Why? We are an underdog to even Vandy by Vegas....That is all ESPN talks about anyway, bottom feeder SEC talent is supposed to trump CUSA talent....I know its ridiculous but its national perception...When we beat down Vandy, it will be called an "upset"...Just like the 2 times we beat UK...

FAU has recruited very well. And they have a lot of talent. But to say well coached is a stretch. Coaches have yet to prove themselves.

Still a little early, I don't see WKU being underdogs at home to Vandy come game time. EDIT: My mistake it is a home game for Vandy, It is pretty much a draw with home field to Vandy.

Vandy has been terrible for a long time other than a couple of mediocre seasons. Won't be upset at all IMO.

Of course it will not be an upset to anyone who are hardcore fans on here or know CUSA...I am saying to the ESPN/SEC brainwashed crowd which is the majority, this will be an upset to them especially on road at Vandy...

-1 to -2 point favorite is basically a draw by Vegas standard with home field to Vandy

Yes I know this, but really I think if we show up and play, we are 17-20 points better than Vandy..We should be favored on paper by Vegas by a TD....Of course we could pull a Western, but we should clearly be the better team at least on Sept 3rd...

I thought it was a fair article about the conference and provided decent analysis. However, he put in very "safe" predictions and didn't go out on a limb for anybody. A few good upsets throw his predictions completely off. Last year CUSA went 4-1 in bowls including a win against P5 Illinois. That was probably not predicted beforehand.

USA Today writer is another Jerk who can't bring himself to call MT "Middle Tennessee"! Helping to drive us into obscurity by calling us "Middle Tennessee State" is just another way to P@#$ off every MT fan in the state of Tennessee. I have never heard any fan; nor has any" informed or objective" writer referred to us, as "State" Finally, he doesn't do the rest of the Conference any favors with his demeaning jibberish!
