We are chatting with Florida A&M head football coach Willie Simmons this morning | Alison Posey, Sports Director for @abc27

North Carolina is ranked No.18 in today's AP FBS Poll, Jackson State ranked No.5 in FCS Coaches Poll, but FAMU ranked No. 20 in FCS.  Why?

He said the reality is they got snubbed - but that shouldn’t be the takeaway from the meeting. He said they bring a tremendous amount of pride to this city and this fan base. https://t.co/DqWS6wpj3d

Coach said they’ll be wondering for a long time why they were ranked 24th in the country and didn’t make the 24 team field.

“It’s just baffling and also disheartening. We have to be twice as good to get half as much.” https://t.co/31uCmspVBC

Shame we won't get to see this team in the postseason, but to win nine straight to close out the year given the way this season started, keep Bragg undefeated, and finish with a big win over B-CU is something to be proud of. https://t.co/i9wAiGtt7D
