Going to release these a day early.
I'm willing to say the App State game was a fluke at this point. While we have an improved team from last year with much better talent, we still have a coach that continuously makes head scratching decisions and can't play call to save his life... or career. We know every year we are good for one win against a team we shouldn't beat and a loss against a team that we should beat. I believe both have already happened this year. We should have beat Nevada and we should have lost to App State. The rest of the year probably goes as planned.
Looking at the rest of the conference, things seem to be a little more clear than the previous weeks. JMU, while a really good and talented team, seem to be suffering from depth and the fatigue of playing a full FBS schedule. Coastal had a bye week, ODU got their first conference loss, App State looked more... well like App State, and the West continues to look stronger than expected especially compared to the East.
