What week will ODU enter the "Bottom 10"? Or will they?
Optimists? Pessimists? What week will ODU officially enter the Bottom 10? Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or not at all?

We will start clicking against ECU. It's important that we don't get too banged up playing UVa and VaTech.

All depends on the ECU week. We could be 1-3, or 2-2 after that game. We were not in the bottom 10 at the end of the season, or the waiting list so there are worse teams on deck at the start of the season.

I agree.
I agree as well. I think if we lose to ECU we probably enter it, and if we lose to both ECU and WKU we definitely do. If we beat ECU we should be in the clear. All of this of course assumes we beat NSU.

I am just praying that we have a good enough season to keep the current staff. I am excited about our position coaches and our d coordinator. Come on Bobby! Make some magic happen!

We are down to #13 in CBS' bottom 25. ESPN Bottom 10 isn't out yet. Im thinking with a loss to Marshall we get in the Bottom 10 in both embarrassing polls.
Can you 'execute' or 'process of winning' your way out of the bottom 10? Inquiring minds want to know

Only if you successfully execute the process of winning.

I think this is the week that we bust through. Will be interesting to see, moving from honorable mention to the bottom of the heap ...... but hey, we have a new stadium, right?
I would rather get splinters in my A$$ while watching a great product on the field than sit in luxurious comfort only to watch a Sh*tshow unfold before my eyes.

If this was not so pathetic, it would be laughable. An unfortunate exclaimation point on our football program. Just because you "Aim High" doesn't mean you hit anything.

Getting closer, according to CBS we're the 11th worst team in the country. If we lose to UAB, I think we'll make the bottom 10. Breaking new ground! Aim High.
If this CBS poll doesn't say anything about the non strength of CUSA, nothing does! SIX, yes I said SIX (6) of the bottom 25 are CUSA schools. Hell, we're a group of bottom feeders if you want to tell it like it is. Maybe we should form a new FCS league and call it a day!!!! I love playing VT/UVA/UNC, etc, but you have to be competitive. Can someone in power get his/her head out of their a** and realize CUSA was a huge mistake and take steps to fix the problem, even if it means (forgive me!) going back to FCS level playing schools we care about and can travel to.

Quite literally the only FCS school we care about even remotely today is JMU. W&M and Richmond were fine to play in FCS but does anyone really want to dramatically alter the course of the program to be conference-mates with them again? Who the hell else is in CAA that we'd care about? Maybe Delaware? Otherwise it's a lot of eh or yeech, unless you really miss Towson, Maine and Rhode Island and dream of a world where we've got yearly dates with Albany and Elon.
If you think CUSA is the problem (and not just the symptom of other problems, here and in college athletics writ large), then you're better off praying a sinkhole envelops Kornhole Field during the offseason and it's insured for triple its value. Presuming that football is here to stay, better to play it at the best possible level than pissing off back to the CAA.
