FOOTBALL Football schedule released

really the OOC is a toss up with Marshall getting a new coach and all the players leaving, Wisconsin is a mess right now, this schedule is setup for a 8 to 10 win season if they can fix the defense and play for a conference title. If they get everything fixed cold be in play for a playoff spot, it's not far off.
 
VERY manageable schedule so no excuse for CDM this year. CUSA actually helped us out for a change and set us up to be in the conference championship hunt late this season.
 
This looks a lot easier than 2024. There's no one on the schedule that looks like unbeatable on any given Saturday.

Time for the rubber to meet the road here for Mason.
 
Half of our conference games and five total have a new HC. Marshall, Jax, KSU, SHSU, and FIU. And four of those five are first time head coaches.
Between that, the well spaced out games, only one P4, two first year FBS teams (although I think Delaware will be better than decent), and CDM having a full off season to set things up, there is zero reason not to go to a bowl. At a minimum. If we don't, ruh roh.

Anything below a bowl is a failure. Honestly I feel like anything below 8-4 is a let down. Outside of Wisconsin, we should be able to match up with every other team. I wouldn’t want to be CDM because he isn’t going to be able to talk his way around it if they struggle this season.
