Athlon Predictions
They have us #39 in the nation and the only teams they have ranked ahead of us on the schedule are Liberty and Clemson. Just based on ratings they would have us going 10-2. I know the OL will need time to figure things out but I will admit that I feel like anything less than 9-3 this year would be a huge disappointment. The odds makers who have us with 5 losses just seems like too many to me as long as we stay healthy.

Re: Athlon Predictions
September 29th is the earliest I would even think we have a shot. We have to be undefeated at that point or we would likely need to win out from there and need some help for the playoff to be possible. Even if we are undefeated then it still might not be a clear path depending on how Memphis, Boise, etc are doing.Black Saturday wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2024 1:45 pmhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/ ... c414&ei=10

Re: Athlon Predictions
I honestly feel the same way. Seeing our place Sept 29th after the Liberty game is the earliest that we would know if we have a chance but December 7th is the real date I have my eye on. I can't waste my time thinking about going to the playoff when I don't know how goo this team will be yet. The Sun Belt is too tough of a league for me to think that far ahead.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 8:07 amDecember 7th at around 11 pm or so is earliest I will think about it even if it needs to be thought about...

Re: Athlon Predictions
Thanks for the link. They sure don't think much of our OL or DL, just one player from each on the 4th team.
Its early . . . just wish we had a few more known commodities

Re: Athlon Predictions
It has be more difficult to do these projections given the amount of portal activity that teams experience now. I'm certain most teams have a lot of question marks given the unproven or unknown talent that teams are plugging in to their lineups.AppOrange wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 1:00 pmThanks for the link.

Scroll down to the bottom and see the top four winning programs that are former FCS members.

Those schools have to play each other every year currently. It does not get much better than that.
Thirteen, Real National Championships...

Re: Athlon Predictions
Very hard to have more than 1 on the list when a team has to replace 4 starters. I just hope we have 3 or more when it matters most on the postseason coaches list.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2024 8:23 pmWell we are replacing 4 starters on the OL.AppOrange wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 1:00 pmThanks for the link.

Re: Athlon Predictions
We neee to settle in on a 7 or 8 man group that can be rotated in and out. It will be interesting to see who Cummings settles on. In talking with him, he feels good with what he has. He just needs to see how they perform when the pads get put on.
