(STATS) -- Its highly impressive that Jacksonville State has not lost to a conference opponent or against a non-FBS opponent during the regular season under third-year coach John Grass.But the Gamecocks, last years FCS national runners-up, cant help but have the postseason in the back of their thoughts while they continue to dominate opponents.The Gamecocks (7-1) head into November on a strong note and with the No. 2 ranking in the STATS FCS Top 25. They only trail Sam Houston State, which held the top ranking for the third straight week on Monday.Its a good sign for Jacksonville State when Grass says, I dont think we can play much better, as he did after a 47-14 victory over Eastern Illinois this past Saturday. It came against the most recent Ohio Valley Conference program to beat the Gamecocks, something their seniors probably remembered from 2013 while they raised their conference win streak to an FCS-high 21 games. They have beaten 28 straight non-FBS teams in the regular season, losing only to Michigan State, Auburn and LSU.Today was just a great team win, Grass said after quarterback Eli Jenkins accounted for three touchdowns and running back Josh Clemons scored twice.Jacksonville State received 15 of the 142 first-place votes in the national media poll.Sam Houston State (8-0) collected the most with 102 after the nations highest-scoring team had its season-high point total in a 66-17 non-conference win over Texas Southern. Coach K.C. Keelers Bearkats are tied for first place in the Southland Conference.The top six teams remained unchanged in the poll -- Eastern Washington (7-1) sitting third followed by North Dakota State (7-1), The Citadel (8-0) and Richmond (7-1). Eastern Washington beat Big Sky Conference rival Montana 35-16 and North Dakota State defeated Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Northern Iowa 24-20. The Citadel continued their best start in program history by topping East Tennessee State 45-10 in the Southern Conference.Richmond was idle this past weekend, but the Spiders were happy to rest up for Saturdays showdown against the CAA Football rival sitting right behind them, No. 7 James Madison (7-1). The Dukes, who hold a slight lead in the conferences crowded title race, routed Rhode Island 84-7 -- the most points scored by an FCS team this season.Charleston Southern (5-2), Chattanooga (8-1) and Villanova (6-2) completed the Top 10.MEAC leader North Carolina A&T (7-1) moved up one spot to No. 11 followed by Western Illinois (6-2), South Dakota State (5-3), Cal Poly (6-2), Youngstown State (6-2), North Dakota (7-2), Central Arkansas (7-1), Coastal Carolina (6-2), Montana (5-3) and Samford (6-2).Rounding out the Top 25 were Grambling State (5-1); New Hampshire (6-3), which re-entered after a six-week absence; Harvard (6-1); newcomer Lehigh (7-2), the Patriot League leader; and Stony Brook (5-3).Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State fell from the Top 25, and a season-high 11 FCS conferences were represented in it, led by the CAA with five.A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries select the STATS FCS Top 25. In the voting, a first-place vote is worth 25 points, a second-place vote 24 points, all the way down to one point for a 25th-place vote.The Top 25 is released every Monday afternoon during the regular season, except for Sunday morning, Nov. 20, prior to the selection of the 24-team FCS playoff field. A final Top 25 will follow the FCS championship game, which will be held Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Hoodie/ .

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- John Hussey had an idea. Turned out to be a good one.The referee and his field judge, Rick Patterson, called over Odell Beckham Jr., then Josh Norman, to warn them that anything close to the shenanigans the receiver and cornerback were involved in last December simply wont be allowed Sunday. Hussey wasnt prompted by the NFL to deliver his lectures to the Giants and Redskins stars before the game.John understood the magnitude of the game, Troy Vincent, who is in charge of football operations for the league, told The Associated Press. Coaches and players were addressed in a professional manner to play within the whistles.They generally did, though Norman did draw a personal foul for a hit not on Beckham but on rookie Sterling Shepard. And Beckham had a sideline meltdown that turned comical when he threw his helmet at the kicking net, only to have the net ricochet off his head.There was even an ejection, the first under the new rule hastened by Beckham-Norman I last December when Norman was in the midst of an All-Pro season for Carolina. But the player with that dubious honor was Giants center Weston Richburg for getting two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties -- including one while addressing Norman.Its crucial for officials to lay down the parameters for a game, and to remind players, particularly those who have egregiously broken the rules before, that they are being watched closely. If other referees follow Husseys lead, Richburgs expulsion under the new rule that was backed by Commissioner Roger Goodell might stand alone.Neither Norman nor Beckham appreciated the words of wisdom from Hussey, but with a clearer view of the potential for more problems that their matchup presented, perhaps they wouldnt have been so upset.And they sure were upset.They pulled me off to the side and said, `We are not going to make a mockery of the game, Norman said. I dont know if that was from the top, or (Hussey) saying that directly to me.Wow. What am I doing? Im just playing a sport that God has blessed us with and being as physical as I can be within the rules and the confinnes of what they ask us to do.dddddddddddd That (mockery) was a big word. I kind of felt bad.At the same time, I appreciate the officials. They really did a good job of controlling the game. It didnt get out of hand.Moments earlier, Hussey and Patterson laid down the law to Beckham, who last week was fined $36,000 for a crack-back block on Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro.That was two incidents fewer than he had against Norman last December. There were plenty of nasty words aimed at each other back then, and some excuses for the near-brawling.Beckham subsequently was suspended for a game, and when Norman signed as a free agent with Washington, it meant two meetings per season for the foes.They implemented a new rule this year. Its basically the Odell Beckham Jr. rule, said Beckham, whose boss, Giants owner John Mara, championed the rule. I had three personal fouls last year, so they said if you come out and get one personal foul and another one for the same thing (you are ejected). Today, they came up before the game and said, if you do anything, were throwing you out of the game. That was before the game.There was no you get a warning. There was not any of that. You just have to be on your best behavior. Unfortunately, thats what its come to. Its not really football anymore as much as it is all the other things that play into it.Beckham has no interest in playing what he sees as a gridiron political game. One of the characteristics that makes him so dynamic is his ability to perform on the edge. He is a playmaker and sometimes a game breaker, and toning down his style could diminish his contributions.But toning down his act when it comes to, well, acting out is a big difference. Hussey, and by extension the league, did not tell Beckham or Norman to turn into nerds. The intent was to inspire them to play clean, but energetic football.Despite a few missteps, they general did. And thats a good thing.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jerseys NFL China Cheap Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap China Womens NFL Jerseys Jerseys NFL China Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap NFL Jerseys China Discount NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap NFL Jerseys China Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys 2018 ' ' '
