Hard to say there's ever a hands-down favorite in the CAA. I would expect all those teams to be in the mix, but I would say:

1. UR
2. Nova
3. Towson/UNH

CAA should be improved as a whole, particularly JMU and W&M.

That's a good way to list it heading into the fall though I think we're going to see huge improvement from year one to year two under Ron Roberts. Not saying we'll make the exact same leap Sam Houston did from 2010 to 2011, but there are similarities ... we have a tough schedule and will have to win some difficult road games to achieve our goals but the pieces are in place to have a great year.

Even with defensive issues, UNH has consistently finished in the top 3-4 in the CAA. This year will be no different.

Southland is a rotating conference.

Who will be on top is up for grabs. Sometimes it takes a push off or a lucky bounce on an onside to win it. Other times its pure domination.



Who will be second or third is typically not a big surprise.

Not trying to be a homer. But this.

Richmond has the returning talent and the motivation from how last season ended to put together a big campaign this fall.

That said, the great thing about the CAA is how a team or teams predicted at the bottom always finish at the top.

Watch out for Delaware under their new leadership to be a team that surprises.

Patriot League:

1) Fordham
2) Lafayette
3) Lehigh

That is the correct order, bearing in mind that Fordham is eligible for neither the championship trophy nor the autobid.

FORDHAM - All O and suspect D, but 4 years of scholarships finally begin to show.

LAFAYETTE - The only team in the League where you begin with the positives instead of the holes: the persistent o-line problem will finally be solved, and the Pards begin what I believe will be 4 years of outstanding quarterbacking with Zweizig for two and then Reed.

LEHIGH - Nothing to get excited about, but the best of the rest.

With the Rams not eligible for much of anything, I'll throw in number 4:

COLGATE - McCarney and a huge grab bag of questions does not promise a repeat championship. Still, better than the remaining three.

2011. Granted, it was a four-way tie for second place, but let's not split hairs.

We're bringing back our entire defense, most of our offenssive skill players, and our key special teams guys. Offensive line and TE are admittedly a concern.

We beat Princeton by two touchdowns in New Jersey last year. How do you see them leapfrogging us in 2013? Sure, **** can happen. We lost four projected starters over the summer before the 2010 season, and as a result, underperformed that year. But at this point in time, optimism in Hanover is not without basis.

If you're giving up on Cornell, you should give up on Princeton as well.

Most people based predicted Cornell would be good in 2012 becasue they beat Penn in 2011. I suspect Princeton is getting similar love for 2013 because they beat Harvard in 2012.

But... it didn't work out for Cornell, did it? I don't think it will for Princeton either. I think that Princeton lucky to finish in the top four in 2013, let alone three.

Princeton may be in a different boat but I have not seen Cornell. I was feeling a bit high on the Tabbies after seeing them play us and Lehigh. They are a very aggressive, disciplined bunch who play with energy and tenacity on every down. They have the "it" factor if you believe in such things. Plus, I have to believe that Saucre's system is finally ready to gel this year. The up pace tempo certainly brought them back from the brink against Harvard.

Who else could be in the top three? I'd rule out Columbia and Yale automatically... don't know much about Brown or Dartmouth. And Cornell disappointed last year (and I think they lose some key offensive guys).

You want my prediction?

Harvard/Penn/Dartmouth/Brown is anyone's guess depending on luck, injuries, playmakers, rising to the occasion in fourth quarter, etc. Of those four teams, I believe Dartmouth brings back the most starters. Harvard and Penn deserve the benefit of the doubt based upon sustained success. Dartmouth-Brown has gone down to the wire three straight years.

Then Princeton. Obviously much improved. They beat Harvard, but they also lost to Georgetown. They lose two excellent defenders although they bring back arguably the best defender. They keep playing musical chairs at QB.

Then Columbia. May have the the FCS's best QB talent with the Nottingham transfer from Stanford. But they need more help elsewhere.

And Yale/Cornell at the bottom. Yale is excited about their incoming recruits, but they will be freshmen. Great RB in Varga, but their QBs don't scare anyone. Cornell can't expect to get any more production from Mathews than what he's given them the past two years. Their defense blows, and no one is really expecting improvments. They also have a 25-year old head coach (or something) who is a rookie and will likely experience growing pains.

Interesting your view on our dearly departing brethren. I have been wondering how they will do. I have a feeling that their move will impact their play. One or both may try and overachieve as a parting hoorah. Or they could throttle back without much tangible incentive. It will be interesting how the coaches and players react. The whole situation could be a distraction.

I think it is too close to call without them in the mix. However, I think Wofford will not be as good as most think. I think my Bulldogs will be better than most think.

I agree. Never want to read too much into practices and scrimmages but from what I've seen, the defense does look to be improved. Woody really simplified the approach, which I like. I think Dale Jones tried to mix up the looks so much that the kids were thinking more than reacting. Will be very interesting to see how that side of the ball progresses.

With 10 starters returning, I think the offense will be just fine. Granted, Steven Miller is a huge loss. I don't see one single back on the roster that can fill his shoes but there is enough talent there to be productive on the ground. Really like what I've seen from Magloire so far, reminds me a bit of Travaris Cadet.

We'll see. We lost a few nailbiters last year that could easily have gone the other way. Obviously the comeback against Harvard was statistically improbable, but we deserved the 5 wins we had. Anybody who watched the team saw things gelling after a few years in the wilderness. Player development and good recruiting are paying dividends. Morale is high.

Losing Catapano's a big deal, but keeping Caraun Reid is an even bigger deal, I think. Our lines on both sides of the ball will be stout. We get DiBilio back, which is huge, and having multiple quality QBs is definitely the sort of problem we want.

So. We'll see.

Anyone who says nova is the runaway favorite to win the CAA this year didn't watch that playoff game last year. Stony Brook manhandled nova that day, up and down the field. Considering what they have returning, I wouldn't think it would be shocking for Stony Brook to be perhaps the CAA favorite in their first year.

Even being a homer, I could flip-flop 1 & 2. UM would be a close 4th in a tight race with 2 or 3 others.

I think SBU will compete in the CAA right away. Coker is a beast.

While we looked very good in our spring game on Saturday, I think Albany is probably in for a 6 win season. I just don't think we have enough depth on defense to hold teams down the entire season.


For Stony Brook, we've lost our best 2 defensive players in Reyes and Coats, our quarterback who had the highest FCS passing rating in Essington, the greatest wide receiver we've ever had in Norrell, and the greatest player in the history of our program in Maysonet. Knowing absolutely nothing about our new recruits, this year could be a serious struggle.

Ya, definitely a Jeckle-Hyde team. They looked decent in Fargo last year. I just have a feeling that they are going to be pretty tough this year.

Part of it was lack of Running game--usually our strength. Well we've got two, three-star (6' 238 Mika'il McCall from Iowa and 5'11" 218 Malcom Agnew from Oregon State) and one four star RB (Ken Malcome 6' 235 from Georgia) and one JUCo who runs 4.4 (Tay Willis)--- so if we can't get any yardage on the ground this year it's either the OL or Offensive Coordinators faultxlolx

We'll be running a Two TE set (6'7" 269 pound kid and a 6'3" 248 Returning All-American) and trying to pound people

Defense may be even quicker than last year's. Also brought in three transfer CB's to shore up coverage---but everyone else in the MVFC got better too--if we have no injuries, we could finish third.

The Hoyas have a lot of talent coming back on both side of the ball and regardless of not offering scholarships they are bringing in some talented freshman.

They will surprise in league play...You heard it here first.
Georgetown will fair pretty well in their OOC games but will struggle big time in league play.

You need good coaches to coach the talent and that is something that has gone backwards at GU

Nicholls should worry about beating Lamar and possibly getting good enough to beat IW, HBU, and ACU when they arrive.
When was the last time Nicholls won a conference game? 3 years ago? xlolx

Thanks; with the stress of finals, I needed a good laugh.

I actually remember when Nicholls State had some good teams. Likewise with Northwestern State.....

Glad I could make your day. But remember where you heard it first!

I remember when Sam was the cellar dweller. And that wasn't that long ago. I wonder if you'll still be a fan when that happens again.... and it will

and it took Sam a season to turn around and they weren't at the absolute bottom the season before.

It's Lamar delusional to think you can be at the top of this conference after being so bad in just one season. Nicholls didn't show any improvements last year, so what makes you think this is the year?

Nicholls hasn't won one conference game in years. Predicting the playoff after little progress is silly. Plain and simple. I don't care who your team is.

$500 bet Nicholls doesn't make the playoffs. You in?

edit- oops Nicholls cant the playoffs, your AD scheduled you completely out of it.

edit2- new bet, $500 Nicholls doesn't win 4 conference games (0 wouldn't surprise me at all, honestly). You in?

I'll take it! We should have 3 slc wins when we get to Huntsville. So I guess I'll collect after the game. You shouldn't be hard to find. I'll just ask all 15 people there.

xrotatehxxlolx LOL OK

We both send $500 to Rev or Ursus (I'll throw one of them some cash for a holding fee if one them wouldn't mind doing it. I don't trust anyone else on this site) by 10/11/2013, the day before conference starts.
Since you only have a handful of post, and more than likely going disappear by October this is the only way to be fair.

Deal?

edit- After I win, I will buy as many NC tickets on each sideline as possible and hope the Bison make it back. I will then charge $200+ for tickets and net some major $$$ in this whole deal.
