While Florida Atlantic isn’t officially ranked yet, Lane Kiffin’s rapid turnaround of a once-dismal Owls program continues to earn attention in the “too early” polls and rankings from major news outlets.
After being ranked No. 17 in the nation by USA Today last week, FAU earned the No. 24 ranking in Sports Illustrated‘s “Post-Spring Top 25: Resetting the Pecking Order at the Offseason’s Midpoint.” Chris Johnson believes that not only do the Owls have an opportunity to play up to last year’s 11-3 record and Conference USA title, but they have a chance to surpass both those marks.
