"Dead Weight: South Alabama, Georgia State, Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, Texas State

You could make a case for South Alabama moving up a tier to a potential bowl team, but at least 40 percent of this league is just cannon fodder. It would almost require a miracle for Coastal Carolina, Georgia State, Georgia Southern and Texas State to combine for more than two wins against the other six teams in the Sun Belt."

Them's fighting words Mr. Miller!

Except that part isn’t out of the question.

Really you think Florida Atlantic has a shot at the CFP?

College Football Playoff, not Access Bowl. If UCF didn't get in last year. FAU won't this year no matter how many games Kiffin wins.

The only teams that he has a point is Texas State and perhaps Coastal. The others are capable of winning two to three games in conference and having a good year. Without a doubt, USA and GaState have good coaching now and it will prove itself. Who knows if the GS coaching is perfected but GS is still GS and has enough talent to win some games. Coastal may be a year or two away but it will come.

Having said what he did, has anyone seen his comments on the MAC where more than half of that bunch is cannon fodder?

Well assuming they run the table then they'd have a win against Oklahoma and UCF but I agree it wouldn't be enough. They'd let in any number of 2 loss SEC teams.

Yeah that’s what I meant. I read what he wrote and jumbled it in my brain.

Not a first time for me.

FAU could be a CFP contender theoretically, but they need to go undefeated and would need Oklahoma to win the Big 12.

That said, Oklahoma is going to boat race them and they probably won't beat UCF, either. They're not 2016 Houston.

Welp.... Outside of TXST nobody is a raging dumpster fire with the new hires. This guy probably did not put a lot of effort into anyone but the P5 anyway.

I think the only ones that don't deserve to be on that list are USA and Georgia State.

A G5 can crack the CFP.

Two things have to collide.

One. You have to have a G5 having a great run. BYU did it in 1984 going 13-0 BUT they had gone 11-1 the year before winning their final 11. They opened 1984 by beating #3 Pitt (see Houston beating OU then slipping on a banana peel).
Two. Every P5 contender has to be flawed. In 1984 the ACC champ had 3 losses. The Big 8 co-champs had 2 losses and a loss and a tie, Big 10 champ had 2 losses, Pac-10 champ had 3 losses, SEC champ was on probation (and had one loss and a tie) and the runner-up who went to the Sugar had two losses and a tie, SWC champ had two losses, the highest rated major independents, one had one loss (to Navy) and the other had two losses.

So it can be done but it is at least a two year process. You have to be a beast the year before you do it and you need some chaos in the P5 races.

Did GSU's 2018 season get erased?

He doesn't think too highly of any of us since he put the Sun Belt at #10.

soooo pretty much all the move ups/start ups sans app?

hate to be the one to explain this to mr miller but I'm pretty sure you need more than 7 teams for a conference

honestly none of them do

no one is 'dead weight' in the conference because they all serve a purpose.

ole miss and/or MSU are literal dead weight in the traditional sense in the SEC

Apparently! There's only two teams on that list that haven't really accomplished something in FBS so far and that's only because they are still NEW to FBS and need a little time.

Guy says we'll be good: HE'S A GENIUS

Guy says we suck: HE'S A DOOFUS WHO DOESN'T RESEARCH OUTSIDE THE P5.
