I'll start with the SoCon.

Good Surprise - VMI is playing well, they have been so bad for so long and every year was going to be the year that they get better...well it looks like this year is it. 2-1 in the conference, with wins over last year's champ and a team with an FBS Scalp.

Bad Surprise - Mercer, Mercer has been on the brink ofa breakout season, and it initially looked like this might be it....and nope!!! They are playing pretty uninspired football.



General Conference Surprise - We all expected the conference as a whole to be down a bit, but the OOC (fcs) record is rough. We may only see the SoCon as a one bid league this year.


What do you have?
