(STATS) -- Now you see, now you dont.Thats the scenario with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, who are playing their final season in the FCS as an independent while they transition to the FBS level next season.Officially, Coastal is already a member of the Sun Belt Conference -- having joined on July 1, just one day after the Chanticleers baseball team won the College World Series while representing the Big South Conference.But Coastal isnt eligible for the FBS level until next year, so its football program will play a lame-duck, 12-game schedule against FCS teams. While the Chants arent eligible for the FCS playoffs after making appearances each of the last four years, they should win often this year behind their growing talent under coach Joe Moglia and eight games at home.Yet, a question persists: Will Coastal get its due in the STATS FCS Top 25?The Chants have appeared in the national media poll for 44 consecutive weeks over three seasons. But recent history suggests some backlash, as voters demonstrated in 2013 while FCS national powers Georgia Southern and Appalachian State played their final season in the subdivision before rising to the FBS, also in the Sun Belt.Voters were lukewarm about recognizing the two Southern Conference members, whose programs combined for nine FCS national titles, as poll-worthy.Both teams were coming off playoff seasons in 2012, with Georgia Southern reaching the national semifinals for the third consecutive year. But Georgia Southerns No. 9 ranking in the preseason poll was the only time either team was ranked in the Top 10. Once both teams fell from the rankings during the season, they didnt return.Appalachian State deserved it, falling to 4-8 -- its first losing season in 20 years. But Georgia Southern finished 7-4 with a season-ending win at Florida and probably deserved to be part of the final Top 25.Like those two teams, Coastal Carolina is going above the FCS scholarship limit of 63 as part of its transition to the FBS maximum of 85. That gives voters more reason to discount the Chants than just negativity over a program leaving the FCS behind.But the NCAA recognizes Coastal as an FCS member this season and 12 FCS schools didnt have a problem with scheduling the Chanticleers.It will be interesting to see how voters perceive them this season.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Italian Daniele Garozzo stunned top-ranked American Alexander Massialas to win the gold medal Sunday in mens foil fencing.Garozzo beat Massialas -- who was seeking to become the first American man to win at the Olympics in the modern version of the sport -- 15-11 to give Italy its second gold of the Rio Games.Massialas rallied from six points down in the quarterfinals, but he gave up six straight points to Garozzo in the final as the Italian ran away with the match.Still, Massialas is the first individual Olympic medalist the U.S. has produced in mens fencing since Peter Westbrook won a bronze in 1984, and the first U.S. mens foil medal since 1960, when Albie Alexrod won the bronze.Russias Timur Safin took bronze.Few seemed as shocked to see the 11th-ranked Garozzo topple the American more than the fencer himself. Garozzo ditched his mask and ran the length of the piste to salute a Brazilian crowd that had decided to back the underdog.Officials forced a jubilant Garozzo back to the strip before awarding him the 15th and final point.In retrospect, what happened in thee final wasnt terribly surprising, since Massialas needed one of the biggest rallies in recent Olympic history simply to reach the semifinals.ddddddddddddHe cruised to victory in his first two matches before running into Italys Giorgio Avola, who got on a run and jumped ahead 14-8 in a sport in which 15 points clinches victory.Massialas rallied with seven straight points, drawing the crowd to its feet with his winning touch.The highly anticipated semifinal matchup between Massialas and teammate Gerek Meinhardt failed to materialize when Meinhardt lost to Great Britains Richard Kruse 15-13.Garozzo beat Safin 15-8 to earn a shot at the gold medal, while Massialas rolled past Kruse 15-9.Massialas, Meinhardt, Race Imboden and Miles Chamley-Watson, who lost his first match, will compete again Friday as one of the favorites in the team competition.Well all be able to recover and get refocused, Meinhardt said. All of us are ready. ... We know its our best chance. ' ' '
