JMU is up to No. 21 in the Coaches Poll. Highest ever national ranking for the Dukes, at least for the next hour and a half or so.

Since I've been critical of JMU students for leaving games early in the past, it's only fair to point out I count 53 non-band/cheerleader people in the Georgia State student section.

If you did a Venn Diagram of things supported by Pat Forde, Jay Bilas and Barstool Sports, the only thing in the middle would be that the CAA should let JMU compete. The country hasn't been this united on an issue since Pearl Harbor.

FINAL: JMU 91, Arkansas State 71. The Dukes made it easy on the selection committee and will go to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013, and this won't be no play-in game.

The ceiling for this JMU team could be high if they get healthy and play well. I figured they'd have to play extremely well to be 3-0 at this point, but I don't think anyone would say they have played an "A" game yet.

FINAL: JMU 20, Marshall 9. The Dukes defense didn't allow a point as Jalen Green recorded five sacks. Jordan McCloud threw for 264 yards with a touchdown and an INT and also rushed for 69 yards and score. JMU now 7-0, 4-0 in Sun Belt and likely coming to a Top 25 poll near you.

The Sun Belt East beat three of the most tradition-rich college football programs in the national on the road all on the same day. Quite a division JMU finds itself a part of.

I hope they are preparing to beef up security for McAfee and GameDay. Has the show ever had something like this happen right beforehand?
