Curious to see if they continue to have success in a conference that brings solid competition.

Personally, I expect success from the CCU, but I doubt they continue to be a dominate team like we have been accustomed to in the past 10 years! That's not saying they won't be dominate, but they will be tested from FunBelt members

If we aren't top 2, I would be surprised. If we aren't top three, I'll be pissed.

The sun belt is absolutely a step up for our in conference schedule. But we've proven in OOC performance and post season performances through the years that our success is not DUE TO the crappy big south conference, but rather IN SPITE OF the crappy big south conference.

Some years we'll finish 1st, probably some years below 3rd - but I think we'll be considered one of the top 3 teams overall with time.

I agree.

All I am saying is that as a general rule, I would be pretty mad if there were 3 teams in the sun belt consistently beating us in the conference standings. Which I do not expect that to happen with the caliber of our program as a whole.

There will obviously be up and down years, as with every program, and the sun belt has some stout competition. However, Coastal is as good as the best teams in the Belt, and I expect them to show it.
