Yale just missed making the Top 25 in this week's I-AA poll, receiving 120 votes. Central Arkansas, ranked 25th, received 133 votes.
Mike McLeod also just missed being named a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, given to the best offensive player in I-AA.
Yale's SID Steve Conn got a note earlier this year saying McLeod was close, but they wanted to see more with his yards per carry average. Harvard's Clifton Dawson is a finalist, as is San Diego quarterback Josh Johnson.
McLeod will be on the preseason list next year.
Brown's Zak DeOssie, a linebacker, was named a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, given to the best defensive player.
Jack Siedlecki is one of 16 finalists for Eddie Robinson award, given to the top coach in I-AA.
Princeton's Roger Hughes, UMass' Donald Brown and San Diego's Jim Harbaugh, were also listed.
