I do think Mizzou is a toss, but if we win we will play like crap against Murray. Not lose but still. NMSU isn't a guarantee either. Liberty won't be last year good, but will still compete for the crown.

I was there several years ago when MT spoiled Mizzou’s HC

And.....we get the bowl W for a third year in a row against a MAC team (Toledo?) and finish 9-4

A 9-4 (.692) for the season with a 3peat bowl win....I for sure wouldn't fuss or say a bad word and absolutely would consider that continuing an upward trend.

Honestly it absolutely is possible. I could see us going anywhere from 5-7 to 9-3. Liberty and WKU I think are the top two and I don't feel there is much difference between the rest.

I think Colorado St will decide our season. We win that 8-4 is possible. Lose that and we’re lucky to get to 6 wins.

 

[SpaceRaider]

looking at the schedule I see 5 or 6 wins

 

[FranklinRaider315]

11-1

 

[MTTim]

I still think Stuckstill is due a 3/9 or 4/8 season.

 

[crposton]

11-1

With the one loss to Murray State

Death, taxes, and Stockstill going .500. Half our wins will come after November 1st, so no one will actually notice.

And honestly, I know nothing about the newbs except for Liberty, so the wins I gave them over SHSU and JaxState are just because. Those teams could probably be a lot better than i'm giving them credit for.

I think SHSU isn't a gimme. JSU will be tough as Rich Rod recruits well. SHSU was 5-4 last year but that isn't indicative of coach Keeler. He's 85-27 there. JSU was 9-2 last year, RR's first. FYI they beat Murray St 34-3 last year.

I kinda wish we had SHSU at the beginning of the season. Their first three games are against BYU, Air Force, and Houston. They will be wore down big time after that.

SHSU redshirted a bunch of upper classmen to get ready for the transition

 

[SpaceRaider]

I'm glad we don't have North Alabama and Austin Peay on the schedule...

I mean we go after the same recruits.

Yeah they will not be last years SHSU.

 

[DisgruntledAlum]

Thoughts?

#6

I see others that should be much higher.

 

[DisgruntledAlum]

I think the bottom two are a toss up.

I myself don't think that is even a question. I'd feel confident saying Liberty even this year. And I think the FCS jumps will be more than capable in just a few years.

 

[DisgruntledAlum]

I can only see one or two on this list.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Let's turn that question around:

Of the old teams staying in the CUSA, who will be the last to win the new league title in FB?

Anyone want to bet against Middle Tennessee?

All six will do it before Stockstill does
