While App Fights for a New Years' Six Berth.....
The rest of the league fights for a division title (West) or Bowl Eligibility.
These are just my thoughts based on what I've seen.
APP (6-0, 3-0)
Wins: Four definite, six possible
Losses: None certain
Swing Games: at South Carolina, at Georgia State
The "neers have it all in front of them. The game in Atlanta is the only possible loss in the league and frankly, I don't think it's gonna happen.
GEORGIA STATE (5-2, 2-1)
Wins: One definite, Four possible
Losses: None definite
Swing Games: Troy, App, at ULM, at Georgia Southern
Well, all they need is one. I'm going to project Seven or eight wins
GEORGIA SOUTHERN (3-3, 1-1)
Wins: One definite, three possible
Losses: App State
Swing Games: at Troy, ULM, @Arkansas State, Georgia State
I've seen nothing out of the Georgia Southern offense that would suggest they're going to get to six wins. They'll be underdogs in at least three of the swing games. I'm going with five wins, tops.
TROY 3-3, 1-1
Wins: Two definite, Five possible
Losses: App
Swing: at Georgia State, Georgia Southern, at UL
I think Troy will be at least 6-6
COASTAL CAROLINA 3-4, 0-3
Wins: None Certain, two possible
Losses: Three likely
Swing: at ULM, Louisiana
They get the Cajuns on a short week. But I don't see a way they get to six wins.
LOUISIANA 5-2, 2-1
Wins: Two definite, five possible
Losses: None definite
Swing: at Coastal, Troy, ULM
The Cajuns will probably be favored in the rest of their games. But that game at Coastal comes on a short week, Troy gives the Cajuns fits and ULM is ULM. Its hard to see them winning fewer than nine, but you never know.
ULM 3-4, 2-1
Wins: One definite, five possible
Losses: None
Swing: Arkansas State, Georgia State, at Georgia Southern, at Louisiana
The Warhawks offense is going to keep them in the rest of their games. Their defense puts them in peril the rest of the way. They'll have to pull an upset to get to six. I'm saying 5-7.
ARKANSAS STATE 3-4, 1-2
Wins: Three probable
Losses: None
Swing: Georgia Southern, at ULM
Despite their plethora of injuries, the Red Wolves are going bowling, I think. They'll be favored in at least four of their remaining games. Perhaps a 13th game will take the sting out of a tragic season.
TEXAS STATE (2-4, 1-1)
WINS: One definite, three possible
Losses: At Arkansas State,at Louisiana, at App State
Swing: Troy, at Coastal
I don't see six wins here. Those three road games are going to be really tough, even with a solid defense
SOUTH ALABAMA 1-6, 0-3
Wins: None
Losses: All of them
Sorry, South.
I'm going with App, Ga. St, Louisiana, Troy and Arkansas State as bowl eligible teams.
