The FCS Stats Perform Preseason Top 25 was released earlier this month, and that poll had the same No. 1 as the 2021 College Football America Yearbook’s Preseason Top 30 — Sam Houston State.
FCS Stats Perform installed the Bearkats at No. 1, as Sam Houston State is coming off its first FCS national crown. The College Football America Yearbook did the same, citing the title and the wealth of returning starters the Bearkats possess.
FCS Stats Perform had James Madison at No. 2, South Dakota State at No. 3, North Dakota State at No. 4, Delaware at No. 5, Weber State at No. 6, Southern Illinois at No. 7, North Dakota at No. 8, Montana at No. 9 and Jacksonville State at No. 10.
The College Football America Yearbook ranked South Dakota State at No. 2, followed by No. 3 North Dakota State, No. 4 James Madison, No. 5 Southern Illinois, No. 6 Delaware, No. 7 Montana, No. 8 Eastern Washington, No. 9 North Dakota and No. 10 Southeastern Louisiana in its preseason Top 30.
After the Top 10, FCS Stats Perform had Eastern Washington at No. 11, Montana State at No. 12, Monmouth (NJ) at No. 13, Central Arkansas at No. 14, Southeastern Louisiana at No. 15, Villanova at No. 16, VMI at No. 17, Chattanooga at No. 18, Kennesaw State at No. 19, Austin Peay at No. 20, Northern Iowa at No. 21, Nicholls State at No. 22, UC Davis at No. 23, Missouri State at No. 24 and North Carolina A&T at No. 25.
