2021 LSC Pre-Season Poll

Yeah I'm guessing they probably don't want it out on the message board.

Bailiff made it public in an interview with Dave Campbell after media day, so no reason not to discuss it here now.

Something to note, which GNAC teams all will play too. I know Angelo State and Midwestern State get the honor of traveling to Ellensburg, while Eastern New Mexico and Western New Mexico host CWU. I haven't checked all schedules to see how the scheduling alliance shapes up for scheduling. For CWU it seems they get their harder games at home based on that poll.

Just know what I was told.

Doesn't make a difference to me.

can anyone give me an honest analysis of what has happened/is happening in wichita falls? i've been away for the past couple football seasons so its been hard to keep track. But its hard to imagine the state of the program is at number 5. Granted when we were running the roost we were still getting picked to finish 3rd and 4th but still.

6. Eastern New Mexico
7.Texas A&M-Kingsville
8. Western New Mexico

I'm ready for next Saturday! Should be a showdown!!

If UWF is as good as some are saying this won't be a close game in my opinion... maybe if Smalls is back for Commerce but otherwise I just don't see that Commerce offense being able to keep up with UWF.

I think McNeese State respects them more now.

Unfortunately, I think you are 100% correct.

Will definitely be a tough game, uwf is really, really good. But in terms of regional rankings, that pueblo win is more important. That was a huge win.

As long as Commerce makes a better showing than Duncanville did on the national stage.

Ill feel a little better about going into the UWF game if Lions offense can put some substantial numbers up against MSU. The Mustangs allowed over 500 yds last week to Quincy. Regardless though, the Commerce defense will be the key to the UWF game. Limit the run, limit stupid penalties, and get an interception or 3 and it might be a close game.

I think the CSU-P - GVSU game will be just as telling. UWF deserves credit for being defending champs, and taking down a D1 opponent. But the RMAC columnist noted CSU-P has a very decorated offensive line, and the Lion D Line made them look bad. Are they overrated, 1st game jitters or is the Lion D Line that elite? If Pueblo puts up points all over a blue blood then the Lions start looking pretty scary on their own.

Yeah unfortunately there was little to learn from playing in the 40 mph wind at Pueblo except that our run defense and pass rush are pretty good.
