I believe a lot of these pre-season rankings are compiled based on the way the teams finished last year. I don't think UNI is the third best team in the country. They lost their entire OL plus one of the best QB's in school history. Also one of their DB's is still suspended although he received a lesser sentence for the near riot he participated in. His dad said they weren't sure if he would return to UNI. I'm sure Farley has the welcome mat out ready for him to return. They also announced up here two days ago the UNI game in Macomb has been moved to 12:30 I believe. I know it has been moved to mid day from a night game.
