Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.
Philip
Rivers Jersey .com) - The North Dakota State dynasty came Back 4 More. Or
was it 4-peat in 14? Any of the unofficial slogans boasting the NDSUs
extraordinary success remains appropriate with the Bison being fitted for FCS
national championship rings for an unprecedented fourth straight season. Whats
next for 2015, One For the Thumb? While it was tough enough for the Bison to win
bragging rights from national runner-up Illinois State just within the Missouri
Valley Football Conference, both programs figure to be near the forefront of the
national scene again next season. FBS transfers, like what Illinois State gained
in quarterback Tre Roberson after he came aboard last June, can change the
direction of teams considerably, so a lot is subject to change in the coming
months. But many of the familiar national powers will be among the FCS elite
again in 2015 as the regular schedule drops back to 11 games after two seasons
with a maximum of 12. For our early 2015 rankings, we were all set to go with a
Sweet 16 to honor the college basketball season in full flight, but lets add in
a plus-one to honor the FBS four-team playoff system, ahem, which just wrapped
up. 17. McNeese State (2014 record: 6-5; 2014 final ranking: unranked) - Coach
Matt Viator has never had a losing season with the Cowboys, but three straight
losses to end a 6-5 campaign left a bad taste in everybodys mouth. Quarterbacks
Daniel Sams and Tyler Bolfing will come back a year stronger and running back
Ryan Ross should be a breakout star. The defense returns three of its top four
tacklers, junior safety Brent Spikes and junior linebackers Wallace Scott and Bo
Brown, who were All-Southland second-team selections. 16. Idaho State (8-4; No.
25) - The big question is, can the Bengals replace quarterback Justin Arias
after he led the FCS in passing yards with a school- record 38 touchdown passes
in 2014? Otherwise coach Mike Kramer has the returning talent to keep the
momentum of this past season going. On offense, running back Xavier Finney and
wide receiver Madison Mangum will continue to pile up yards and touchdowns. On
defense, linebacker Mario Jenkins will continue to be all over the field. The
Bengals didnt lose at Holt Arena in 2014, and in 2015 they get traditional Big
Sky powers Eastern Washington, Montana and Montana State at home. They also will
pay a visit to Boise State. 15. Eastern Illinois (5-7; unranked) - After
Kentucky transfer Jalen Whitlow got acclimated at quarterback following the
Panthers rough start to this past season, he became quite dangerous in their
potent offense. His return along with a healthier Shepard Little at running back
will have the Panthers challenging Jacksonville State in the OVC, and this time
they will host the Gamecocks in Charleston. Coach Kim Dameron will have key
players returning on defense in all-conference linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill and
safety Jourdan Wickliffe as well as defensive tackle Dino Fanti. 14. James
Madison (9-4; No. 18) - It might sound strange but Walter Payton Award winner
John Robertson of Villanova isnt a sure thing for the All-CAA first team. Thats
how strong Dukes signal caller Vad Lee played during the second half of the
conference schedule this past season. But with the Dukes losing a lot of key
seniors, they will need some of the young talent, like Khalid Abdullah,
linebackers Rhakeem Stallings and Gage Steele and cornerback Jimmy Moreland, to
rise to a higher level of play. 13. Liberty (9-5; No. 17) - The returning list
of seniors on offense is impressive, including the likes of quarterback Josh
Woodrum, running back D.J. Abnar, wide receiver Darrin Peterson, lineman
Jonathan Burgess and long-range place-kicker John Lunsford. Coach Turner Gills
squad will need it for a schedule that includes two FBS opponents - West
Virginia and Georgia State - and three likely Top 25 teams coming to Lynchburg
in Montana, James Madison and Coastal Carolina. The defense must regroup after
plenty of key losses, but defensive tackle Chima Uzowihe is a good start. 12.
Northern Iowa (9-5; No. 10) - Perhaps like 2012, UNI may not overcome a brutal
early season schedule, this time with trips to Iowa State, Cal Poly, Illinois
State and North Dakota State and a home game against Eastern Washington all
packed within the first five games. Coach Mark Farley better hope some new
leaders will raise their play, perhaps running back Darrian Miller for
All-American David Johnson. Theres still the choice of talented quarterbacks in
Brion Carnes and Sawyer Kollmorgen, and place-kicker Michael Schmadeke is
automatic within the UNI-Dome. The defense will feature linebacker Brett McMakin
as well as Tim Kilfoy and Deiondre Hall in the secondary 11. Montana State (8-5;
No. 20) - Dual-threat quarterback Dakota Prukop was sensational before he
suffered a late-season knee injury. Much of the junior-to-bes offensive line
will be back, as are some versatile playmakers, including Gunnar Brekke. But the
Bobcats must get better on defense or coach Rob Ashs Big Sky squad wont have
much of a chance to go far in the postseason. The regular-season finale versus
rival Montana will be at home in Bozeman. 10. Chattanooga (10-4; No. 8) - The
Mocs will end the season at Florida State, and they hope to land a third
straight Southern Conference title leading into the matchup. Quarterback Jacob
Huesman will chase a third straight conference offensive player of the year
award while opponents chase after him. Despite the loss of defensive end Davis
Tull, who won three consecutive defensive player of the year awards in the
SoCon, the defense will be strong with a lock-down secondary featuring Cedric
Nettles, Dee Virgin and Lucas Webb. 9. Villanova (11-3; No. 7) - There isnt much
more individual hardware for quarterback John Robertson (2014 Walter Payton
Award, 2014 CAA Offensive Player of the Year, 2012 Jerry Rice Award) to win as a
senior, so his goal will be to lead the Wildcats to the CAA title. Kevin Gulyas
returns as his big-play wide receiver. On defense, Don Cherry gives the Wildcats
the best linebacker in the conference, and Dillon Lucas is a nice complement.
Once again, the Wildcats arent scheduled to play New Hampshire, the 2014 CAA
champion. But they will take on Connecticut in non-conference action. 8. New
Hampshire (12-2; No. 3) - Coming off back-to-back appearances in the national
semifinals, the CAA Football champion must replace an outstanding senior class,
led by wide receiver R.J. Harris. Still, coach Sean McDonnell will get back some
terrific players in quarterback Sean Goldrich, linebacker Akil Anderson and
cornerback/returner Casey DeAndre. The Wildcats will go all the way to San Jose
State to open their season and figure to be more vulnerable than they were while
reaching a No. 1 ranking this past season. 7. Youngstown State (7-5; No. 22) -
Bo Pelini didnt win enough to satisfy everybody at Nebraska, but he steps into a
ready-to-win situation at Youngstown State as the Penguins go after their first
playoff appearance since 2006. Many of the teams best players will be back,
including quarterback Hunter Wells, running backs Martin Ruiz and Jody Webb,
wide receiver Andrew Williams, defensive ends Derek Rivers and Terrell Williams
(who combined for 24 sacks), and linebacker Dubem Nwadiogbu. The Penguins beat
Pittsburgh in 2012 and will take another shot at the Panthers to open the 15
season. 6. Coastal Carolina (12-2; No. 5) - Monumental success in the last two
seasons (back-to-back 12-win campaigns) is making it harder for coach Joe
Moglias Big South power to fill non-conference dates. Few opponents are anxious
to face dual-threat quarterback Alex Ross and 1,500-yard running back DeAngelo
Henderson. The defense will have to adjust to not having linebacker Quinn
Backus, who won the last three Big South defensive player of the year awards,
but the front four, led by end Roderick Holder, will be outstanding. No doubt,
the Chanticleers biggest game will be at Liberty to close the regular season. 5.
Jacksonville State (10-2; No. 9) - This seasons early playoff exit as the No. 3
seed should motivate the Ohio Valley Conference champion Gamecocks throughout
the offseason. They will return many key players despite the loss of running
back DaMarcus James. Troymaine Pope and Miles Jones saw plenty of action behind
James, and quarterback Eli Jenkins will keep developing behind what will be a
veteran offensive line. OVC defensive player of the year Devaunte Sigler,
LaMichael Fanning and Chris Landrum form an intimidating defensive line, and
Jermaine Hough is a standout cornerback. Coach John Grass squad will test itself
in opening the season at Chattanooga and Auburn. 4. Sam Houston State (11-5; No.
6) - The Bearkats started only four seniors in the national semifinals, so coach
K.C. Keeler will have a tremendous returning roster for his second season in
Huntsville. If he adds a few FBS transfers, which is usually the case, a
Southland Conference crown may not be the only title they win in 2015.
Dual-threat quarterback Jared Johnson kept getter better this past season, and
so did some of his favorite receivers (Yedidiah Louis and LaDarius Brown).
Defensive end P.J. Hall, who finished with 30 tackles for loss as a freshman,
scared all of the opponents. Even season- opening opponent Texas Tech will be
leery of him. 3. Eastern Washington (11-3; No. 4) - What quarterback Vernon
Adams Jr. can accomplish as a senior is a scary thought. But the two-time
runner-up for the Walter Payton Award and All-American wide receiver Cooper Kupp
are going to have to keep scoring in bunches until the Eagles defense proves it
is much improved. Allowing 59 points to Illinois State in the national
quarterfinals left some doubt. The schedule is as difficult as ever for the
three-time defending Big Sky champions, including Oregon, Northern Iowa, Idaho
State and Montana on the road, and Montana State (as a non-conference matchup
again) and Cal Poly at home. 2. Illinois State (13-2; No. 2) - The FCS runner-up
will return the nations best 1-2 offensive punch in quarterback Tre Roberson and
national rushing leader Marshaun Coprich, but the rest of the offense was
senior-laden this past season, so the Redbirds will need to fill some holes
(four of the five starters on the offensive line depart). An athletic defense
gets back ends Teddy Corwin and David Perkins and leading tackler Pat Meehan at
linebacker. Coach Brock Spacks team will have road games against Iowa and
Eastern Illinois, but the Redbirds havent lost at home since 2012. They will be
in the mix for both the Missouri Valley Conference and national titles again.
And guess who with ... 1. North Dakota State (15-1; No. 1) - Sure, the senior
losses (expected to be 15) are significant again this offseason, including
running back John Crockett and a host of top defensive players led by Buck
Buchanan Award winner Kyle Emanuel, but didnt it appear this time a year ago
that another team would be on top at the end the 2014 season? For a change, the
Bison offense might be better than the defense. The power running game will be
there with quarterback Carson Wentz and running back King Frazier working behind
an outstanding offensive line, and wide receivers Zach Vraa and RJ Urzendowski
will form a dynamite duo. Starting cornerbacks Jordan Champion and C.J. Smith
will allow some new leaders, including defensive tackle Nate Tanguay and
linebacker Nick DeLuca, to emerge into the defensive spotlight. The Bison open
at Montana and wont play an FBS opponent as well as Illinois State in the
regular season once again, but considering coach Chris Kliemans squad will be
less experienced defensively, a softer schedule might be beneficial. Five others
to consider: Harvard (10-0; No. 15), Montana (9-5; No. 13), South Dakota State
(9-5; No. 12), Stephen F. Austin (8-5; unranked), Western Carolina (7-5;
unranked).
