Southland Conference Predictions

[TexasTerror]

What is everyone's SLC picks? I'll go a step further and put projected records, but encourage others to contribute at least an order of finish!

SFA 8-3 (7-0)
UCA 8-3 (5-2)
SLU 8-3 (5-2)
McN 5-6 (4-3)
TXST 5-6 (3-4)
SHSU 5-6 (2-5)
NWST 4-7 (2-5)
NICH 1-10 (0-7)

SFA wins the outright trip to the NCAAs via the AQ. SLU and UCA will be interesting...

I have SLU losing at UCA and at SFA, with a split of FBS games (not sure how it will come). That split of FBS games may be enough to make up for the 0-2 against the other two SLC elite.

UCA is losing to SFA on the road and falling at home to McNeese with plenty on the line. UCA does have a sub-Div I game, which could bite them in the tail as far as playoffs are concerned, but at 7-3 in Div I games and a win over SLU, could get them in.

Interesting,

IMO, SFA will lose at least two games in conference (one of those will be at McNeese by the way) My pick for the conference champ will be SLU. With that being said and McNeese in a wait and see mode on a transfer QB, we shall see.

I predict that we'll win AT THE VERY LEAST one game this season...

I would hope so! If you had to put a number on it, what would you place it at?

I originally had SFA losing one game, but I'm not convinced that McNeese can win an offensive showdown with the Lumberjacks (home or away).

SLU is going to get plenty of love. Hope they are ready to deal with the preseason hype that they are bound to receive...

[MaximumBobcat]

Depending on QB play for the Bobcats, I think the rest of the pieces on the team have the capability of going anywhere from 4-7 to 9-2.

I would rather not make any specific predictions...because if I say 5 wins then we surely end up with 1.

Problem for TXST lies in road trips to Houston and the two SLC favorites - SLU & SFA. Throw in closing with two road games - McNeese and SHSU - it'll be tough for the Bobcats.

Not saying SHSU or McNeese are world beaters, but if TXST needs to close out the season with two wins for a potential playoff berth or a chance at the SLC title, it'll be tougher to come by on the road.

Well there is where we differ, I do not think there will be an offensive showdown this year. I think the SFA offense is going to get throttled in Lake Charles for sure and probably elsewhere as well. We have seen what happens to Moses when the heat gets cranked up (see Tx State and Montana last year) and the heat will be coming this year.

Moses has improved each year, despite the odds stacked against him and at times, talent that was perceived to not be able to be parts of a well-oiled SLC championship squad.

Wait and see
