2012 NUC FCS POLL
With over 2,000 NUC alums signing FBS and FCS football scholarships over the last two years the National Underclassmen has decided to start its own FCS Poll. Approximately half of these NUC alums signed scholarships to play at the FCS level. This poll will be updated once a week once the season begins and will run until the FCS National Championship game is played on January 5th, 2013 at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas. We hope our extended NUC family which includes alums, parents, and recruiting fans will enjoy tracking their favorite FCS schools.
