Man, y'all have an easy schedule. NMSU, Idaho, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and App. That's five games where you should be big favorites.

To get to six you'll have to win one of @USA, ULL, @ULM. Possible, especially if ULM or USA have QB change over issues.

No Arkansas State. No Texas State

OOC - @UAB (not a gimmie and they'll have something to prove - but you guys should be at least even money there), some FCS moveup (win), Duke at home (a reach but you could win), and then a game you'll probably lose (@Georgia).

Yea, barring some collapse, you guys should be bowling next year. You guys have 7 games where you'll be favored or even money, and then you have 4 plausible upsets in case you get upset somewhere in the 7 games where you'll be favored.

Not much of a season for exciting games, but that's a bowl inducing schedule if I've ever seen one. If you guys don't get to a bowl, then that's a sign of big problems.

Id say Georgia Southern and Troy have two of the easiest schedules in the league by far. GSU misses both ASU and ULL, while Troy misses ASU and hosts ULL.

If I was honest, I think App State has the hardest schedule.
