Campus Insider's Early C-USA Look 2016

[Coach Bill Lewis]

Uh oh.  Bethune Cookman may be a tougher game than you thought.

Continuity. At last.

For the first since the beginning of this decade, Conference USA will enter a new season with the same eclectic mix of members it housed in the prior year. The same 13 programs that competed on grass last fall will be back on the field in September, with UAB set to rejoin the league in 2017 to make for two balanced divisions of seven. For a vulnerable conference forced to be reactionary during the height of realignment machinations, no news has been good news this offseason.

5 Non-Conference Games Conference USA Better Take Very, Very Seriously

Conference USA teams will get ample opportunities to make splashes at the expense of Power 5 programs, as is always the case in September. However, on the way to cashing big checks and swinging for the fences, league members must avoid getting tripped up in the following winnable out-of-conference pairings.

1. Akron at Marshall, Sept. 17
2. Troy at Southern Miss, Sept. 17
3. Louisiana Tech at Massachusetts, Oct. 15
4. Army at UTEP, Sept. 17
5. Bethune-Cookman at North Texas, Sept. 10

When you lose by 59 points at home to a FCS team on your homecoming and see your coach get fired, this is the type of view you receive by the media and fans. We are looked at as being very beatable by an FCS team by those that follow our program.
