Mercer - Going away
Central Michigan - UTC may be a little overrated, not trying to start an argument, just a gut feeling. Good luck though - would be a nice SoCon win.

Georgia Tech
The Citadel - Most underrated SoCon team. Upset time.
VMI - Heart, not head pick. Keydets need this one badly.
USF - But SoCon teams will not be pushing Cats around like in the past.
Furman - Not as close as most think. Big South can't repeat fluke year.
TCU - Bulldogs have good defense, but so many playmakers gone on offense. The "O" will need time to gel. Turnovers could make it ugly.

xnonox Could be overrated. I can tell that's your opinion. Just based on returning players and how last season played out I would have picked Furman ahead of us. I think we have a lot of unknowns to figure out. Overall we'll be faster and more athletic, but the vacant shoes to fill are by young unproven players. May not know a whole lot until the 3rd game or so. Most of a teams adjustments are made in the first few games of the season.

UTC beat Furman last season. I give the nod to the Mocs.

Granted, I'm interested to know how that game would have played out had Reese Hannon played.

2-6 Tough week for the conference.... Mercer and the Furry Men pull off the W. The Mocs hold strong leading late into the 3rd quarter, but the depth of 85 takes a toll and produces a sloppy 4th quarter score pulls the Chippies ahead....as much as it pains me, Chippies by 3.

Probably hard to call the GWU a "statement game" in Week 1, but the Running Bulldogs were a thorn in the SoCon's side last year and a quality opponent with a veteran roster.

It is too much to say Furman is out for revenge. I think last year the team was still trying to figure things out, had key guys missing time, and looked awful in Boiling Springs. I have often said that Furman will truly be "back" when they go out and hammer a team like GWU at home. Still, in this game, a 1 point win would be a great result.

Other than a few picks for The Citadel over CCU, there appears to be a great deal of unanimity among this weeks selections.
I posted my selection on the Power Poll thread, and won't re-post them here, by a basically followed the general consensus.

Interested to know why you think Gardner Webb will put up 34 on Furman at Paladin Stadium. That's only four points less than Furman surrendered to NDSU in the Fargo Dome.

I expect this will be a low scoring game, not a high scoring game. Two ground and pound teams with tough defenses. If Furman scores 28, I don't think they will lose.

I've picked Furman to pull this game out on my weekly pick 'em because they're the home team, but I honestly think GWU can make a game of it. They surprised quite a few people last year with their defense, and I agree with you that it will be a low scoring game and 28 should be enough for a purple win.

I expect a hard fought game. After last year's game I thought the 2013 season was going to be a laugher for Furman. Looking back, though, you realize that it took four quarters and a come from behind effort for GWU to beat Furman.

GWU is a tough opponent, and I'm not expecting a cake walk. I do think the Running Bulldogs are going to see a much different Furman team than they saw last year. There's film on the new coaching staff, the game is in Greenville, and Reese Hannon is actually going to play.

I noted this last year, but my barometer for Furman's return is when they start winning these OOC games convincingly. Furman used to whip teams like GWU. Let's see if they start doing so again.

Just a hunch Furman doesn't show up week 1. I think they will have a very good season and make the playoffs, but potentially could be overlooking GW. Don't worry, my predictions are usually garbage anyway. I do have an avi bet with Citdog on the CCU game. I'm a little more confident in that pick.

Furman as of late has been a bit slow out of the gate. Add to that Furman has played the last two seasons opening on the road at CCU and GWU. Fowler is a man of details and doing the small things well. His coaching asset IMO over Lamb is his level-headedness and that also becomes the teams DNA. FU will come out and play with purpose and passion.

Furman just needs to keep Hannon healthy and they will do fine. If he goes down, it's trouble.

I think they beat Gardner-Webb. It could just be an illusion but Furman seemed to get better as the year drug on last year.

Why the love for The Citadel? I'm a fan, have been since the early 90s, but they are so un predictable. Id be cautious to say they are underrated. I wouldn't discount them but, ever have they been in the last several years? Where'd they finish in the conference?

Citadel is always a wild card. I think their game with coastal will prove to be interesting though I can't say if they'll win or not as I don't know enough about either team.

with that said, the general sentiment is that the Citadel will improve upon their inconsistency under a new coach, especially one that ran the wing t with great success

The backup is not a bad player. Furman's problem is they had the backup's backup's backup starting meaningful games.

Point is well taken, though. Hannon is a good quarterback.

It is hard to tell if Furman got better in the second half. They finally got healthy about mid-season and went on a tear. I also think Fowler realized that nobody really had an answer for Andrej Suttles, who went berserk in the second half of the year despite not even starting the first few weeks of the season.

I don't see it. GWU embarrassed Furman last season. Furman was basically in elimination mode most of the season. I think they understand how important it is to come out of the gate strong this year.

I'm not saying GWU won't beat Furman. They absolutely could. I just don't see them scoring 34 points. Furman's defense is pretty stingy.

ElCid may be LIGHTS OUT this year...but I did attend/observe their Spring Game. Their #1's D Front 7 was very impressive and Jeter was absolutely un-blockable all day long. On the other hand, the only thing I saw consistent about their offense was that they consistently put the ball on the ground and they consistently had 2 men in motion (which the refs just stopped calling). Also, their WR's, while impressive physical specimens, did not seem to have the passion for blocking that one would expect from a team that has been and still is deploying a run-oriented offense. All of that said, new coaching staff, new system, etc. - they could have that whirring like a well-oiled machine by now - and I suspect Coach Houston will find WR's that want to block if he has to dress Spike the Mascot out to do it - I'm just saying what I saw in the Spring Game. Also, I don't know how inconsistent they may have been in the past, so what I saw on O, as ugly as it was (at the time), could have been, as you stated, an improvement over past years. I will be interested to observe their progress on O this season from what I saw that day.

No, he inherited elite defenses from Bobby Johnson (and Bruce Fowler). After that group, you could count the really good defensive players on one hand.

Not only the players, but the technique. Furman's tackling in 2008-2009 was awful.

I don't understand if you are agreeing or disagreeing. But if you are disagreeing, you should l look at opponents point totals starting in 2005(Which was a great year where we simply outscored most people)

Oh, no, I am agreeing with you. Our 2003 defense was perhaps Furman's best. Our teams started to get progressively worse on defense as they years progressed. Then Lamb went to a 4-2-5 and things really went off the rails.

Granted, I also don't think Furman is playing in a league with App State at their peak and good Georgia Southern teams. Those teams could put up 40 points before you could turn around.

Thanks for the clarification. Just got confused with the way the sentence started. First, I like Bobby Lamb. He will always be MR Furman for me. But with all the justifiable discussions of his offenses at Furman, they were usually good enough to win most games. But defense just fell way short.

Except in 2003. :) That offense couldn't score on the Shady Acres Nursing Home football team, but the defense only surrendered 13 points per game.

6-5 season and the defense gave up less than two touchdowns a contest. That offense was some sorta bad.

Last night's 5 point loss and 2005's 7-3 loss to Cincinnati. Maybe we should apply for AAC membership. LOL! It was a good showing but, alas, USF's true freshman RB was just too much. The pass happy CATS threw it around the field about as much as they did under Bob Waters back in the day. Troy Mitchell torched USF for 374 yards passing, completing 46 of 66 attempts. CATS have two Division II teams up next and should be 2-1 when they go to Paladin Stadium September 27. GO CATS!

Coastal is not better than South Florida but keep telling yourself that. Try not to give up 100 to the Seminoles. LOL!

Actually they are. About 14 pts better.

Ah hell you have to give the dog credit. After all, according to him, El Cid was going to stomp the teal out of the chickens.:)

That's a good write up. THE CATS need to maul both Brevard and Catawba these next 2 weeks. WCU-Furman may just be one for the ages if all goes well. Some of the best games in the series have occurred at Paladin Stadium. 1983 playoff win for Western, 1984 and 1986 regular season games were both barn burners that WCU won and of course the last time the CATS won in Greenville, 1994, was a good showing as well. Stoked for this weekend. GO CATS!
