Coastal Carolina is quietly putting to together a very good athletic program.

3

Hmmmmmm…so UTEP, La Tech, and us should be top 3 in CUSA per their ratings?

4

You would assume so. What about Tulsa, did they lost a lot this season?

Tulsa is no longer in CUSA. (AAC)

6

You would assume so. What about Tulsa, did they lost a lot this season?[/quote]NA already pointed out that Tulsa left, but no they did not lose a lot. They had a VERY young team last year. Mostly freshmen and sophs I believe. They could be a strong team in the AAC this year.

7

So, it looks like we will be in the Top 98. I predict we come in at Number 28.

8

I think we will be around 85. Utep will probably be around 65, and La Tech 40ish.

9

When was the last time the national consensus thought more of our team going into a season than we did?

Never. ::slight_smile:

11

Are they ranking us up because they aren’t sure Major will be back, or down?

12

I agree. If they are smart, they stay in the Big South and pull that auto bid forever.
My high school age daughter says it’s starting to become a “hot” school for kids wanting to be near the beach.

Looking ahead at future comments about where we wind up… If we make the Top 85, Major has proven he is a good coach. If we miss out on the Top 144, this outfit doing the rating has no idea what they are doing.

#83 UTEP MINERS C-USA #3
#84 Green Bay
#85 Creighton

Us and La Tech left, I’d say. Would feel better if they didn’t pick #3 in CUSA as the 83rd team, of course they are stating in the write up that CUSA will once again be a one bid conference (no shock if that happens). The conference, I think, is wide open. Only shame is that the hot team at tourney time will go to the NCAA’s. Hope its us.
