PRESENTS:
Dr. Cavils HBCU Major and Mid-Major Division Preseason Poll Rankings are based on a combination of a ranking algorithm and a voting system. It is
the original HBCU sports poll that separates the rankings (since 2002) of NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I member HBCU
institutions into two distinct categorical polls: Major and Mid-Major (This format is unlike the historic SBN Poll).

The Major Division Poll, consist of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) [formerly I-AA] programs and the Mid-Major Division
Poll, which consist of both NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I programs. This format was introduced to the public based on the request of Black
College blogging fans and on the research that consists of data mining and the difference in scholarship limitation requirements beset by NCAA and
NAIA bylaws (i.e. maximum allotment: Division I FCS = 63, Division II = 36 and NAIA = 24).

Inside the HBCU Huddle Columnists

"INSIDE THE HBCU HUDDLE" is here for its fourth annual weekly release featuring multiple Major Division and Mid-Major
Division "HBCU Games of the Week" analysis with columnist Demetrius Gatewood and executive editor Dr. J. Kenyatta
Cavil.

Powered by The Heritage Group (www.THG-Agency.com), an applied data analysis, sports entertainment consulting and
management company, the HBCU Football Rankings are based on a combination of ranking algorithms and a voting
system.

The polls separate the rankings of NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I member HBCU institutions into
two distinct poll categories: Major and Mid-Major. Unlike the SBN Poll which groups all HBCUs together regardless of
competition level, the Major Division Poll consists of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) [formerly
I-AA] programs and the Mid-Major Division Poll includes NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I programs.

"INSIDE THE HBCU HUDDLE" is a weekly HBCU Major Division and Mid-Major Division Reports by Demetrius Gatewood
and Dr. J. Kenyatta Cavil that takes a featured look at the HBCU gridiron action and predicted winners as well as scores
surrounding HBCU Major Division and Mid-Major Division football. Dr. Cavils Inside the HBCU Sports Lab with Ryan
McGinty and Mike Washington on KCOH 1230AM radio (www.kcohradio.com) show will announce and preview key Top 10
matchups to watch and review the top three teams in Dr. Cavils HBCU Major Division Football Top 10 Poll Rankings every
