I think ULM might show some improvement this year but I admit they have a long way to go.

Well, someone has to be 123....

On the bright side, you're above some big names like Tulane, Army, UMAss...

I think they go 3-9

Anyone dare to take a guess as to what number their team will be in the countdown this year before we get in too deep? Based on last years ranking and then last years performance....

68

For reference - 2015 Orlando Sentinel Rankings:

#31 - Georgia Southern
#49 - Louisiana
#52 - App State
#72 - Arkansas State
#87 - ULM
#93 - Texas State
#98 - South Alabama
#100 - NMSU
#104 - Troy
#121 - Georgia State
#127 - Idaho

2015 - ESPN FPI (final results)

#67 - App State
#81 - Georgia Southern
#88 - Arkansas State
#96 - Troy
#98 - Louisiana
#103 - Georgia State
#118 - Idaho
#120 - South Alabama
#121 - New Mexico State
#126 - TxSt
#127 - ULM

I'm not sure what ULM's record will be, but I expect them to be improved, simply due to the fact they hired a much better Coach and staff.

I think Viator is the right guy for the job and I think he can pull out another "2012-esque" season in the foreseeable future; with that said, this is a pretty brutal schedule for a first year coach to make any noise (From the first game until the home game against South Al on November 5, their's only two home games prior!) With exception of Southern, I don't see a another sure fire win-if they can get 3 or more wins this season, that's a very positive step for Viator's first season.

In terms of where I think AstAte will be on the Sentinels Countdown, with the exception of their 2013 listing, Red Wolves have typically been underestimated going into their rankings. With that said, they were at #72 (picked 4th in the sunbelt essentially) last year, I'll go at #73-74

I'll guess 45.

My guess would be #52 for GS

My guess...somewhere afterGa So (and App)..even after we beat them.

I guarantee you we will not beat App State in football next year.

He's got a point

Also realized that the Idaho game was mislabeled on their website (the game against the Vandals is actually a home contest for ULM)

I should have said 'just like App'.

Low 30s

Hawaii at number 121...still no Eastern Michigan which is shocking or they just forgot about them.

75 for us

Then we sweep the league again.
