You’ve got the conference going 41- 31. It should be even lol.

I think there will be a lot more parity than most think. Everyone will be beating everyone. I have a super longshot bet on NMSU at 30-1.

WKU likely wins the conference, with the biggest factor being the way their schedule sets up. They get MTSU and Liberty at home which is a big factor. They do have tough tests @ La. Tech and @ UTEP but I still only see them with 2 conference losses and will probably hold the tie-breakers in those scenarios. UTEP has the most favorable conference schedule of the bunch so they might be in the race (they are picked 2nd by Phil Steele), and La. Tech is my dark horse. Hank Bachmeier might be fixin' to light this conference up.

Official predictions:

1. WKU
2. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
3. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
4. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
5. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
6. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
7. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
8. Doesn't matter, you ain't first
9. Doesn't matter, you ain't first

I just threw numbers out and didn't sort it all out. It won't happen with wins losses but hey, got my point across. 🤣
