HieloLuz	11	Quality win over Liberty \|4\|. JMU is the last undefeated team with a quality win. Which for me puts a stark cutoff underneath them for now. This will change quickly. Either Liberty loses a game and drops out from being a quality win, or more teams pick up quality wins.

sgtshenanigans	17	James Madison was one of my G5 picks at the beginning of the season. They just keep winning but there is a lot of competition for best G5 team including: Boise State and South Florida among others.

Bank_Gothic	21	Top G6 team on my poll and possibly the nation. The Duke's G6 status doesn't have them outside the top-20, however. The problem is that they've really played no one, and the potentially good teams on their schedule (SDSU, ODU, Liberty) have all looked pedestrian-to-bad in other games. And JMU has not been blowing them out the way I would like to see. I still like the Dukes, and I'm asking a lot for team that keeps losing excellent head coaches, but my preseason expectations will go out the window if they don't improve.
ChBass	21	James Madison beat Liberty, but that's good enough!

redrumsoxLoL	23	The Dukes are looking to return to the playoffs and are off to a good start. If Boise St falters, I believe JMU is in the best position at the moment to claim a playoff spot from the mid-major conferences.

Tornadohunter24	24	[4-0, 1-0 Sun Belt] (NEW) \| SOR: #26 \| Notable Results: W 20-13 vs Liberty [3-1] \| It isn't quite to the level of poor Washington State, but JMU has once again been asked to reload due to their coach being poached, this time by UCLA. And all signs point to yet another successful short-term rebuild, with solid if not unspectacular wins against teams like Old Dominion and Liberty. I need to see more of this new Dukes squad before moving them any higher, but they have been fantastic in terms of game control, and so will rise by that if nothing else.

LookAtMaxwell	17	Beat Liberty 20-13, won 26-13 at San Diego State and 46-20 at Old Dominion, plus an FCS win. It has no rule losses, and its three FBS wins, two on the road, are solid. But none of those opponents is ranked, so it's a 34% underdog against the top 25
