I know some of the competition hasn't been great, but they're mostly winning the games they're supposed to and pulled off a few good wins.

In a year when the AAC is off to a rough start, including two of the three teams leaving, it's nice to see the CUSA 6 having some level of success early.

I don't know much about Georgia this year, but UAB just beat them comfortably.

I'm going to predict a 9-2 record for this week. Possibly 8-3, but I'm being optimistic.

[SubGod22]

Rice taking Texas to OT is impressive. Too bad they couldn't pull off the upset.

I think they win the two non-con games. If we weren't playing on Thursday I'd be checking one of these out. Maybe I'll watch the replays. The UAB vs Charlotte game should be a good one. Would also like to see how well UTSA hangs with UNT.

Florida Atlantic received a single vote in the Coaches poll this week, which would place them 43rd.

[SubGod22]

It appears that all of the conference games will be available on ESPN+

Predicting a 6-5 week

Florida Atlantic is receiving votes and would be 38th in the AP. They'd be 40th in the Coaches.

UAB comes in at 41 in the Coaches.

I'm not going to cheat on this weeks prediction even though it's late (Thursday morning). I would have had Charlotte and UAB winning their games on Monday.

Prediction 11-5

FAU continues to win. North Texas, Charlotte and UAB I can't quite figure out. Rice continues to surprise.

Prediction 7-4

[SubGod22]

Rice is going to be a 20 win team.
FAU is already a 20 win team.
North Texas is going to be a 20 win team.

UAB and Charlotte might be 20 win teams, but they have work to do as they seem to have stumbled a bit the past few weeks, losing 5 of their last 7 games each.
