We're about five hours from kickoff of the Division I national championship game between Massachusetts and Appalachian State. You can watch the game on ESPN2. From what I've seen, Appy State is the best team in the tournament and should roll to its second straight championship. The I-AA season-ending awards are also out, and UC Davis fans should be pretty familiar with the winners. Cal Poly's Kyle Shotwell won the Buck Buchanan award for best defensive player. New Hampshire QB Ricky Santos (who led a last-minute scoring drive to beat the Aggies in 2005's season opener) took the Walter Payton Award as best offensive player. San Diego won The Sports Network Cup, which goes to the top I-AA "mid-major" program.
Here's my final Top 25: 1. Championship game winner; 2. NC loser; 3. NDSU 4. Montana; 5. Youngstown; 6. James Madison; 7. Illinois State; 8. Southern Illinois; 9. New Hampshire; 10. Eastern Illinois; 11. Montana State; 12. Furman; 13. Portland State; 14. Tennessee-Martin; 15. Hampton; 16. Northern Iowa; 17. South Dakota State; 18. Cal Poly; 19. Coastal; 20. Wofford; 21. Central Ark.; 22. McNeese; 23. UC Davis; 24. San Diego; 25. Towson.
