Switch FAU with MTSU and your list looks about right

Maybe Lane Kiffin can finally get something to put in his trophy case.

If you really believe North Texas will finish 3-9.... I think you're crazy.

North Texas finishes this season with at least 7 or 8 wins and goes bowling. Take it to the bank.

I would love to take it to the bank. Just tell me where you see 7 or 8 wins:

vs Lamar (1)
@ SMU
@ Iowa
vs UAB (2)
@ USM
vs UTSA
@FAU
vs ODU (3)
@ LA Tech
vs UTEP (4)
vs Army
@Rice

I think I took UAB over UNT, but there are definitely not 6 wins on that schedule let alone 8.

Here are the wins.

Lamar- Outmatched FCS team
UAB- 4th game back from not having football, and we get them at home
FAU- Kiffin will need more then 6 games to install his system on offense and defense
ODU- Lost some key players, coming off a tough game against WKU, andwe get them at home
UTEP- lost their running game, and we get them at home
Army- Payback for the HOD, and we get them at home
Rice- Last game of a very tough schedule for Rice (Stanford, Houston, & Pitt + conference), we beat then last year at Rice

Possible wins

SMU- Morris has yet to turn the corner at SMU
USM- Mullins and most of the defense is gone
UTSA- Hate and home might win this for us

I absolutely can't give you FAU or Rice. UNT isn't going to go to Florida & beat a decent team, that isn't how CUSA work. As for Rice, the Krispies are my darkhorse.

You also have a bye the week before we come to Denton.

I do believe you need to go immediately for a check-up at your nearest mental health facility. Do not tarry. Do not walk. Run. Run very fast, and hope that you get there in time. That said -- I fear it may already be too late.

4 wins for ODU would be a huge shock. We won more than that 2 years ago with a far inferior team.

ODU lost 2 key players; Washington and Pascal. Each of the others is easily replaceable (Pascal is replacable as well).

Im a little more uncertain about QB play than most that follow the team, but 4 wins would mean we essetnailly have a QB that cannot throw at all. This team has probably the best DL in conference, a very good OL, and very good RBs. WR and secondary are well above average.

Losing to North Texas would be a heart breaker. You expect 5 losses from UMAss, FIU, FAU, Marshall, Rice, WK, Charlotte, MTSU?

Six wins for Rice? I'll have what you're smoking. Almost no one thinks they'll win as many as four.

Operative word being "almost"

The West looks pretty sad this year outside of LT and Southern Miss. UTSA could be solid and finish 3rd. The bottom 4 are pretty bad and any order really shouldnt be a huge shock.

Tier 1 WKY

Tier 2 LT, USM, MTSU, ODU

Tier 3 UTSA, FAU, FIU, Marshall

Tier 4 North Texas, Rice,

Tier 5 UTEP, UAB, Charlotte

There. FIFY. That makes the East a little bit more realistic looking at least.

Damn McKay! You need to lay off the weed brother.

We have a lot of experience in our back-7, and way more size on the DLine. A lot points to great improvement here.

Our QB situation will apparently work itself out as the season progresses. The leash will be short, you can bet. A true freshman emerged yesterday, Marcelo Rodriguez, and threw 5 TD passes in our 2nd scrimmage. JHop mentioned the importance of having 3 QBs ready. So he's in the mix. I saw a C- passing game this past Spring game that keeps me from predicting greater than 6-8 wins for 2017.

it's all going to come down to how we scheme with our QB.....everything else is pretty dayum solid at the skill positions....I still have question marks on D....

we could win 5-6 or 9-10.....

our's is most certainly a crap shoot going into this year.....

Tier 5 UTEP, UAB, Charlotte

The west looks sad outside of Tech and UTSA you mean? I have UTSA finishing second behind Tech but it wouldn't surprise me if they win. I have USM 3rd, but that's assuming their QB is competent. UTSA should be favored at home over Southern Miss.

As for OP, ODU is going to be way better than 4-8. Ray Lawry by himself could lead this team to a bowl. Give them a decent QB and they just might win the whole dang thing.
