Here is an interesting post from the FAU Owls site:

---------------
The Rocky Mountain News in Denver publishes a weekly NCAA football power ranking of all 239 teams in Div. 1A and 1-AA. It is based on a complex formula that deals primarily with performances of opponents, etc. The Top 10 often is different from the national polls. This week's Scripps Howard (parent company of the newspaper) College FB Power Ranking shows FAU at No. 71 of the 239 schools.
The top 10: Miami, USC, Okla, Cal, Utah, Ariz State, Okla State, Auburn, FSU, Tenn.
Skip a bunch, and you get to Troy at 36. Everyone knows Troy could spell trouble for the Owls.
Skip more and you get to South Fla at 67, followed by Clemson, Penn State, Georgia Southern and, ta-da, FAU at 71. Kansas State shows up at 72, followed by Iowa State, Bowling Green and Arizona.
Others of interest: Middle Tenn (81), New Mex State (84), Hawaii (94), North Texas (100), FIU (113), Illinois State (126), Louisiana-Monroe (131), Texas State (137), Central Fla (161), Northern Colorado (188), Fla A&M (209). Edward Waters, an NAIA school, is not on the NCAA list, of course.
The bottom five: Texas Southern (235), St. Peter's (236), Butler (237), Iona (238) and Austin Peay (239).
I tried to find a web address for the full list, but could not. If you want to search that newspaper's site, go to www.rockymountainnews.com.
