Big jump in the FCS coaches poll for the Redbirds.  SELA jumped in at 22, SFA is 27th in votes.  I expect all three to be in the rankings by the time SELA rolls into Beaumont in week 11 of the schedule.  Last 3 games are SELA, SFA & McNeese.  I think that will be the games that make or break a playoff spot for the Cards.
