I like Robinson but am I missing something? Everyone around the league must expect him to become the next Kalib Woods or Stoshak. Would’ve guessed TJ Chase would’ve made the list if they picked any receiver. But I wanted to see them use Robinson more last year so I’m not complaining. 

Congrats!

Something about this year feels like we should beat Marshall and win the East. I haven’t looked at Marshall’s roster, but this FAU team has so much talent

Marshall has a new coach and a very young team. I guess people are expecting big things out of Grant Wells but he might be overrated IMO. Started the year strong didn’t look so good against our D and in the final four games of the year. 

They are completely going off of the same thing 99% of prognosticators do: last year.

Bingo if you look back at the pre season lists from years past alot of it is way off.

Not to mention, not a lot of national media attention on C-USA unless one of our schools is having an undefeated season. How would they know!

Barring a slew of injuries on our end.

We are going to whoop them in Boca this year.

Following up with another update: The Athletic projects FAU to finish third in the conference behind Marshall and WKU. I think every respectable and trustworthy outlet (which The Athletic is) I've seen had FAU finishing second before this.

I think people are buying way, way too high on Marshall. That is a culture and program where they collapse every year. I don't think Huff can fix that this early.
