Athlon Sports is just about repeating last year's prognosis with a 9th place finish for The Owls:
These guys pegged the Owls to finish 1-7, 1-11 last time around in 2011 and were spot on overall, while being one game off in the league standings.
One likely rationale for "repeat performance" is while FAU should close the gap significantly, they could still struggle to pull out games, losing by 6 points or less.
I would almost agree with this assessment, but simply do not believe that this team will practically repeat it's most forgettable year on the field.
It simply can't happen again. There is too much on the line, both from a player, coaching, and pride perspective.

This is stupid, no chance that MTSU wins only 3, and WKU wins only 5. They know nothing and are just using last year's standings as the main justification for this year's predictions.
They predicted our final record last season…….
Just sayin'!

The Belt is the hardest conference to predict. WKU did lose Bobby Raniey and MTSU does not much coming back Troy will be the most improved team in my opinion and i think ULL will fall off they lost two of their best playersHootinHollerin said

We do need a lot to happen for us to be a lot better this year we just lack talent in so many spots. My only hope is the fact SunBelt teams seem to turn it around quickly in many cases in the past.
I hope we are not saying this next year
LOL on the video. We need a QB to play QB to be better than last year is all we need.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
