If Tulsa can jump again next season at least half as much as they did last season, we'll be in serious business as long as our offense can stay lethal.

Aaaaand, there's Navy dropping from 51 to 100. Injuries and youth on D in '16. '17 projects well...

One of these years UC's offense and defense will be good together. It has to happen sometime.

Didn't mention our decliners:

USF - 49th to 110th
UConn - 32nd to 87th
Navy - 51st to 100th
ECU - 69th to 104th

Pretty crazy that, out of 32 teams mentioned (of 128 total teams), we had 8 on the list. Law of averages would say that we would have 3.2 teams on it. (32 teams out of 10 conferences, give or take a few for different conference sizes).

Tulane played better last year than they did when they went to a bowl in C-USA recently. The competition was just tougher.

I'm very optimistic about football and baseball in this conference. Basketball is kinda scary right now until Dunleavy turns the ship.

Imagine what USF could have accomplished if it's defense hadn't dropped

There are only two programs where basketball isn't scary. I never expected that when the league formed.

DEAR FRIENDS,

THERE IS AN OMNIPOTENT TROLL NAMED "p23570" WHO IS ATTACKING THE BOARD IN WAYS I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.


THIS GUY MAKES BIG EAST HOMER LOOK LIKE THE POPE.


I AM ASKING YOU ALL TO PUT ASIDE YOUR DIFFERENCES, SAVE YOUR BATTLES FOR A LATER DAY, AND COME TOGETHER.


IMAGINE A SMART VERSION OF BIG EAST HOMER WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS A LITTLE ABOUT FOOTBALL, AND PERHAPS MORE VICIOUS.


HE MAY NOT HAVE A THOUSAND USERNAMES LIKE BEH (Tigersmoke, Phil Lacio etc etc etc) BUT HE IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS.


WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER. SIMPLE. WE SHALL CODE NAME p23570 the following: C3-PO. WE SHALL MAKE A MOCKERY OF THIS TROLL.

IF ANYONE SEES p23570 (AKA C3-PO) REPORT HIM AND REFER TO HIM AS THIS CODE NAME.


THANK YOU ALL.
