How can they not see UAB running to 7-0? or do they?

UAB graduated how many fifth year seniors? quite possibly the oldest team ever assembled to play college due to the NCAA relaxing the rules for UAB.

How no one sees them taking a huge step back is beyond me, pretty much the whole starting defense were seniors 24, 25 years old. All gone. Good Orlando Sentinel

Don't sleep on UAB. For 2019 UAB has 17 seniors and a whopping 36 juniors (and 29 of those are RS-JRs) on their roster, so 53 upperclassmen.

Isnt a third of the AAC in the bottom 20 of his countdown?

Percentage of bottom fourth +1 of FBS


SB 60%
MAC 58%
Cusa 57%
MW 50%


AAC 33%

Well this should help clear things up a little for the time being. With Tulane in at 93, the AAC backs up considerably. While managing to hold on to first place, it's clear they are G5 to the core with the current last place P5 conference being the B1G at 54.71.

That means the AAC is closer to being in last place in the G5 than they are to being last place in the P5. Here's your update.

AAC 72.88
MWC 75.84
C-USA 84.72
MAC 85.12
SBC 88.10

IND 72.67

Can’t wait to expose this extremely poor take in about 5 months. How anyone doubts Bill Clark is beyond me.

Proof The Sentinel countdown is TOTAL BS.... TuLAME ranked ahead of UAB. UAB would blowout TuLAME.

Uab beat them 31-24 last season.

Quite probable in reality. Preseason rankings are perception based...which most often lags reality.. UAB is still my pick to win CUSA.

Well no offense but since they won last year methinks *your* perception might also lag reality.

Which proves your first point nicely, I suppose.

Not a good day for the good guys as LA Tech is in at 92, and C-USA slips dangerously close to replacing the Sun Belt in the G5 cellar. Here's your update.

Oh yeeeah. I forgot about those guys...I bet the sentinel forgot about them too when they were making this until they were in the 80s and were like “oh crap”

Also, there's zero chance that the MAC as a conference is better than SBC or CUSA.

Next up for C-USA, FAU.

Holtz is a good coach. Something tells me the DLine won't be a problem. JMar is the offense until further notice.

If the DLine falters, you might struggle to break even.

Then your top 4 of, not in order, Marshall, FIU, UNT, and USM. FIU and UNT have proven QBs. Marshall and USM have a few more question marks.

IDK how CUSA isn't in last in these ratings. Maybe the math needs tweaking. We have 9 teams in the bottom 93-130. Next worst has 7. SBC with 6 is last somehow, though we "beat" them to having the lowest of the low in every position (lowest rated 1st team, lowest rated 2nd team, lowest rated 3rd team, etc.)

We have 14 teams in the conference. That means we have five left to be rated. The Sun Belt only has ten teams in the conference, with only four left to be rated. It's the teams yet to be rated that are holding C-USA over the Sun Belt by the thinnest of margins.

I still say The Sentinel bozo's won't put any CUSA team above #76.

Even with our BS QB no way will we be that low.

Give me SMU, c’mon ponies
