Most likely, the one with the easiest schedule for the nonconference games through September.

I dunno...I agree those two have a good shot, but la tech and ODU have a shot...
I would say we could too if we had an offense... I don't think we'll beat Nc state

If WKU can somehow find a way to beat Illinois, the next week knocks either WKU or La Tech out since we play each other.

UTSA. They still have not played, it's hard to lose that way.

RE: Who's going to be the last undefeated C-USA team?
UAB has winnable games @ Ball St then at home against Coastal Carolina. The gameplan was really vanilla yesterday so hard to say much about offense other than that there is talent there, but defense was beastly even considering the opponent. If the Blazers are good enough to take those 2 games the next one is at North Texas which would have to be considered winnable if UAB comes in 3-0. Then it's La Tech and MTSU at home after a bye week, so even if the stars align to reach 4-0 UAB is looking at 1 loss there and likely 2.

RE: Who's going to be the last undefeated C-USA team?
UAB: Ball st, C. Carolina, UNT, La tech. Underdog in all 4 games.
Marshall: NC state, Kent state, Cincinnati. Underdog in NC state game by a lot and even with Cincinnati.
ODU: UMass (even), North Carolina, Virginia tech. Underdog last 2 games by a lot.
La tech: Miss st, WKU, NC state. Underdog in all 3 games.
UTSA: Houston (no game, undefeated), Baylor, Southern, TXST. Underdog only for Baylor (and we all saw Baylors performance last night).
WKU: Illinois, Latech, Ballst, UTEP. Underdog against Illinois. Slightly favored against la tech.
UNT: SMU, Iowa. Underdogs in both by a lot.
Only teams likely to make it out of the next 3 games undefeated is WKU and UTSA. If they do, WKU is favored up until they play Vanderbilt. UTSA is favor up until they play Latech at the last game. If I were to put it in order of likelyhood of teams going undefeated;
UTSA (just has to get past Baylor), WKU (just has to get past Illinois and Latech), La tech, ODU, UAB, UNT, Marshall..

According to Predictor, Marshall will open as an 18.5 point underdog to NC State, but curious about the Kent State comment. Predictor has Marshall as a 12 point favorite if they played this week, Kent had 1 yard passing this week, their head coach will be out for the game, and they are projected to finish last in the division that the Miami team Marshall just beat got the most first place votes to win. If anything, Marshall will be a relatively big home favorite against Kent.

I have no idea which of us will be the last to suffer a loss, but I do seem to see an issue with the possible gap between the top and bottom programs.

You're right. That was my bad. Was looking over espns predictions for everyone too fast and had a brain fart. My bad in the Kent st part.
But does it change Marshall still being in the running to be undefeated, which is the point of this thread? Most likely no because Marshall needs to first get past NC state which NC state has a 94% win prediction. If for some miracle they do, they are at close to even odds against Cincinnati. Then there is MT which you are underdogs. So maybe it bumps you up to third on my overall list, but then again that's if you beat NC state which I don't see happening. Curious to what you are referring to that I said about Marshall that's been bugging you?

While I agree with you that we will probably not beat NC State, this Marshall team thus far reminds me of the team that took down #6 Kansas State in Manhatten. the KEU team that won the Big 12 that year (or at least made the ccg).... anemic offense, but good defense and special teams.... and historically, we play NC State pretty well...

RE: Who's going to be the last undefeated C-USA team?
If we beat NCState and Cincy (very unlikely), MTSU will not be favored against us. It's kind of moot to use future favorites to determine this undefeated outcome. Who's favored will change dramatically as a team approaches undefeated.

Oh of course. ESPN doesn't get it right all the time, but most, yes. I was going to give my own insight on each team and game, but thought it would be less time consuming and easier to just reference espn since my prediction is similar (not exact).
It's hard to tell how the season will play out, but if Marshall beats NCST and Cincy, then yeah I would say they would be favored against MT. I just can't write off MT right now after the game against Vandy cuz, well they are Vandy. I can say Marshall does look better than last year. Hoping you guys can pull an upset against NCst.
But I agree, espn isn't always the best source. Heck last week UTSA was favored against UNT. UTSA didn't even play this week and they dropped in rankings and now UNT is favored. Same thing happened to Houston for not playing. But yeah, it is what it is for now.
