The good news about having crappy bowl opponents is we will continue our conference's high bowl winning percentage over that last few years.

Its time to negotiate better bowl tie-ins.

If you don't think the UAB team isn't salivating at the chance to get 10 wins and knock off a ranked conference champion you're nuts. They're going to give it 100% and will have more fans there too, based on the whining going on in the App fan base.

Winning by anything more than a touchdown will take the focus of the App team.

App win
GS win
CAJUNS win
Ark St win, maybe

GSU. I just don't know anything about Wyoming to call it, but will pull for the Panthers to win. Conference standings matter.

I agree with you 100%! The only thing I was concerned about this year was the lack of interest in our opponents knowing that will be highly favored against all of them! Hoping that our teams and fan bases don’t overlook any of these opponents!

Stay focused then you must.

Sun Belt goes 2-3

Georgia southern is going to crush Liberty. They has the weakest 5 FBS wins period. Two against NMSU and one against UMass. Yawn.

Liberty's rush defense is ranked 100th out of 130 teams. They're definitely capable of scoring some points, but I think we will also run all over them.

Kinda hard seeing Liberty scoring points when their offense is sitting on the bench for most of the game, GS is going to run for big yds

4-1. Wyoming beats GSU.

I wouldn’t predict a lot of blowouts. It could happen, but we shouldn’t underestimate any opponent.

This. I don't expect Wyoming to be a pushover at all. Bohl knows how to coach.

For GSU to beat Wyoming Elliott needs to make the tough decision, a decision he should have made 3 games ago and close down his hurt qb (can’t remember his name), he has been ineffective since his injury, and I think Elliott’s loyalty to him hurt their chances to win ballgames, I get it, and it’s admirable, but ultimately you have to do what’s best for the team, and I think Elliott needs to start someone else.

It’s not like they have another option unfortunately. I believe they had the option to let Ellington play or start a walk on when they played us. Either way, not an ideal situation. I don’t think they would have faired better in any of their games had they started the walk on instead.

App versus UAB: App will be fine without Drink coaching, honestly maybe even better off. I wouldn't count on a complete beatdown with Bill Clark coaching but App's players will rally around #Clark2020 and win by multiple scores.

UL versus Miami: Cajuns run game will bulldoze this team IMO. The MAC is really down this year.

GS versus Liberty: If we can stop them we'll win easily. The problem is going to be schematic with us going up against Hugh Freeze's offense and not personnel.

Ark State versus FIU: Red Wolves are the better team, but Blake Anderson has lost two bowl games in a row he should have won. Coin Flip.

Georgia State versus Wyoming: Tough matchup a long way from home. I don't think State can win this one, but wouldn't be all that surprised if they did. IMO you let Ellington go out there and play one more time for his career and see where it falls. No point in burning a QB red shirt for this game.

Normally, any team that can pass well scares me to death. Their passing attack is about on par with Troy and Arkansas State, however you have to wonder how much those numbers are padded based on the schedule they played. Two FCS teams, NMSU twice, and UMass. Even with that schedule, they've still let up 4.7 YPC. I see Southern giving up a couple of deep shots early, but controlling the clock the majority of the game with long sustained drives.

I think App vs UAB should be the best game of the group. App players can show it was more than Drink that got them good.

UL vs Miami - Think Canjuns will light Ohio up in Sadd Peoples.

GS better beat Liberty convincing. Not sure how Liberty should be in a bowl with 2 wins over NMSU, UMass, and 2 wins over FCS schools.

Wyoming too much for GaSt, 4-1.
