Predict the final 2010 SBC Standings

[zephyr]

_ I'd still like to hear what you all think about FAU, ULM, and WKU for this season. I'm having so much trouble predecting the asnwer to my own question. _

I believe you pose a good question. I think that FAU may be slightly underrated this season. They lost a ton of offensive skill players and one of the best QB's to play in the SBC ever but they return enough guys there to be very solid. They have an all conference RB and WR who while he didn't have a great statistical year, Lester Jean destroyed us here at Cajun Field and Van Camp is solid at QB. They still look to be a bit shaky on defense and currently have one of the more overrated players on that unit in CB Tavious Polo. He and Gator were both mentioned before Bentley or Auriene for all conference honors this year and I think both will be better.

ULM may be underrated a bit as well. I'm not sure how good their defense will be and they lost just about all of their WR's who had an impact last year but they have an interesting QB situation and good running back.

WKU will likely struggle one more year but they got one of the better recruits in the SBC this year in their QB recruit Brandon Doughty. He is likely going to beat out Jakes for the start so he will likely struggle for a while but is talented. They played a lot of teams close last year, including us, and I think they may be able to translate a couple of those into wins this year. They do have a coaching change and that is always curious but I think they will be fairly tough.

1. Troy
2. Cajuns
3. North Texas/MTSU tie
4. FAU
5. ASU
6. FIU
7. WKU

I felt that MTSU would take a step back even before the Dasher issues. I think they will be a solid team but I'm unsure that they can play at the level of last year. They lost some good players and don't seem to have replaced them with the same level of player or better. Plus, they were on one of those runs where they were just playing so well as a group. That is hard to duplicate.

Troy is still the most talented team in the league and has the best WR's by far, even with Josh Jarboe being dismissed.

Cajuns are set up to be the sleeper. Nobody is talking about us even though we return the most starters and our entire offense is intact and will be back next year also. Our defense has the most depth and talent on the DL that we may have had in a long time and we may have the best group of LB's and CB's in the league. If the running backs can make plays and the DL can sack the QB, we can easily win this thing.

and ULM no longer exist lol

we could only hope!

If he would have gone through and picked each game as instructed he would have a record for each team and to be sure have 36 wins and 36 losses.

I think he should have to go back and redo it game by game like we did.

Hell, you couldn't even come up with an accurate amount of outcomes!

no one said this was easy!

The last few people took the easy road and just listed the teams instead of actually taking the time to pick each of the 36 games and come out with a final outcome. You'll be shocked by what you come up with of you do it game by game. Sports are so hard to predict...

I think this spicies it up a notch in making up pick 36 games to come up with a final standings.

I can promise you, the process will not test my brainpan and therefore, I'm not worried about it. However, the time it takes to do this often makes it difficult to stay the course.

And actually, if you look, I was replying to your question about what we thought about those teams specifically. I had no intention of listing outcomes specifically but rather, actually answering your question.

[CajunDreDog]

OK, now it should be easier you all get the first answer of test given to you.

Fill out the winners from each game in post 1 of this thread, and you'll come up with the final sunbelt standings for the year. Please show the team name, and the SBC record. It should all add up to 36 wins and 36 loses.

Post them here, and will see who is closer.

GOOD LUCK!!!
