not sure if the last month of the schedule is not tougher than the first month

We avoid Liberty, UTEP, and LaT. Play both new members with Delaware away.
Judy still can't get the WKU game right.

Love the OOC part. The conference schedule looks to be very favorable for us. Mason wont have much of an excuse this year if there is not a lot of progress this season.

 

[mtfblue]

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.

8-4 is the goal for me. Realistically, probably 7-5, but 8-4 would be a good season. I agree that going to a bowl this year should be the floor of expectations for the season

 

[RaiderDoug]

I agree with a bowl being a reasonable expectation.

AP should be cake. We have 2 newbs on the schedule (Missouri State and Delaware), 4-teams in year 1 of their new coaches (Marshall got obliterated by the portal and has a new staff and Jax, FIU, SHSU all cleaned house), and 1 team we alredy managed to beat (Kennesaw).

We possibly have the conference's best QB as well.

We should be able to find 5 wins there.

A second year coach can and should do it.

Delaware is in our conference now? What a joke. Should have jumped to the Mac when we had the chance. This “regional” conference USA is basically a flaming bag of %#*%.

Delaware has more to offer than everyone in the MAC outside of Toledo and Ohio imo. We have two major outliers with NMSU and FIU. If those two weren’t in CUSA we’d have a decent footprint. I’m good with both of them they are just on islands.

Never realized how soft Liberty's schedule is missing WKU and Sam Houston along with a P4-less OOC schedule. Path of least resistance to a G5 playoff spot. That $2 billion endowment sure is nice.
