How much do you and VT return from last year? I assume VT will be out for revenge. I'd like to think ODU still has a puncher's chance in this game though, again.

RE: CUSA FB's win % probability vs. OOC this year
Just my opinion...
UNT
vs. Abilene Christian- 99% (Until you play the game, there is always a chance)
@ SMU- 75% (The Mean Green offense is loaded, and a game at SMU isn't really a road game for us)
@ CAL- 35% (Cal brings back most of last season's great defense last, and their offense can't get worse)
vs. Houston- 55% (Lil Briles is gone, and we all know how much he means to an offense, plus Houston's defense has serious issues. Should be a very loud sold out game at Apogee)

RE: CUSA FB's win % probability vs. OOC this year
Here are the OOC games CUSA has that is most definitely winnable. These are the games we must win if we're to be taken seriously by the CFB world:
USM @ Mississippi State...MS State is breaking in a new QB so it's possible we could win this game. Defense is going to have to play flawless and offense can't turn the ball over.
Duke @ Middle Tennessee...Duke will also be starting a new QB and the game will be played in Murfreesboro. Definitely winnable IMO.
Marshall @ Boise State...Boise lost a lot of production from last year. They'll be replacing their 4 year starter at QB, a 1400+ yard rusher, and their 2 top receivers from last year. Marshall can absolutely win this game.
UCF @ FAU....UCF lost a lot of production on the defensive side of the ball, offensive line, and they'll still be without star QB who's still rehabbing. Definitely a winnable game for FAU.
Louisville vs. WKU...yes, WKU has a new coach but that's a good thing right? Also, Louisville is still a hot mess and this game is at a neutral site. Definitely winnable.
UAB @ Tennessee...spoiler alert for Tennessee. Bill Clark knows that if he leads UAB to another double digit win season AND can get an SEC scalp included in that...then come December, there will be a 3+ million dollar HC offer from a P5 school like Tennessee/Va Tech/Maryland/Arizona or Arkansas. Plenty of motivation for UAB to beat Tennessee this year. Also, this Tennessee isn't your daddy's Tennessee. Definitley winnable. And the game is sandwiched between South Carolina and Kentucky in November so there's that.
North Texas @ Cal...just like Bill Clark's UAB @ Tennessee, Seth Littrell knows that another 9+ win season for UNT will more than likely put him in the running for a P5 gig that's offering 3+ million. Also, Cal is suspect. They lose a lot of receivers this year and their top running back. Definitely winnable for UNT.
What do ya'll think?

Probably just my gold tinted glasses but I do think it's a winnable game for us. Of course I'm not going to be shocked if we lose but we really shouldn't be shocked if we win considering who all we have returning this year in addition to who Mississippi State has lost. Of course, for us to win this game we'll have to play error free on both sides and defense will have to step up big time.

lolwut?
UCF really only lost Hill on defense and while he's clearly an NFL talent, he took games off and only showed up 50% of the time. Every one else that left is getting replaced by a much more talented but younger player. The entire secondary is back.
We lost 2 guys on OLine but the 3 returners are all 1st Team All AAC and 2 of them will be First or Second round draft picks. We get a starter back this year who missed last year with an injury, and we've got a ton of young guys to fill the last spot including 4-star Adrian Medley.
Milton will be hard to replace, absolutely. But we've got Wimbush and Mack competing to start, they're both huge talents, and UCF will be a run-heavy offense anyways. Both are dominant running QBs. Combine that with the arsenal of weapons on offense and the above mentioned OLine and ………..good luck stopping that run game.

RE: CUSA FB's win % probability vs. OOC this year
North Texas
Abilene Christian 99%- Should be 100, but it's football and anything can happen
@SMU 75%- We curb stomped them at home last year but this round is in Highland Park where UNT has trouble. I still think this is a win but probably not by the same margin as last year.
@Cal 50%- I have very little respect for Cal and the PAC in general. On a neutral field I think UNT wins more often than not. But since it's a long road trip, this is a coin flip.
Houston 51%- Two rediculous offenses. Two suspect defenses. Home field advantage may be huge for this. I expect a sell out at Apogee.

RE: CUSA FB's win % probability vs. OOC this year
UNT
vs. Abilene-Christian 90% Anything can happen
@ SMU 55% Even if we seem better on paper we have yet to win at SMU in our yearly series
@ CAL 25% We won't catch them off guard and the likelihood of us winning a road P5 game two years in a row is low.
vs. Houston 40% Houston has an incredibly talented QB who ran for 60 yards a game last year and we are replacing both inside LB's, hopefully he doesn't go for 100+ on the ground
