Spiders projected as FCS’ No. 1 team
In the estimation of the Sporting News, the University of Richmond's 2009 football team will end this coming season where it finished last year: on top of the Football Championship Subdivision.
The Spiders will be the Sporting News' preseason No. 1 when the preseason issue appears on newsstands this summer.
UR captured the 2008 FCS title by beating Montana 24-7 in the championship game, though the Spiders finished the regular season as the third-place team in the six-member Colonial Athletic Association South Division.
The Sporting News projects another strong CAA crop. Counting Richmond, which returns 18 of 24 starters, there are five CAA teams among the top 12. Four of them are South Division members.
