The Massachusetts football team is ranked fifth in the first football preseason poll of the season, released today on anygivensaturday.com. UMass received one first-place vote among the 115 ballots cast.
The Minutemen enjoyed a stellar 2006 season, reaching the Division IAA Championship game against Appalachian St. The Maroon and White fell just short of winning the national championship, losing 28-17 to the Mountaineers on December 15, 2006.
Appalachian St. is the favorite again in 2007, ranking atop the preseason poll. The Mountaineers received 97 first-place votes. Montana is ranked second, and received 16 first-place votes. North Dakota State and Youngstown State are ranked third and fourth, respectively.
