Schedules shouldn't change; you're not getting out of contracts just to reschedule other games.

Georgia Southern @ Arkansas
Ark State @ Washington
Troy @ South Carolina
App State @ Miami
Georgia State @ UNC
Georgia State @ Auburn
Louisiana @ Texas
Kansas @ Coastal Carolina
South Alabama @ Tennessee
ULM @ Kentucky
ULM @ LSU
Baylor @ Texas State
I think we (as a conference) will win more than one of those. I guess I'd put the lowest confidence in our game at Auburn and ULM's pair of SEC matchups.
Coastal and GA Southern are probably our best options. App State maybe?

With the return we have deep depth at WR, RB and defense, think we have a pretty good shot at a sweep. Miami will definitely be the biggest challenge, but they play Bama the week before so let’s hope Bama does some damage
We played this game last off-season. "App will likely be undefeated", "We should be able to sleepwalk through the OOC schedule and Sun Belt schedule now".
Until I see Red Zone Efficiency return to what is what under Satterfield and Drinkwitz, I'll be nervous about every game. This off-season will depend greatly on a return to normalcy, especially with a transfer QB presumably taking the job and a new offensive coordinator. Mike Houston is in year 3 and that is usually when you see whether a coach is really turning a program around.

Louisiana may beat Texas. A lot of people are going to be surprised when the line comes out at less than 10 points for that game.

RE: Possible Upsets 2021
Miami is tough enough, probably a top 10 program, I lived in SF for 18 yrs and attended a few early season games at Miami, expect 95 plus degrees and humidity which it makes it feel like 110, big advantage for a Miami team accustom to the heat, an APP team....not so much, would expect by mid third APP to be finished. Hope I’m wrong, but not a lot of faith in pulling this one out.
