FCS Coaches Top 25 Poll Week 2 Prediction: 2024 College Football Rankings

It was a rough week for the FCS and it should be an even tougher one for the top 25 rankings.

The FCS got annihilated by the FBS throughout the weekend, but does losing to a strong team - like South Dakota State losing to Oklahoma State or North Dakota State dropping a close battle to Colorado - really show how good or bad an FCS team is?

In a different sort of opening to the season, we'll take the guess that the voters in the FCS Coaches Poll won't freak out too much about the early results ... maybe.

Next week will be the bigger test.
