Finally…FCS Rankings that correctly depict the matchup of Samford @ Furman as the Clash of (FCS) Titans that it is - matchup of #9 vs. #11.

This game is, unquestionably, THE Game of the Week in FCS.

I certainly like seeing us rated highly in a non-biased poll. We are now in the stretch of games that will prove it or not. We have the games in front of us. Hoping for good health and a long run!

We have the games in front of us to prove or not we belong. I’m fine with that.

FUBeAR wants a Top 8 seed in the Playoffs…ideally Top 4…aspirationally, Top 2.

At 10-1, with only a loss to a Top Ranked FBS and/or an SEC Team, a SoCon Team deserves a Top 4 Seed.

These BS Polls, which FUBeAR believes are weighted VERY heavily by the Playoff Committee, can/will prevent SoCon Teams from getting the seeds that dramatically impact playoff results and also prevent SoCon Teams from receiving At-Large bids…which are both then used to justify not ranking SoCon Teams (properly) in the following years’ Preseason polls…and so it goes.

The Man is keepin’ the SoCon down!

Just watch.

If Furman beats Samford this weekend, and Kennesaw State loses to Jacksonville State (likely), then Furman will get docked in the polls because Samford's top 10 win over KSU will look less impressive every week.

Voters will fall over themselves to shove some CAA team up the rankings.

Furman has been their own worst enemy with the polls in recent history. Granted the current ranking system is a joke! When we have been ranked we fail to win consistently and fall out. Take care of business every week and we will be fine.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
