There’s a drop off after the top three teams in the projected standings, but Louisiana-Monroe, Western Kentucky, North Texas and Troy are all capable of pushing for a fourth-place finish and a winning record. The Warhawks are led by junior quarterback Kolton Browning, who should be healthy after dealing with a sternum injury most of the 2011 season. The Hilltoppers are on the rise, but must replace star running back Bobby Rainey. The Mean Green is in a similar position to Western Kentucky, as they have to replace running back Lance Dunbar, but should have an improved passing attack in 2012. Troy was the conference’s biggest disappointment last year and need a big year from quarterback Corey Robinson to get back in the mix for the conference title.

TROY plays the underdog pretty well...

This.

Don't really give a rat's arse what Athlon says. They didn't even publish a SBC section in their Southeastern magazine. Haven't checked their National mag, not interested.

No OOC wins for TROY? No.... This isn't any good. I see us beating UAB and possibly Mississippi State/Navy since they're at home.

It appears they have us losing to Memphis...

I can't see Monroe finishing aheard of WKU, or UNT.

UAB maybe. Miss State & Navy don't think so.

I couldn't see those teams beating us last year either, but it happened. The SBC tends to be unpredictable like that...

I disagree. I think Mississippi State will lose. Every Big 6 school to come to Troy has lost. And it will be a sell out crowd. I take Troy by a TD.

3-9 after last year? I don't think so. Maybe 5-7 or 6-6.

Ya they just added one more win for both MTSU and TROY.....I think MTSU will preform well and have a winning season...Your coach as to or I think he will be fired with another losing season.

I think they just moved the numbers around a bit for each team and basically posted last years records.

Yup. I was thinking that before you said anything.

I'd rather CUSA have Troy instead of UAB. If only UAB were allowed to wipe their own asses they might not be so bad.

Yeah... a little bit on the iffy side if you ask me. MT will beat McNeese and likely Memphis too this year, so I expect 5-7 to 7-5 is more likely than 3-9...
