Team Most Likely To Start 0-2 In 2012

[DFW HOYA]

Savannah State opens at Oklahoma State and then off to Florida State, with only four home games this season.

(If the Tigers are trying to avoid a third consecutive 1-10 season, this isn't going to help things. Of course, it does pay the bills.)

[PantherRob82]

UNI isn't any better. At Wisconsin and Iowa. UNI may be more competitive, but I can't imagine them winning either of these games.

[BEAR]

UCA could possibly start 0-2 with a game at Ole Miss and a game at Murray State..

But to our credit, we'll follow it with Bacone State...

[eiu1999]

EIU doesn't have killer competition (SIU, @Western Michigan) however with a new coach and new system it's not going to be pretty at first. The best chance for a win this season is Game 6 against Austin Peay.

[dbackjon]

NAU opens at Arizona State, at UNLV

Likely 0-2

[HailSzczur]

We will start 0-1 for sure. Fordham will be a toss up? I think? Not entirely sure too much about them though.

[LakesBison]

UNI will be 0-2 and possibly 1-4 and no paint on the wall for 2012

[Eaglesrus]

GA Southern could be 0 - 2 after a home opener against Jacksonville and then a visit to The Citadel. Don't expect it to go that way, but it could.

[darell1976]

In the BSC I see possibly Eastern Washington if they lose to Idaho (Wash St will be a loss). If EWU plays like they did against South Dakota they will definately be 0-2. NAU, Sac State if they can't get past New Mexico State (Colorado will be a loss), Southern Utah (Utah State, and Cal) and Weber State (Fresno State, BYU).

[mmiller_34]

SDSU has a history of 0-fer starts.. so, I'd put my money on it.

[Jacked_Rabbit]

Sad but true... Game 1 @ Kanas will be tough but Game 2 @ SE Louisiana is atleast winnable.

[asu3peat]

Starting with ECU and Montana could spell another 0-2 start a la 2009 when ASU opened with ECU and McNeese St. I know ECU is coming off a down year and the Pirate fans are antsy to see their team bounce back to fight for the tops in C-USA. Montana tends to reload so it'll be interesting to see how the program can manage after losing so much in the offseason.

NDSU beat Kansas so its not like the Jayhawks are unbeatable...You guys played Nebraska tough. I wish you luck!!!

[GeauxLions94]

Sad but true... Game 1 @ Kansas will be tough but Game 2 @ Southeastern Louisiana is at least winnable.

We would be in the same boat, but at least for us we should open with a win at Mizzou xliarx xliarx xliarx

Yeah, that's the ticket!

[apaladin]

Why would powerhouse BCS teams schedule Savannah St? They routinely lose by 30-40-50 plus to FCS teams?

[mocman1990]

Chattanooga starts at South Florida and at Jacksonville State...there is decent possibility of an 0-2 start (though JSU is definitely winnable)

[asumike83]

GA Southern could be 0 - 2 after a home opener against Jacksonville and then a visit to The Citadel. Don't expect it to go that way, but it could.

That is Jacksonville, not Jacksonville State correct? If that's the case, I'd put your odds of losing at about 0%.

Sand bagger :D

[carney2]

Looking only at the Patriot League, DFW, here are my personal odds for each team starting the season by losing their first two:

BUCKNELL = 60%
@ Marist
@ Delaware

COLGATE = 80%
@ Albany
@ South Dakota

FORDHAM = 5%
Lock Haven (H)
@ Villanova

GEORGETOWN = 15%
@ Davidson
Wagner (H)

HOLY CROSS = 75%
New Hampshire (H)
Brown (H)

LAFAYETTE = 80%
@ Willam & Mary
Pennsylvania (H)

LEHIGH = 5%
Monmouth
@ Central Connecticut

[clenz]

You realize they is a game between those two games...correct? An 0-2 start means a d2loss to a team that was 1-10 last season

Huh? No way GSU loses to Jacksonville.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Interesting metaphor. So you did eat paint chips as a kid?

[Screamin_Eagle174]

NAU, Sac State if they can't get past New Mexico State (Colorado will be a loss), Southern Utah (Utah State, and Cal) and Weber State (Fresno State, BYU).

EWU will be 1-1, with a slight chance of 2-0. You must be forgetting we came within 6 inches of beating UW last year.

[LakesBison]

KANSAS will destroy sdsu. not even close with weis as coach.

EWU will be 0-2.

UNI will be 0-2 because most of us dont recognize D2 wins as actual wins.

[asumike83]

Beat me to it, we should have two great games to kick off 2012. 2-0 and 0-2 are both possibilities!

[alvinkayak6]

App's success will come down to Jamal Jackson making plays on offense. The defense already makes App one of the best teams in the Southern Conference. There is no Brian Quick as a playmaker any longer. Players will have to step up to replace his production.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Yes


Knew it.

[TheRevSFA]

SFA will be 2-0. Gonna pull the upset against SMU

You're giving Lock Haven a lot of love, expecting Rams buses to break down?

I've seen stranger things happen. Please don't ask me to name them, however.

[Seawolf97]

StonyBrook should be ok the first two weeks. We open with back to back home game - 9/1 CCSU and 9/8 Pace Univ. D-2. 9/15 a different story whe we travel to Syracuse.

[MSUDuo]

Missouri State starts @Louisville and @KState

[EKU-n-GSU]

We were told there will be punch and pie

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Getting punched in the pie is the best SFA could expect, IMO. FYI, Garrett Gilbert transferred in.

Ah yes....fans of a team forgetting a teams schedule.....happens all the time.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

You might when he's lighting up SFA's secondary in June Jones' offense. xlolx

[PantherRob82]

Yup, don't have anything better to concern myself with. ;)

WGAF about Central State.

[AmsterBison]

Ah yes....fans of a team forgetting a teams schedule.....happens all the time.

As far as the playoffs are concerned, that D2 game is a guaranteed loss.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

It's not a loss, it's a nothing. They have a 10 game schedule.

[clenz]

It isn't counted as a loss.....
Rob, its not like having a game between Wisky and Iowa is new. That wad the SSU game. Always had a game between the two

with Carney giving Fordham only a 5% chance of an 0 - 2 start and Nova is 1 of the 2 games, how is Lock Haven getting a lot of love???

[TheRevSFA]

Not really. Let me explain. Gilbert isn't worth having at SMU. He should be playing for WTAMU.

[I-16Bandit]

KANSAS will destroy sdsu. not even close with weis as coach.

EWU will be 0-2.

UNI will be 0-2 because most of us dont recognize D2 wins as actual wins.

Kind of like not counting D2 championships when playing in D1?

[LakesBison]

We were d2 @ the time, so we have to count the 8 titles.

1 (should be 2 @ FCS level already in 3 years of.eligibilty!)

[clenz]

Again....you are a ****ing moron that doesn't deserve the air you breathe.


More than 3 years eligible. ****ing fall off the face of the earth

[ncbears]

I don't even know who we're playing but we will.


We've got Utah and then Colorado Mesa. If we do start 0-2, Collins shouldn't be allowed to finish the season.

[Redbirdz]

Mocs, Better bring your A game against Jacksonville State. The Gamecocks will be wanting this one.

[clenz]

Not calling you out but **** like that is dumb as hell. "They wanted it bad"....no ****ing ****. I've yet to see a team (no matter how bad they were) not want to win a ****ing game in college football

[heath]

Liberty??????????Wake and Norfolk St. New coach and lost alot .

[bojeta]

NAU opens at Arizona State, at UNLV

Likely 0-2

Don't count out UNLV as a possible win. That program is down!!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

"We should've won if we hadn't lost!"

Going by that excuse, EWU should have 2, NDSU 0. xcoffeex

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Picking on Missouri State:

@ Kansas State
@ Louisville

....about a 0% chance of not starting 0-2

[RabidRabbit]

SDSU has a history of 0-fer starts.. so, I'd put my money on it.

I'd be surprised if Jacks are 0-2. 1-1 after a loss to Kansas, then a road win at SE LA. Hope to still be in NO LA when the Jacks/Lions play in Hammond.

[344Johnson]

NDSU beat Kansas so its not like the Jayhawks are unbeatable...You guys played Nebraska tough. I wish you luck!!!

Kansas will be a tougher game with Weis coaching instead of Turner Gill.


I don't even know who we're playing but we will.

Truly sad.

[OL FU]

Have no idea but Furman starts with two teams they lost to last year. Samford and Coastal, we then go to Clemson.

[lionsrking2]

I'd be surprised if Jacks are 0-2. 1-1 after a loss to Kansas, then a road win at SE LA. Hope to still be in NO LA when the Jacks/Lions play in Hammond.

Don't bet on it RR xnonox ... new staff, home opener, with just about everything coming back, plus additions for the Lions ... we should be much improved ... not making predictions, but I expect a good game on September 8th.

[LakesBison]

you mAd bro? drop .25 cents in the swear jar


And the Mocs won't?

Thats true, Gill wasn't a very good coach.
