I would go with:

1. Marshall and ECU
3. Rice
4. The rest
13. FAU
14. FIU

I would put Rice up at the top as well. Also do not sleep on Tulsa, I suspect they will have a say in the conference race. I think MTSU could also be a player in the East. Until some more games are played and we get a larger body of work for each team I would rate MTSU, Marshall, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa as contenders.

Even though ECU has home field and we don't, this will be a good barometer on which is the better team, especially if ECU loses and Marshall wins (a most unlikely scenario).

Despite the outcome of the VT games I still don't think we will know who's better until we play. I know our team this week will look a lot different from the team we bring to Huntington... unless we just look like a well seasoned end of the year team, or heck we could come to Huntington looking like crap but beat the crap out of VT...who knows.

FAU's Beat writers gives his opinion.
