A look at weeks 1-4, we'll be level with the entire league
In weeks 1-4, there are only 3 conference games, and plenty of P5 drubbings scheduled.
At the end of Week 4 I foresee:
East
FIU 3-1, 1-1 (wins over @Tulane, WKU, New Hampshire; loss @LaTech)
Marshall 2-1, 0-0 (W VMI, Ohio; loss at Boise State)
FAU 2-2, 0-0 (W @Ball State, Wagner; L @Ohio State, UCF)
ODU 1-2, 0-0 (W Norfolk St; L @VPI, @UVA)
Charlotte 2-2, 0-0 (W Garner Webb, UMass; L @App State, @Clemson)
WKU 1-2, 0-1 (W Central Arkansas; L @FIU, @Louisville)
MTSU 1-2, 0-0 (W Tenn State; L @Michigan, Duke)
West
LaTech 3-1, 1-0 (W Grambling, @Bowling Green, FIU; L @Texas)
North Texas 2-2, 1-0 (W Abilene Christian, UTSA; L @SMU, @CAL)
UAB 2-1, 0-0 (W Alabama State, South Alabama; L @Akron)
UTSA 1-3, 0-1 (W Incarnate Word; L @Baylor, Army, @UNT)
So Miss 1-3, 0-0 (W Alcorn State; L @MissState, @Troy, @Alabama)
UTEP 1-2, 0-0 (W Houston baptist; L @TexasTech, Nevada)
Rice 0-4, 0-0 (L @Army, Wake Forest, Texas, Baylor)
Analysis: If ODU can take their lumps and find a QB, by week 5 East Carolina, we will be very level with the conference, I still see a 25% chance of 7 wins by sweeping the home schedule. Eastern division teams except for FIU will really be stretched by the P5 games.
