2012 Pre-Preseason Rankings - Sun Belt

very interesting tidbit out of the Sun Herald in Gulfport, Ms a list of the top 40 JUCO players and which school they have signed at Troy has a QB, LB, DB, P, LB. 5 total from the list of the top 40. While this means nothing of future success I guess Troy is trying to rebuild by raiding Mississippi Junior Colleges

Rainey WAS their team. Without him or an equal replacement, they are a middle of the pack team.

Correct which is why I'm not projecting them to win it because their defense is good enough to do it. However, I still expect them to be in the hunt.

Yeah, it looks like fully half of their commits are JCs. And I think they have something like 27 commits!

I don't know, we made their QB look like an All Conference player 2 years in a row. Did he also graduate or will he be returning?

Troy has been doing this since they've been in the Sun Belt. Nothing new.

He is returning with their all conference TE, most of their linemen and all of their receivers

[Bankruptcyman]

I thought we had the All-Conference tight end?

I am talking more about this year coming up but Doyle was the 2nd all conference TE I believe this year as well. The point is that he's good and he killed us along with their other TE on the road this year. Without Rainey, I think they will still be a tough opponent

ULM will be outcoached once again. We get A stAte, FIU and Wky at home.. I like our chances.

All the makings of a perfect storm! I'm calling it, here in this thread, Louisiana will win the conference.

My list:
1) Louisiana
2) FIU due to a loss AT Louisiana
3) everyone else, who cares, let 'em fight it out
