Come on, you know we're both beating Vandy this year. Maybe you were considering the road game vs home game, but MT is 3-0 in Bowling Green in the FBS era.

Did you understand the thread?

More confident we'll beat WKU, Marahall and Vandy than a middling FCS squad and a transitioning Charlotte?

Understand perfectly, there is a wager involved!

I'm looking forward to the ODU game as them playing FBS football in their second year I'm sure that they wouldn't want to lose to you. It might turn out to be a rivalry.

You're right. Charlotte and Norfolk State are must wins for us... IMO. I can develop plausible excuses for all of the rest.

Sounds like you made a sound bet...

We may beat Jackson State by a larger margin than all our other wins combined.

I think a lot of Topper fans are fearing Vandy more than they likely should, myself included. When you look at it logically Middle is a better team but the fact that Vandy plays in the SEC and had some pretty good teams under Franklin makes them appear more formidable but when you look at their games last seasons and where they are being ranked in preseason polls you have to think WKU should be a big favorite to beat the Commodores along with Middle.

If all three teams are anything close to what they were last year, Vandy should go 0-2 against us.

Last year Vandy lost to Temple by 30 and their three wins in 2014 came against UMASS, ODU and Charleston Southern by a combined 18 points.

If we had any kind of defense against them we would have walked away with our first p5 win. I wouldn't sleep on them but if nothing changed in a year you should take a w.

Temple, who is ranked significantly ahead of you in the FPI and finished with the same record as you, Temple?

That's the one. A thumping like that would have deserved italics for 90% of the G5
