Worst-case scenario, 1-3. Best-case, 2-2.

RE: East Carolina OOC 2017
I have been around long enough to know you don't count ECU out. I will say this, they tend to have the typical NC football college curse. When the expectations are predicted for a good season, that is when the schools bombs. When it is for a bad year, watch out for them to over acheive.

One sad thing I think you will be seeing, UNC and NCSU playing them less and less. You would have thought by now UNC would have extended the series with one game left. NCSU has two left and typically the series has been extended by now. Then again, ECU may be looking not to renew, not like they have not spanked my Wolfpack that past few years. I guess we will see when the new AD takes over in 2018.

were is the history of #1 fcs you've beaten?

ndsu has beaten top 25 fbs teams ...98% of fcs are pure scrimmages ..jmu isn't one of those...and your team wasn't good last year and technically even rebuilding this year

i know realistic expectations isn't a strong suit of ecu fans, but this is a lose-able game (not saying you will lose for sure, but its likely jmu will be the vegas favorite )

We aren't going to lose to James Madison. Trust me. James Madison isn't vintage NDSU, either.

We will beat them. I wouldn't be surprised if we trail early or are even down at half. But we will pull away in the 2nd half and win by at least 2 TD's.

Nope 4-0

Why is everyone hating on ECU on the message board? We are one of the few schools in this conference who has attendance that is worth anything, it is not like we have a 20,000 person stadium, and no one shows up, and we never win. We have a top 25 team in Virginia Tech coming to our stadium and play a top 25 team on the road in West Virginia. Plus the FCS Champ coming to our stadium and BYU. 3 out of 4 games at home, should be 47,000+ for each game. I say we go 2-2, with a chance at 3-1. Even last year when we only won 3 games, we went 2-2 in non-conference and nearly beat South Carolina on the road.

attendance smack rebuttal in a thread about how good your football team will be... that is exactly why

I love and am envious of the OOC schedule. In a perfect world, this is how all P5 and G5 schools should schedule. Of course, we know that we have P5 schools who refuse to and on the other hand some G5's who refuse to as well.

saying 3 win ecu replacing replacing its 2 best offensive player in an offensive team "might" (not even "will") lose to the #1 fcs team is irony....then accept reality as irony then

and if it's about my views of houston, i have nowhere touched ecu's level of unrealistic....my basketball debates are with ucf. not cincy smu or wsu....my football debates are we wont finish second to last in the division, not that we will dominate the league...

saying their is no chance you lose to a team that most might favor to beat you, isnt anything remotely close to me

Check out SDSU's schedule for 2017.

09/02 - UC Davis
09/09 - at Arizona State
09/16 - Stanford
09/30 - Northern Illinois

This is exactly what a good G5 programs OOC schedule should look like. Play regional P5 teams, and FCS team (or low level G5 team not named South Alabama :-) and a historically good G5 program.

We always play the toughest OOC schedule it seems like. We did it in C-USA, and we are doing it in the American.

Who are the two best players we lost? We lost a QB that played scared after his concussion and a WR that had a record year due to two players not playing. I believe we're slated to have both back (with one being our deep threat that caused us to be predictable last year) along with a P5 QB and some help on both lines.

I'm not saying we will win the conference (ECU fans only read this: WE'LL WIN THE CONFERENCE LADS!) but we should win around 5-7 games this season like the track of a rebuilding process looks. The issue is a lot of our fans didn't (and some still don't) think this was a rebuilding process and that Ruff was not only a bad coach but bad recruiter.

Under Ruff we had like 2-3 drafted players (counting Jones this year) that He recruited. This was the lowest number of drafted players from ECU in several decades. It was so bad even John Thompson had more of his recruits drafted. I admit ECU have delusions sometimes but up until Ruff we had always been realistic in hindsight, but since Ruff was an alumni and the way his firing was handled some sections of the fanbase have lost that trait.
