Well I don't know who's schedule is easier on paper but both teams will have a difficult time of running the table. Just look at what happened to the Cajuns last year we were coasting one broken arm and two rivalry games later we were sharing the conference champion ship any thing can happen.

Ole Miss will beat ULL 3 TDs+

Other than that keeping Broadway healthy will be paramount to win the Sun Belt.

stAte/Troy do not have a better 22 but may very well a better 2 deep imo.USA is a wild card as nobody played more erratically week to week last year.

Hears to a healthy season to us all

And that would be based upon what, your knowledge of UL's 2 deep? I thought I would ask because their is no depth chart listed anywhere for the Cajun's 2 deep. I have no idea what Arky's or Troy's depth chart will look like since fall camp just began. Sounds like speculation at this time.

Preseason == speculation...

There is speculation and well, just plain stupid.

He is not saying one conference schedule is harder than the other. The only reason that Marshall would get into a more prestigious bowl is due to bowl contracts with CUSA over SBC. That's something we can't change in a year, but the NOB is a very nice bowl too.

I didn't miss anything, I never argued any point other than the two conference slates are fairly close in ease/difficulty.

The better bowl argument is silly(or premature at the very least) because neither team has a shot at the access bowl without going 12-0 and even then both would need help from other G5's better positioned than either of them not going undefeated.

IF Louisiana and Marshall both go undefeated and no other G5 does it's a near certainty that Louisiana gets the nod, unless Boise and Mississippi both have surprisingly bad years and Ohio win the MAC and a couple of CUSA schools have surprise years.

I wasn't calling you out, I was just explaining the confusion.

I understood that Rowdy was agreeing with me, you didn't(and as you pointed out he could have been more clear), when you disagreed with him I was confused because it seemed like you were saying two different things, that's all.

I think we're on the same page now.

When you write what you mean confusion happens less often.

It was a simple misunderstanding pal.

I dont think so. marshall will benefit all season from the heisman hype surrounding their QB and an undefeated season would hype them into the forefront.

I think at the end of this year SOS will start to mean A LOT more than it has in the past.

Marshall, playing that schedule will have as much Heisman hype as an FCS QB. It is unfortunate as when they signed a couple of those games their MAC opponents were decent.
