In a press release from the University of Albany the CAA preseason ranking was released:

Six teams in the CAA won at least six games in 2019, while eight went at least .500 in conference play.  Additionally, eight teams won between three and five games on their CAA schedules.  The CAA sent three teams, UAlbany, James Madison, and Villanova, to the FCS Playoffs last season.
