With game week a week away I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on how many wins CUSA will get in week 1

Not looking to start smack yet but listing individual games so you'll know who plays who:

WKU host Bowling Green
UTSA at Houston
UAB host Troy
FAU at Nebraska
Marshall at Miami (OH)
ODU host Hampton
Rice at Notre Dame
USM at Mississippi St
La Teach at Oklahoma
FIU host Bethune Cookman
Middle Tennessee host Savannah St
UNT at Texas
UTEP at New Mexico

UTSA/UH and UTEP/New Mexico are toss-ups for me so I split it to arrive at six wins with UAB, Marshall, ODU, FIU, MTSU

I see 6. Would love for the league to have a winning record, though.

6 or 7

I think 7

Four wins

not to be a pessimist but i sure hope we win. Bethune spanked us last year.

Go FIU!!!

5 games against P5 - 1 win (Rice or UNT)
2 games vs AAC/MWC - 2 wins
6 games vs the rest - 6 wins

Yeah, I could only find 4 that I would feel comfortable saying are wins. A few toss ups, but thats it. Sorry FIU, I can't count your game as a win.

Toss ups to me were UAB, FAU, UTSA, and UTEP.

WKU host Bowling Green 1
UTSA at Houston
UAB host Troy
FAU at Nebraska
Marshall at Miami (OH) 2
ODU host Hampton 3
Rice at Notre Dame
USM at Mississippi St
La Tech at Oklahoma
FIU host Bethune Cookman 4
Middle Tennessee host Savannah St 5
UNT at Texas
UTEP at New Mexico 6

6 wins!

Don't let me down, UTEP!

That's what I did. Four "should be" locks and one from the 50/50s for a total of 5. I really wanted to pick one more from Rice, USM, LaTech, and UNT, hoping one will pull off the miracle. But if brain is making the call I say 5. I did call Utep/UNM a 50/50 as well. With four of those if we split them then we could have 6 wins. That's the only place I see it coming from with any confidence.

6 wins

I thought about it, but unless New Mexico is having a down year I just don't see it.

Edit: nevermind just looked them up, that's probably a 50/50 too then.
