourt is also pretty damn good.
