James Madison must be making fellow Sun Belt Conference programs wonder "who invited these guys?"
On Saturday, when Appalachian State visits James Madison for a key Sun Belt East battle, it might be the biggest challenge yet for the undefeated and 18th-ranked Dukes.
The 18th-ranked Dukes have been the dominant football team in the league since they joined last season, winning 12 of 14 games. James Madison (10-0, 6-0 Sun Belt ) is making transitioning from a Championship Subdivision team to a Bowl Subdivision team look easy.

The College Football Playoff rankings will be released for the first time this season on Tuesday night and there is one unbeaten team guaranteed to be left out of the selection committee's top 25. James Madison (8-0), ranked No. 23 in the AP Top 25, is ineligible for postseason play as it completes an NCAA-required transition period to the highest level of Division I football, the Bowl Subdivision. Since the CFP rankings are solely to determine postseason assignments for two playoff games and four marquee bowls, the Dukes are ineligible to be ranked.
