HAMPTON, Virginia -- The preseason poll, as voted on by league coaches and sports information directors, with analysis by David Hall:1. Bethune-Cookman (8-0 MEAC, 9-3): After a perfect MEAC season, the team returns seven starters on both sides of the ball as it looks to make a deep run in the playoffs.
2. South Carolina State (4-4, 5-6): A surprise pick at No. 2, the Bulldogs got voters’ attention by returning 17 starters, including QB Richard Cue (1,819 yards, 11 TDs).
3. North Carolina A&T (5-3, 7-4): After a season under APR sanctions, the defense-minded Aggies are eligible for the postseason.
4. N.C Central (5-3, 6-5): Accurate QB Jordan Reid hopes to lead the Eagles to a second straight winning season, starting at Duke on Saturday.
5. Florida A&M (4-4, 4-7): With 15, the Rattlers led the MEAC in field goals last season. More TDs would mean more wins.
6. Howard (6-2, 7-4): Senior SS David Julien (MEAC-best 108 tackles) is an All-American candidate. He’ll be needed when the Bison visit Old Dominion on Sept. 14.
