RE: Sun Belt Coaches Poll
One thing no one ever considers much this early is the effect of injuries and coaching. Some to the new coaches could turn out to be really good or really bad. And I've seen injuries take a championship talented team to 6-6 real danged quick.

RE: Sun Belt Coaches Poll
stAte has the most complete team on paper and they deserve to be on top for pre-season ranking. there biggest problem is there OCC history. without them winning those games, it takes away a lot of there luster. and makes me think they can be beaten in conference also.
next is Troy and App state, both have the coaching and teams to win every game, but both have question marks that makes me hesitant to put them at the top.
next is this years G5 of the Sun Belt. To me these 5 teams all start the season as equals, each has lots of questions and lots of potential. Louisiana, Georgia Southern, South Alabama, Georgia State, and ULM.
lastly is Texas State and Coastal Carolina. they may shock some people this year, but should not get any pre-season love until they prove something first.

RE: Sun Belt Coaches Poll
Our general history indicates one of the following things will happen:
1. We go 1-3 in OOC play. Fans start putting For Sale signs in Anderson's front yard. We then win all 8 of our league games, including a 3 TD Win over App, and everyone becomes convinced we're amazing and just started slow
2. We go 1-3 in OOC Play. Fans start putting For Sale signs in Anderson's front yard. We rebound slightly in league, but lose to App and at least one other league team in a game that makes us bang our heads into a wall, to finish 7-5. We make another bowl...but there becomes serious concern within the fan base that we are spiraling toward mediocrity.
Perhaps we sneak out wins over weaker than usual OOC Competition (The Non Bama editions) and prove ourselves...but I'll believe it when I see it.
