#13 ODU 123.25

First, I would like to openly admit my personal bias against ODU. ODU has quickly become among my least favorite programs in C-USA. I almost dislike them as much as UTSA, and most on here know the general dislike between North Texas and UTSA. Although I dislike ODU I removed the possibility of my biases from effecting these predictions. Having stated that, I simply input the data into my new formula and let the chips fall where they may.

Here are my interpretations as to why ODU landed at the 13 spot.... Lack of recruiting success over the last few seasons (In C-USA East, ODU has ranked last or second to last in recruiting each of the last four seasons- 247sports), coaching staff transition (This is Rahne's first season and his staff will need time to implement his system and bring in the players to run it), the overall high quality of the other programs in C-USA East. In my formula, ODU scored a rating of 123.25 which is more than 5 points behind the next C-USA East team in on the list.
