Who do you think has the toughest OOC schedule? It looks like we do. What does everyone else think? It's kind of a double edge sword, You give these guys experience playing some heavy hitters, but then your playing heavy hitters, who have the potential to make us look silly. I still think we will have a decent season, compared to last year.

---Lots of starters returning at most places. .... Florida Atlantic seems to have the most.. MTSU and Arky State seemed to have been hit the worst and they still have half of theirs returning.

---This could be good for the conference looking better against outsiders. FAU also has a tough schedule and opens against UT. Lots of big names on the Sunbelt schedules. [or you could say a lot of Sunbelt teams on the schedules of well known teams hoping to collect some wins ] Let's disappoint them.
