To tell you the truth I don't know who should be last. Lindys has Tulsa last. Who knows?

To you the truth I don't know who should be last. Lindys has Tulsa last. Who knows?
True. I can't say who will be last, but I see us winning 3 conference games.

Memphis, South Florida, Temple, Tulsa, UConn: one of those five will finish last.
Cincinnati, ECU, Houston, UCF: one of those four will win the AAC championship and (separate prediction here) play in a major NYD bowl game.
SMU and Tulane are the only teams that are definitely not going to be first or last, IMHO.

IMHO Tulane isn't better than the 5 teams u mentioned and could also finish last. I watched them lose to UTSA last year and was thoroughly unimpressed by their offense. Just one man's opinion. Don't get mad, I could be wrong.

By the way, some of you guys down on USF do realize USF is recruiting by far better recruits than most/all of you, don't you. Maybe newbies aren't aware of the haul Taggart pulled in.

RE: Lindy's and sporting news college football previews are out
I think it's fair to say that UC, ECU, UH and UCF seem like the best 4, and beyond that, it could be anything.

RE: Lindy's and sporting news college football previews are out
I think USF will be a surprise team in a good way….Who will be the surprise team in a bad way???? There is usually one team many people pick as a front runner that disappoints and falls flat on their face. Could very well be my Pirates. We are solid in most areas with good experienced talent returning but there are huge questions on the oline and in the secondary…Poor play in one or both of those areas can get you beat in a hurry.
I also have not idea who will finish last….Just so many unknowns with all the new teams coming on board. I think Cincy, Houston, or UCF are the most likely candidates to win the league.

Recruiting is great and all... But let me know when Lane Kiffin wins a national title.
Blake Bortles wasn't recruited by anyone as a QB. Coached him up and the rest is history.

Obviously, Sporting News has some clue and Lindy's are a bunch of idiots.
