If we lose to FAU on the road again...

I think it also has Vince Hunter on the All-CUSA team. Hunter left for the NBA after last year...

Western and Middle Tennessee will be higher. La Tech and FIU will be further down

I agree

I would go

1.UAB
2. ODU (UAB and ODU could be at large without any stupid losses)
3.WKU
4. MTSU
5. La Tech
6. UTEP
7. FIU
8.Rice (would not surprise me if Rice finished a little better)
9. Marshall
10. UTSA
11.USM
12. UNT
13. Charlotte (Tempted to pick them)
14 FAU

I don't think the league will be as strong at the 1-8 spots this year. Like AB said, ODU and UAB could both make the NCAA tournament as an at-large with minimal WTF losses. MT, UTEP and LT have lost a lot of talent from last year's teams. This could be a chance for teams like FIU and Rice to break into the top 6. The bottom 4-6 teams in the league will be sub-200 super-WTF landmines, and could ruin UAB and ODU.

Rice lost a ton of folks numbers-wise...2 grads and 5 transfers, I think...
