No scores
Sorry

Coastal Carolina at The Citadel - Upset is possible and while I certainly think the Citadel could make some noise this year, it is still a watch and see until I predict large things for them.

Gardner-Webb at Furman based on last year, certainly wouldn't pick it this way but FU was strong at the end of the season and GWU faltered a little toward the end. They had a good game against Chuck South, but lost to VMI and slaughtered by Liberty and Coastal while Furman won the last half of their season except LSU and Chatt (starting QB out of the game). I think Furman continues strong headed into the season
Samford at TCU Picking the obvious
VMI at Bucknell This is the one I know the least about, certainly hope VMI is better than they have been but it has been a long time since they have been better at football.
Western Carolina at USF Picking the obvious
Wofford at Georgia TechPicking the obvious

...as does Ga Southern.

How much will YOUR check from NC State be?
Since you're semi-FBS now, will it be over 500k? :rofl:

I'll admit two things:

a) the CCU/Citadel game is from the heart, not the head
b) Who in the FUCK are Reinhardt and Mercer?

The butthurt is stong in this one.


Mercer is new to SoCon. Last year they were in the Pioneer League. They reinstated the sport in 2010 however, they had a team from 1892-1941.

A different sport but you might recall that Mercer took Duke out of the big dance last year. :)
