East

UCF 6-2 (UH, Cincy)
East Carolina 6-2 (Navy, UCF)
Cincy 5-3 (Memphis, UH, East Carolina)
Temple 4-4 (Cincy, UCF, East Carolina, Memphis)
USF 2-6 (Memphis, Navy, East Carolina, Temple, Cincy, UCF)
UCONN 1-7 (Navy, UCF, USF, Cincy, ECU, UH, Temple)

West

Navy 6-2 (SMU, Tulsa)
Memphis 6-2 (Navy, SMU)
Houston 5-3 (Tulane, Memphis, Navy)
Tulane 4-4 (UCF, Temple, Navy, Memphis)
SMU 3-6 (East Carolina, UH, USF, Temple, Tulane)
Tulsa 1-7 (UH, East Carolina, Memphis, SMU, UCF, Cincy, Tulane)


The East is between Cincy and UCF, but East Carolina could throw a wrench in things. (Call me a homer if you like, but avoiding the WTF games will put East Carolina in the hunt.)

The West is a little easier to figure. Memphis is the strongest team, but I'm high on Navy and think the edge out Memphis who might be looking ahead to UH.

Interesting, you have Memphis losing to SMU and SMU losing to Memphis.

Thanks for catching that. Fixed it. SMU surprises everybody with a win @ Memphis.

If UConn has 1 win, but no team loses to UConn, do they really have 1 win?

Dammit, y'all gonna make me dig out my paper from 2 months ago when I did this. I'll look for it the next few days.

I don't think Uconn gets blanked, but looking at it again, I don't know who they beat. ECU,UH,Navy,USF at home... Maybe they get USF, dont see them getting any of the other three, maybe a win at Tulane on the road.

04-cheers Just busting your stones.

Again, this year, the conference will be solid at the top. Memphis, UC, and Temple will likely have 9+ wins, UCF, Navy, and ECU should all have at least 7+ wins, and Houston should get at least bowl-eligible.

But the bottom of the conference will be horrid. I have no confidence in Taggart, Curtis Johnson, or Bob Diaco; though at least Diaco has an excuse in that he is still trying to play "Humpty Dumpty" and put UConn back together again. Tulsa, SMU, and Houston all have first-year, first time Head Coaches...at least Houston returns some talent to work with. But I think that Tulane, SMU, and UConn are all looking at the potential of finishing with < 3 wins. Tulsa and USF are probably looking at <5 wins...and a couple of those will be because they (Tulsa and USF) get to play Tulane, SMU, and UConn. This bodes the best for Tulsa, being out west.

Them's my guesses.
