East Standings:

1. Marshall
2. MTSU
3. WKU
4. ODU (7-6 with a bowl win!)
5. FAU
6. FIU
7. UNC-C (winless again)

West Standings:

1. LA Tech
2. USM
3. Rice
4. UNT
5. UTEP
6. UTSA

Marshall defeats LA Tech in the title game. ODU is much improved. ODU will make some serious noise during the '17-'18 season!

I'll take it!

Since 2015 is officially done, I'm glad someone got this going.

The East...

I've got to say, we as a conference will be very formidable next year.

Marshall and MTSU are poised with young QB's with very bright furures.

WKU will be bringing some talent back next year. I look for them to have a season like we just had, so they will be tough.

ODU with probably the favorite to be 2016 CUSA OPOY in Ray Lowery (I see a lot of Ahmad Bradshaw in him)

FAU will look to carry over their near upset winning squad over Florida into 2016. And I noticed FIU is starting to build some momentum as well. Charlotte has a few more years, but I don't doubt they will be competitive again in spots.

Also, I admittedly am not as up on our west brothers, but I've got to disagree with you at the top. I would think Southern Miss with Mullins coming back as a Senior next year they should be the favorite.

I like USM in the West due to Mullens vs Tech with a rookie QB and game at USM.

USM will be the team to beat in the West.

UTEP, Rice, and Tech will be competitive.

UTSA, UNT will be better but by how much, who knows.

UAB will have to have practice games. I think they should travel to Tech and USM for early scrimmages in the fall.

Will Tech be breaking in a rookie QB? Are there no holdover sophomores or juniors who know the system? Just asking...

They all know the system but the only one who has played has been a bit of a disaster.

We'll have a senior who has never impressed. He was one of our 2013 starters. It will probably be a RS SO or RS FR starting for us next year.

I'll go with a homer pick in USM in the West, and will go with Marshall in the East...

It all depends on how bad our defense is next year.

EAST

1. WKU
2. Marshall
3. MTSU
4. ODU
5. FAU
6. FIU
7. Charlotte

Top 4 will go bowling, FAU has outside shot.

WEST

1. USM
2. La Tech
3. Rice
4. UTEP
5. UTSA
6. UNT

I think only the top two are kicks for bowls, with Rice and UTEP having a shot.

USM gets revenge over WKU in title game.

I just don't see this happening. And I'm not one of the rude ones. I just honestly don't see how you will get out of Huntington next year with the win.

And for those WKU faithful ready to pounce, I was one last year who was on the other side of this. I knew after we lost Cato we just wouldn't be able to hold as the top dog again.

I think we've got another good one in Chase Litton. And like MTSU, will have that oh most important position locked down for the next 3 seasons.

I can actually see the East bouncing back and forth the next few seasons simply by looking at who will be hosting who. We've got both WKU and MTSU making return visits to Huntington in 2016. That's why I think we'll be considered the favorite.

I'll respond when the conference schedule comes out. WKU or Marshall might end up on a 4 game away streak and struggle in the 4th game.

It's everybody's last chance for a conference title before the UAB reign of terror takes over for the next decade.

Two predictions:

1) Charlotte goes .500 in conference play.
2) Fatalisk continues to try to bait "UNC-C" fans.

CUSA should be good next year.

I don't really see a Access Bowl contender though. And that's what we all should be striving and hoping for from our conf every single year.

I disagree. I think if Monken comes back, with a senior QB in Mullens and an explosive O, Southern Miss has the makings of that team. The DNA is there.

Cato and crew in 14 with the explosive O
Doughty and the fighting Big Reds in 15 on O

And I see that same sort of explosiveness coming for you in 16. I think you also host us to boot, so rematch revenge home game next year.

Hell, I live in Lexington, I might show up that game to give the Big Blue crowd fits!

Anything above 7 wins for WKU and I'm thrilled! We should be solid but nothing like this year

I still think WKU will be very good. I mean anytime you can have an entire o-line return, that's great!

That alone with a lot of skill positions returning should keep you at the top of the league.
