Charleston definitely has the tougher opening slate than we do.

While we both play national TV games on the road A&T is going to pack their place out
UNCW
@Monmouth
vs Hampton
@Elon
@A&T

Charleston
vs Hampton
@Towson
@A&T
vs Delaware

Right off the bat, Charleston has 2 games against upper level CAA while we have 0.

@A&T for Charleston is a national TV road game. While our @Monmouth is a national TV road game too A&T is going to pack their place out and have a rowdy atmosphere. Our @A&T game is also after the Charleston game so we may benefit from a hangover effect. We both play a struggling Hampton team. @Elon was a trap game last year so hopefully this year's team remembers that like they did against Jacksonville.

I'm going to be curious how CofC plays in some real road games against good competition in a rowdy atmosphere. So far their only road games were at UNC, at Presbyterian and at Coastal Carolina. They now get to start CAA play at Towson, at A&T and at UNCW. UNCW, CofC and A&T will have the best home crowds in the conference and they will face two of them to start conference play. If they can come out of the opening five CAA games undefeated they will be ranked for sure.

The students will not be back from holiday break so the atmosphere will not be as festive.
