Sheridan Broadcast Network Poll - Week Five
Here’s is this week’s Sheridan Broadcast Network Black College Football Poll. Of course I have gripes with it, as there’s no way the Southern Jaguars and Grambling should be above Prairie View A&M, the only undefeated team in the SWAC.
Further, why is Delaware State even in the rankings? Albany State, Virginia Union, and several other D-II teams have more claim to a spot than the Hornets.
If I were a more arrogant observer of black college football, I’d do my own poll. Instead, I’d like to formulate an unbiased collection of fans to conduct a more balanced ranking system. Two fans from each conference sounds about right.
If you’re interested, please email me. We’ve got to find a better way to treat our HBCU football programs on a national level.
