A few inches away

Mississippi State came a few inches away from the number one ranking this week. Auburn is still winning. As long as they keep playing ranked opponents (and winning), they should stay near the top for a while.

Why FCS?

So I know why teams beat up on FCS. They are close to home, it's an easy win. But seriously. Aren't there enough FBS bottom 10 dwellers for all to go around?
