Conference USA Football 2020 Predictions

meangreen11 · July 8, 2020

The 2020 season for Conference USA is headlined by uncertainty in the East Division and a clear front-runner in the West. UAB is Athlon’s projected champion in the 2020 Conference USA predictions, with coach Bill Clark’s squad anchored by a strong defense and an offense poised to improve with a healthy fall out of quarterback Tyler Johnston III and running back Spencer Brown. The East is one of the more difficult divisions to predict in college football. WKU is Athlon’s pick to win it, but Marshall, FAU and Charlotte should all be in the mix.

Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech headline the next tier in the West Division, followed by Rice and North Texas as potential bowl teams. UTSA and UTEP round out the bottom of the West. Middle Tennessee and FIU should push for postseason trips out of the East, but Old Dominion is likely a year away from contention.

Athlon Sports has released its preseason magazine for 2020, and now it's time to preview and predict the conferences. Below are Athlon's picks and projections for Conference USA in 2020:

If NT does as bad as everyone is predicting, then they are paying the wrong coaches CUSA big money.

What happens after a four win system, but most of these prognosticators are just lazy with their research. Look at nothing but who returns and spend maybe a couple hours research on the whole league.

Hope players out of the last 2 recruiting classes can make a difference. GMG

I’m predicting a 14-way tie for first.

I doubt a season even happens in the fall. Maybe the spring, but who knows...

But if there is a season and we play 12 games, us being around 4th or 5th I’m CUSA West seems very reasonable. Thank God for the UT-spares in our division.
