Feel free to debate my opinions. I always welcome good sound logic. Today I start with the team I believe will be the worst in C-USA this season... ODU.

Last season, I predicted ODU to finish 6-6, but they actually finished 4-8, with impressive wins over Virginia Tech and North Texas. I still don't understand how ODU lost to Liberty, ECU, or Rice.

2019- In my opinion, Bobby Wilder should have been let go after last season. Overall, I think his 2018 team under preformed, and now he will be faced with the challenge of leading a much less experienced team. I think Wilder has the toughest job in C-USA this season. He will have to coach what is left of a 4 win team with the fewest number returning starter (8) in C-USA. Two P5 road trips early in the season will probably place them behind the eight ball. Plus, aside from ODU and MT, I see every team in C-USA East getting better this year. I don't have a lot of confidence in ODU posting a winning record, and have them ranked last in C-USA East, and C-USA overall.

Enjoy debating, and I'll post my pick for #13 on Sunday.

Just curious - what was your prediction of NT vs ODU last year? I enjoyed hearing your faithful who made the trip to Norfolk engage in your chant of “North......Texas” to our stadium (one would say it and the other would respond). Over and over again I can still hear the chant. And then we got to mock it as we walked backed after the game. So what was your prediction of that game?

Like the vast majority of the fans on this board, I predicted North Texas to win. You could go back and find the original thread. It is still there. Our loss at ODU was the low point of last season. Sadly, UNT will have to wait quite a while to get some payback.
