List please

6

8.

My losses are
FAU
UTEP
ODU
FIU
WKU

I think 7 would be a minor miracle and see no path to 8, so I'll go with 6 or less.

I'm thinking 5 wins. Maybe 6 if mt or rice win on the road. Could even be 4 wins if Charlotte or unt don't show up.

MTSU needs to win.

Yes. As does Rice.

Wins I would bet money on: Marshall, USM, UNT, LaTech.

Maybes: MT, UTSA, Charlotte

Until UNT shows it.. Not sure how they can be considered a lock.
Put me down in the less than 6. Only Marshall, LTech and USM are locks. Everyone else I think faces a battle
UTEP and WKU no chance in hell..

It all hinges on UTSA, MT and Rice.

Week 2 all 13 CUSA teams play

L FIU host Maryland
L Rice at Army *Could be a coin flip (Home team advantage)
L WKU at Alabama
L ODU at Appalachian St
W MT at Vanderbilt *Could be a coin flip MT overcomes home team advantage
L UTSA at Colorado St *Could be a coin flip (Home team advantage)
W Charlotte host Elon
W Marshall host Morgan St
L FAU at Miami
L UTEP at Texas
W USM host Savannah St
W UNT host Bethune Cookman
W La Tech host South Carolina St

Total: Only 6 Wins

Hope I'm wrong and CUSA has 7 wins or more.....

Charlotte, Marshall, USM, UNT, and LA Tech will win, and it's a coin flip for MTSU vs Vandy. If Rice can also beat Army we might get seven, but I just don't see the Owls winning at West Point. So -- six or less, and likely five.

Tough week for us. We'll need some upsets to raise eyebrows. Hard to see 7 wins, but if UNT can beat B-C (NOT an assumed win, however) then 6 is possible. I've counted the following winners:

Middle Tennessee
Charlotte, but they can lose this one
Marshall
Southern Mississippi
North Texas
La Tech

CSU just got SMOKED by Colorado. Like non-competitive. No way did CU turn into a decent P5 school (this is coming from a fan) and a bowl game this year would be a surprising. CU is the Vandy/Kentucky of the PAC 12. They shouldn't be blowing the doors off any reasonably competent team.

UTSA can absolutely go to Fort Fun and win.

I'll take 7 wins this week for CUSA. Only 2-3 no chancers and still a bunch of FCS games that should pad the total. Hopefully there's a surprise upset if UNT or Charlotte embarrass.

Charlotte should be fine. Elon was blown out by an average Gardner Webb team and lost their starting QB. They gave up 300 yards rushing and the one place we are strong is at RB.

B-C is a tough team for UNT, ask FIU.

Give it a rest.

FIU host Maryland - L (Although I think it might be tight)
Rice at Army - W I'm giving Rice the win.. if they can contain the ground game.
WKU at Alabama - L - As much as I'll be a hilltopper fan for sure.. I just don't see it happening
ODU at Appalachian St W = I'm going on a limb here and thinking Appy State had their spirits broken with how they lost the Tennessee Game.
MT at Vanderbilt W - hopefully an easy win for the Tennesse title..
UTSA at Colorado St W - Key game I think for UTSA to adjust to the thinner air.. but this is the key for the big sweep.
Charlotte host Elon W - Or at least it BETTER be a win
Marshall host Morgan St W - Cupcake to start things off
FAU at Miami L - Sorry FAU.. but unless something drastic happens, I think Miami runs the rock all over you guys.
UTEP at Texas L - UTEP in a shootout? Not likely..
USM host Savannah St W - Better not have a hangover eagles..
UNT host Bethune Cookman W - DO NOT want a repeat of Portland State last year... Got it Greenies?!?!!?
La Tech host South Carolina St W - After giving Arkansas all they can handle .. this should be an easy take.

So right now I've only got 4 losses on the plate
FAU, UTEP, WKU, FIU

Tossup games - ODU, MTSU
