Bethune-Cookman football second in final BoxToRow Media Poll
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on December 09, 2014 The Bethune-Cookman football team finished in second place in the final BoxToRow Media Poll, announced Monday afternoon from the BoxToRow home office in Raleigh, N.C. For the Wildcats, the second place finish marks the third consecutive year the team has finished in the top three of the final HBCU national poll. Bethune-Cookman ended the year with a record of 9-3 overall, 6-2 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). That league mark allowed the Maroon and Gold to secure a share of the MEAC title. For B-CU, the MEAC title is the third of its kind in as many years, and the fourth overall in head coach Brian Jenkins’ five years at the helm in Daytona Beach. Alcorn State was named BoxToRow HBCU National Champions – the first of its kind for the Braves, under the direction of third-year head coach Jay Hopson. Alcorn State won its first SWAC championship since 1994 by defeating Southern 38-24 on Saturday. The Braves received the majority of the first-place votes with five other teams also receiving at least one first-place vote. The final poll was reflective of the parity of the 2014 football season. For the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman, last year’s BoxToRow HBCU National Champion, the school received one first-place vote, finishing in second place, six points ahead of Southern who finished in third place. North Carolina A&T also received a first place vote finishing No. 4. CIAA champion Virginia State received three first place votes and rounded out the top five. It was the Trojans highest finish ever in the BoxToRow poll. Morgan State, South Carolina State and North Carolina Central – all three were MEAC co-champions with Bethune-Cookman and North Carolina A&T – finished No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8, respectively. The BOXTOROW Media Poll is administered by FROM THE PRESS BOX TO PRESS ROW and is voted on by media members around the country who cover HBCU football. 2014 BOXTOROW HBCU Football Media Top 10 Poll Final: http://boxscorenews.com/bethunecookman-foo...
