They just made the cut at #99 and ULM is ranked at #98. Other teams of interest were ranked the following: #93 Midd Tenn St, #85 FAU, #81 Ark State, #74 Kansas State, #71 La Tech, #69 Troy, #68 Southern Miss, #29 Nebraska
Here's what they had to say about the Cajuns:
No. 99 Louisiana-Lafayette
2008 record: 6-6 overall, 5-2 Sun Belt
Coach: Rickey Bustle
Outlook: The Ragin' Cajuns might need to lean more heavily on defense with their top two running backs and quarterback gone -- although center Chris Fisher is among the nation's elite. The pressure will be on veteran linebackers Daylon McCoy and Antwyne Zanders, who must lead the Cajuns through a September slate that includes games in consecutive weeks against Kansas State, LSU and Nebraska.
These pre-season polls are obviously meaningless but at least they give us something to talk about during these long summer days.
