In general the Sunbelt is looking pretty good this season, it will be tough to come out on top. The new conference additions are largely carrying the weight this season and we're far enough into the OOC schedule that KenPom is pretty helpful.

It's probably favorable to App come March that Top 4 seeds get a bye because the early part of the conference schedule doesn't leave much room for error. App will likely have the three toughest away games of the whole conference schedule falling in the first four games. I think if this team plays the way they did against Wake at times they could sweep, but in all reality I think anything above .500 for first few weeks looks good until we hit a solid stretch of home games / weaker sunbelt opponents to close the season.
