ODUMr. Blazr, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. *shrug* I just replied to get another Blazer voice on the thread. To clarify, I did say "unprecedented" things. FAU will be improved this year. I don't think they'll win 10 games or that they ever will under Kiffen. Technically, UAB just kicking off week 1 is unprecedented, but winning 4 games would surprise the hell out of pretty much everyone. I think it will be in that neighborhood.

If there aren't any surprises the top 6 shouldn't lose a single game to the bottom 8. Yet in every conference someone almost always does. Even Alabama has dropped games they shouldn't to teams that don't finish strong. It's a cycle. Once you've been around long enough you get used to the ebb and flow. More recently it's been USM, Rice, and Marshall in CUSA. At or near the top several years and then starting again from the bottom. Some teams never seem to break through, but the ones that do should enjoy it while it lasts because it will always crash when you don't expect it to or at least don't expect it as sharply as it comes. I don't think the elite team exists anymore in the G5. The competition and talent gap is too narrow whereby any team has a pretty fair shot at winning against any other. See UCONN over Houston a few years ago. It's just not sustainable as even a lower team will peak with a senior crew and make waves for a season, then drop as they rebuild. RE: CUSAbbs Preseason Football Poll - techdawg28 - 07-19-2017 10:35 PM FWIW in 2015 5 C-USA teams went to bowl games. They only lost to each other. So the elite/not elite thing happened.

Every year there will be one or two G5 programs that have excellent years, but they soon fade back into normalcy with everyone else. In fact, too much success at the G5 level almost always leads to losing your head coach to an NFL team or a P5 school. It's hard to sustain success at the G5 level.

Here's the latest: Assuming the numbers in parentheses are first place votes, it would only seem fair to put UTSA in 4th and ODU 5th as a tiebreaker, especially considering 12 ODU supporters have voted and only 3 UTSA supporters. Just sayin'. Do as you wish though since you made the thread. Kudos on keeping up with it btw. RE: CUSAbbs Preseason Football Poll - Monarchist13 - 07-20-2017 06:51 AM 1. WKU 2. LT 3. MTSU 4. ODU 5.

I am really surprised after 60+ votes there is a tie, but sure. Right now excel has ODU in front of UTSA because of the alphabet. Hey, if you put in a poll, it will break the tie too....

Mathematically, if I were to actually change ODU and UTSA positions that would actually break the tie, because it would lower UTSA's point total by one and increase ODU's by one.

That would put the league with 7 solid teams. I also look fro FAU and UNT to continue to improve and be solid opponents. FIU always has potential with recruiting ground they have.
