The regular season is over.

Unfortunately, it was one of the worst years in program history for the University at Albany, also the final season for legendary coach Bob Ford. The Great Danes finished the season 1-11, didn't win a game in their new league, the Colonial Athletic Association, and are now in search of a new head coach.

The playoff field is set and the drive to unseat two-time defending champion North Dakota State, is officially underway.

The final FCS Top 25 is out from The Sports Network, as we had to all vote before yesterday's selection show.
